So....let me get this straight. Not factory wheels or tires.....you have endorsed Michys XLs, oh sorry, Michelin XLs 11.00x16's in the past for PWs, sorry, flat fender Power Wagons and they are not the correct size.
I have seen your outstanding photos of your father's line crews. The "can do" attitude that those men possessed and hardships they overcame through adaption is simply amazing. They thought outside the box, hint, hint. They did not use todays OSHA standards, they sometimes paid for that, but I doubt they rarely failed in their tasks, overloaded, under-inflated, or whatever.
Back tot he subject....Norm's group of wheeler's/mall crawlers were having fun......that is what they were doing that day. I don't think the guy in the Cheby is a %^$# idiot, he was having fun. I bet he will tell his story for years to come. Stuff breaks, that is all there is to it. Whether its a custom built $10,000 HP TruHi 9" front axle pinion or a stock Cheby IFS, get out there have fun with your old or new truck.
Color outside the lines every once in a while, take a chance, maybe go outside without the 38 SPF lotion, take the 48 out for a good beating and drive it like satan.

PS-I wish I would have bought that set of fenders b/c I would have either give them to a friend or sold them to the highest bidder. One way or the other, I'd be drinking good whiskey and have some salivating BBQ that night.
