Yeah they are 15x12 with 4" back spacing. 35" mud rovers up front and currently 33" thornbirds on the back. Waiting for a good price 2 more 35s. I have family in Dover,PA so I go by Maryland all the time. We used to go to Ocean City 2 or 3 times a summer for vacation when I was younger. Nothin' beats Ocean City Boardwalk fries with Vinegar. Hit me up if you're ever down here in Hampton Roads. I'm about 45 minutes from the North Carolina border.

81 Shortbed
My 81. Regearing to 4.88's shortly. Probably locking the front as well. Currently looking for a nice Heating Control Finish Panel in woodgrain if anyone knows where to find one. Also recarpeting - will probably go with indoor/outdoor carpet from Home Depot as I have seen others do with good results. But will consider any other suggestions that people have had success with for flooring.

it has heavy surface rust on frame and running gear. not unsaveable but not entirely ireversable. back half has it worst off would need cutting and replacement to be salvageable. but pretty solid start. if kept full chassis would be best option for long term or swap for resto purpose's. bed shot non salvageable but purchased cali bed for an 82 sr5 (super lucky) prepping to strip n shoot
