Wow, I didn't know your tyres were that bad. Thought they were just old but suitable for yard driving. Now it looks like the time for a new set. Or just keeping the truck on the jack:)

I singled them out for now yes the one on the outside rare was so shredded. It used to keep dripping rubber every time I move the truck at all now I can’t even find any 10-20 tube types I am going to run around shortly and see if I can find some used. Takeoffs might be easier and cheaper to buy.

Bit of a work out there Bob.i havent done truck tyres in years but then im only 17......in my head🤣.you could say the tyres are part worn just dont say what part!!! Any harm to ask what the wheel nut torque is on the spyder spoke wheels???.keep up the great work im looking forward to seeing that Bulldog driving down the road...

and yes, I was aaaaawwwwwwddd at how fast those rims fell right out. I would’ve thought at least a long struggle and I didn’t even have a stand, which would’ve made it a little easier, but I really didn’t even need it. Are you talking about laundry soap to loosen the rims from the flaps and the beads ?

When i was driving trucks for a living i lost 2 wheels off a trailer i had just picked up.all looked good when i done my walk around inspection but a few hours down the road off came the wheels just missing a few people on the footpath or sidewalk as you say in the US.man id nightmares for weeks after that...

Thanks for that. Yes, the container chassis around here are all using 1100 22 five.  On the 20 inch spokes That’s what I’m hoping to find the tires only have a little thread. At least those sizes are a lot easier to find no flap and no tube. right now, I would just be happy to find the rims. I was just going to use what I have, but I’m having a problem trying to find 1020 tube type tires

Let’s just creepy drove trucks for 49 years. I’ve only lost one wheel was around 15 years ago, but the.Rim cracked all around the bolt pattern and it came off night time , Reno to las  Vegas gone  I have no idea what happened to it or where it went I was also hoping I didn’t kill anybody that road is pretty dead at night, though. I’m sure it just rolled off the side of the road and down the embankment 

there was a buddy of mine, following me all the way down there were talking on the radio next night, he told me he never saw it. Come off.

Well, I went out there and started the DM. I was gonna maybe do a little work on it but it’s too cold and windy. I did stare at that corner for a while and try to figure out what my next move is sometimes you just have to stand back and try to figure out what you’re going to do with it, it’s gonna be a little tricky so I don’t wanna jump into it until I have it all prepared properly I did spot a couple of more areas. I was not happy with as far as grinding. It still needs a little bit more…. Bob

OK, well it’s getting a little too chilly now to work with a fiberglass so I was just telling the old lady last night. I’m gonna move that transmission into the shop. That’s been sitting out there for 100 years and start going through it. Get ready to put in. And she said well we gotta get the kitchen cabinets done. I have decided it’s about time to continue on  the project. I started a couple of years ago so I’ll get it moved into the garage anyway I have no job. I can’t see why I can’t just work on the cabinets And the Mack ha ha happy Saturday I have been bugging her all along to take all the food out of them for the longest time. I guess she decided OK it’s time to start taking the food out of them…. Bob

I dunno Bob, I  have been getting the silent treatment all week, not sure if I should fix what ever I have done or enjoy the peace and quiet

Have done a few kitchens over the years, new ones aren't made with proper wood and hinges seam to come a drift pretty easily 

Happy cabinet making

Oh, just pick your poison vlad!!!!!! she cried for a number of years you keep buying all these parts for that thing and you don’t do any work on it now that I actually started working on it last summer she cries that all I do is work on it, but as long as I’m splitting it up and taking care of honeydew she doesn’t really say a whole lot …. Sitting around all morning just had lunch now. I gotta go out and rake some more leaves ha ha
