You're making a pretty dire situation out of having to potentially change a tire on the side of the road, where the tire change currently involves a bunch of hand tools in the middle of a field, not power or shelter or transportation.

No, he's making a pretty dire situation out of dealing with a heavy truck having a blowout at speed on lovely midwestern winter roads, and having to do exactly what's being done now only in a ditch alongside the highway is the best result. The worst is not having enough of 14" left to bury.

Calm your tits.

Honestly, I don't get why he bothered to swap the engine when he could have just pushed it across the country.

I assumed they would sawsall the body off the van and weld the truck frame on top of it and just drag the old tires.

Quite frankly, you need to add this to your resume. "I went to the frozen wastes of a nebraska farm field to swap a 350 tbi from a van into a '50s dump truck in sub freezing weather that regularly dropped into the negatives. Oh, and did a tire change on split rims in said field, no cage nor specialized tools to assist me. Then I drove that dump truck 1000+ miles to deliver it to its owner. :radcat:". Instant hire anywhere you want.

I think 22 inch rims are easy to find that will fit the rears just fine. For highway spares on your stop at every old truck graveyard journey.

To be honest, I don't know what else you could add to your resume that would top this. Once this gets goldmined, I think prospective employers could look it up there without the paywall :unsmigghh:

Good job on the tires, by the way. The hard part's almost done! (I think? I don't know a lot about cars lol)

You are going to fit in just fine in Tennessee.
