As for the paddle tires, I never seen them used on all 4 wheels so I guess there is only one way to find out..Let us know how they work. Be sure to post up some pics when your truck is complete.

    Status: offline     		i would get more parts but i only had enough $$$ for the truck and the radio. the fuel, glow igniter, other stuff would have cost too much.

    also i need help was there a space between the clutch plate and the motor cause i could only find the cone spacer. and am i the only 1 that finds the clutch springs a pain in the a** cause i cant get it on rite

    and any install tips?

    also im leaving for 10 days tomorrow so i wont be able to finish it till the 17th but i have a few hours tomorrow i can work on it

    Status: online     		There is a brass "cone" as you call it that goes on the crankshaft and the flywheel sits on top of that.
    The clutch springs can be tough to get seated. Take your time and use a small screw driver to slip the spring over the clutch nut. Be careful it doesnt fly across the room.
    If you can take a picture to show what other spacer you are talking about that would help.
