    That’s very interesting Not sure if you knew this but I worked in a tire shop way back in 73 did mostly big rigs but almost all of our customers at 10:20 split rims I would only see the bigger ones on up construction equipment my mind is slipping but I would’ve sworn we had a few customers with 1200/24I can’t remember but there wasn’t that many of them even back then. … I’ll tell you what man that’s a rough way to go especially for a skinny little kid I looked like Charles Atlas after a few weeks of swinging that tire hammer

    Well that sucker is in really good shape I would love to have it but I already decided to change the color of my interior since I got a perfect brown one I am sure you won’t have any trouble getting rid of it….. But yes I will definitely take it off your hands if there is no takers . I didn’t think it was gonna fit but I thought it might be possible. bob

    Ya same here old age and Covid while back mind is going fast but yes seems the lighter green was shinier dark green was definitely flat I often wondered if they used the military green and as far as interior kits I also like them but I think most of us prefer the ready to work look . Also the darker green steering wheel was my favorite all all of them especially the bad ass horn button I wish I could find one green center with the bulldog.. Bob
