Here she is, my 3rd Luber. Lunar Green. All stock, rebuilt 170 six. Buckshot mudders. Bought her to preserve in her current state. My others were 302's, so the 170 is going to be a learning curve, will be on here with a ton of questions I know.

Very nice! They have remolded the bias ply buckshots fyi- gateway doesn’t make them anymore , someone else. The tread is exactly the same as they used to be. They only make two sizes and they aren’t as tall as back in the day

All they reproduce now are
N/78-15 and P/78-16

They are still made by Gateway. If any one needs them let me know. I actually work for the company that still owns the molds. We had production issues with them a couple years back. Hesselbein who owns the molds actually owns Gateway also. We are working on getting the Q back into production

Any idea on a time frame for the Q's? Just bought a square body chevy that needs a set!

I really hope you can get the sizes back to where they use to be, I have ran these tires for years and was really bummed when I purchased a set of P78x16's, they were about the same size as the original N78x15's. How far out are they to getting them back to original specs? soon as they do I will purchase a new set for sure

That's a very cool looking Bronco, Prest72! I would just get it driveable and maintain the current look.
