Well, here's the deal with the wheels. I've still got the original set with tires, but they are too small for my liking. They're only 29" tall and the wheels are 16.5"X7". Not a size that's easy to find tires for. Well I got a killer deal on these 32" Big O XT's out of the wrecking yard for $60 a tire. that were virtually brand new. Only 1/32" wear on them. But I had to buy new wheels to go with them because they mount on 16" wheels. So I got the cheapest pair I could, which turned out to be white. I wish I had paid a little bit more now and got the black ones. So any way, come spring I will be very carefully painting them BLACK. As far as the decals go, I can't help you there. These are original on the truck, the warranty sticker placed ther by the Chrysler, the nomenclature placed by the Army. I would think that your truck would have that too. I've seen it on other M880's. I've added a few other things that weren't on the M880's originally. Bear in mind the gov't was spending bare min. on these so they got the stripped model. I've added: pw sterring, air stove air cleaner(for faster warm up,) cigaret lighter, glove box light, automatic choke, flex fan blade, tilt forward bench seat latch, etc. Also replaced transfer case with $150 gov surplus case. Also partially derust and painted frame and repainted inside bed. Any way, it's a great truck, I'm very satisfied with it. paid $1,500 for it with 23,200 original miles.
