It currently has a 318 under the hood that will fire but not run.

Re: New Tires, What Size am I Better off with?

Found a nice Tire Size Comparison Calculator https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Would a 265 have a big sidewall stickin out on a 6.5" rim? uh, yes... just over an inch wider... is that 'big'? Would they even clear the wheel wells? Don't know, maybe also be concerned about tire rubbing the steering arm...

Re: Mecum Kissimmee auction

That truck was discovered and owned by Kyle (olddodges) on this forum for many yrs. Thanks. I had forgotten who it was. olddodges.com/2021/07/05/1971-dodge-sweptline-special-survivor/ In May, it rolled across the auction block ... for over $30,000. Not bad for a truck that cost just over $2,300 50 ...
