    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

I even have one for a Briggs & Stratton and they really get down with the fine print and detail Bob

    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

    Yes I was thinking the same thing the guy probably bucks in there all the time and knows exactly where to start Cutting it so on so forth besides the fact that’s pretty much the only way you can get in there I think we’ve all had doors like that there were almost impossible to get into May company downtown Los Angeles I’m sure Some of you are familiar with it

    I’m sure it’s right at the top instead of the side that’s the way all the newer shit is you could probably just change the shifter ball that’s probably the least of your troubles ha ha good luck nice clean interior by the way .Bob

    After sucking it in it looks like the mesh and the housing are 2 different pieces it’s got to be some sort of custom job….. try the chrome shop I’m sure you will find what your looking for … Bob
