;D Found on the internet and i still think they are sweet. Especially how the Chevies are loaded on to a Chevy carrier and the GMCs are on a GMC carrier.

(well, except the second pic, those appear to be on a Freightliner carrier.)

Post by: Lt.Del on August 15, 2010, 10:51:05 am: stock tires on our year trucks, non 4x4, always looked small to me. I have 235 75 15 on my 79 rear wheel drive fleetside, and the wheel wells always looked big to me, making the tires look small. but, i am used to it and don't care. When i put all terrains on all corners, makes it look better, but i have goodyear wranglers on it and they look smaller. just my opinion i guess.

Are you talking about the semi? Cause that's probably a tag axle or something.

Post by: Blazin on August 15, 2010, 09:40:09 pm: Its a pusher axle. A tag is behind the drive axle. If thats what you are talking about. They do that so the tires don't scrub on humps, or high spots when up.
