Default should I or shouldn't I..

Bought a very clean 1984 F150 Short box the other, and after I get a few drivability issue straightened out I will need to get tires on it..

I am torn between leaving it original or putting these turbines I have laying around on it?

What do you guys think?

It will look good either way.
I would put the turbines on with new tires and put the stock wheels, tires and hubcaps away in a clean, dry storage area.

Personally, I'm big on original equipment on the older style trucks. Real classics don't need improving. Obviously you can feel free to disagree but if I had the original wheels and hub caps that is what I would leave on it.

Ive only ever seen those wheels on the bronco. The ones on the truck in the pictures. And my opinion is web slingers belong on the general lee
