I can still faintly see the original lettering painted on the doors. I don't know why, but the tire size ('Tires 8.25-20') was painted on the doors along with the owner's name and truck weight. Anyone know why the tire size was painted on the doors? Was that common at one time? Thanks. [Reply]  [Send Email]

The state fees based on the truck size.   [Reply]  [No Email]
