<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SmallPackage, post: 12377093, member: 290219&quot;]Family has always had trucks since my Great Grandfather started his Bull Service in Sikeston , Mo. in 1938 but my uncle had told me once that back in the early 70’s when he really got started with building up and branching out more that new tires were around $100 ea. Cost of getting them retreaded was $25. So tire cost was cheaper on its second life. 4 retreads for the price of one new. A very good way to run in most cases. Steel lock ring Budds back then were heavy and prone to cracking so He slowly bought Alcoa’s as replacement’s as time went by. That was the biggest expense over time because they were more expensive back then then now and actually added a few more grand to the new truck price. Not uncommon and that’s why most trucks came with steel inners on drives or only Alcoa on steers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
