Re: '55 Body onto a 1999+ 4x4 Frame

I have done a lot of searching,,I also want to make mine a 4x4,
without the front wheels sticking past the front fenders, with a decent size tire..
I have a 91 s10 blazer that I will clip the front end(frame) off, then install a v8 efi
with 15x8 wheels and 265x75x15 tires, the front outside wheel/tire combo is 71 1/2"
my outside fender width is 74" that leaves about 1 1/4 inches inside tire clearance per side..
looks right for me without the hard ride of a strait front axle 4x4..
my 2 cents
