When I was rebuilding the trailer JC Whitney was selling them for $14 each. I liked the retro look and stainless steel shell but had to replace the 6v bulb with a 12v one. Funny thing is they only list a left side so I spent 20 minutes looking for the right side until I realized the Model A came with only a left tail light.
I just got thru with a spring over axle conversion:

Loco: truck has just a leveling kit in it and some decent shocks. Both pics show the 315/75-16 Pro-Comp Extreme A/T's. Wore those out and bought a set of Nitto M/T's in the same size for off-road and i have a set of the 285/75 Dura Grapplers on for everyday use. I'm gettin' old and cant stand the noise from the m/ts for everyday drivin'.
vt: all the rack is Yakima i have collected over the years. The basket is a load warrior. I got it off the side of the freeway on the 580 after an accident had cleared! It must have come off the car/truck and the tow driver didn't bother to pick it up. The cross bars were still attached to it. I have a 2 seat kayak we throw up there when we are going near some water.

I got an honest 38K. I rotated them regularly and used them for about a 50/50 mix between everyday and desert. I wouldn't buy them again for the simple fact that for the last third of the treadlife they were insanely LOUD!
It was a good desert tire and if i lived in the desert or spent at least 80% of the time off-road i might consider them again. I ended up with the new Nitto Dura grapplers for every day and a set of Nitto M/T's for trips to Baja and beyond. The key to keeping this setup affordable is the inexpensive steel wheels. I paid 70.00 each for the black steelies.
