Post pics of back-halved trucks
Got my brother into these trucks and he went out and bought one yesterday.
 He was telling me he is thinking about back-halfing the truck to fit a 20x14 wheel.

Had to Google it myself: From the Slang dictionary

Re: Post pics of back-halved trucks
same as doing a camaro/nova etc.. cut it off around the rear seat area and adding a whole new 4-link style suspension with big ol fat tires...... nice thing is you can fit 31x18.5x15's under this truck just by tubbing the bed and using stock suspension.......... as you can see ive been there done it............

Re: Post pics of back-halved trucks
leaf spring or coil rear? makes a big difference. if its coil spring then he wont need to modify the frame, just widen the wheel tubs

Re: Post pics of back-halved trucks
yeah drag racing is mostly where its used
our school car is back halfed to fit the slicks al it is, is the rear frame is too wide to fit wide tires, so they chop off the back, and make a skinnier frame to house everything

QKENUF4U I like those tubs! How many sets of fenders did you use to make them?
