Actually I was planning on handling them myself. The wheels are solid and they are the three piece design which seems much less dangerous than the two piece version. I just need a set of decent used tires and I'll buy new tubes and flaps. I also need to find lugnuts and studs. This weekend I will take off the front driver side wheel and drive out a couple of the studs. One is broken off and so I need to remove that one anyway and then another one so I can get dimensions from it and see what I can find online to match up to.

Yes I wanted to find a truck with the V6 and I am looking for a second complete truck, but at least this one starts right up and works for now. If it ever gives me real problems then I'll swap a more modern drivetrain into this one. I have a few engines laying around.
