I need help determining something.
 
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what size tires are on this guys truck. I tried emailing him but I got no response.

Oh BTW, how the hell do you swap in a 6.5 Turbo Diesel? This guy claims to have done it... now I want to.

There you go i fixed your post.

I would also say 35's also. And yes i have heard of diesels in half ton trucks.

35"s is what I guessed, but I haven't the slightest clue of what I'm talking about.

I spent a few hours last night researching the 6.5 swap, and the conclusion I have drawn from it is that, yes, while it is indeed possible, it's a royal pain in the ass and the trade off in mileage is almost negligable. (Diesels lasting longer seems to be the only advantage, along with the added grunt of more torque than I'm used to turning.

Can I get some opinions? I don't care what they're based on.

5.7/350 or 6.5 Turbo Diesel?

They look like35x12.50 which is what I ad only 93'. As far as the deisel, yes you can swap one in but you need to upgrade the suspension as the 6.5 is much heavier. Your increase will be in pulling power and highway milage.

Exactly my thought, I'd say 35's as well..................... Nice LQQKIN truck too.........
