    Something tells me due to the silence and evil eye you got when we pulled up more than that was said when you got home from dropping me off! :lol:

    You can tell me all about it when we're sitting around the campfire this weekend.

    Suggestion for the seats:

    I went to the Pull and Save/U Pull It on 62nd and Pecos and they sell non heated/electric/leather bucket seats for $22 each. I got a pair from a Rodeo in my heap now. Course with the 40, you might want to spring for the extra bones for a heated set....

    Source the tires from craigslist or the various forums. Everyone sells good tires under 35" tall as most people are going up from the 32s and 33s. Should be able to get a good set, maybe with rims, for around $250-300 if you aren't too picky on brand.

    When you look for tires talk to me Rob. I have a set of virtually new BFG A/T's 33x12.5x15 on Toyota wheels I might sell. I figured I'd hold on to them for emissions and such but maybe not. I have no idea what they might be worth.

    Always nice to see another 40 around! Congrats!, thats a nice one!

    Whats Hiding under the Tread Plate? 31's and a locker would be a nice start, but Its hard to stop there. Every time i get into my 40 it puts a smile on my face

    And Rip that top off ASAP! It took me 2 years before i took mine off, and i Regret it, It never goes back on now!

    Missed this last post. Thanks.

    Haven't checked under the plates yet. I'm hoping the PO just put 'em there for decoration. Lift and 31s first (unless I can get Chris' 33s to fit). Locker down the line.

    I definitely want to got topless, after owning a '75 40 back in the '80s that was a soft top. Didn't even keep that on very much. Unfortunately, I have to deal with some rust in the back first and I don't have garage space for it right now.
