Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

Nice truck, running some nice rubber at the back too. Like the big block nothing compares.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

So are you fitting the 315's inside a stock wheel well. probably right just has a correct offset.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

So how much is it lowered, just wondering as working on a 72 with rear bags that will ride at 6" lowered and 8" sitting, so the 315's may fit width but profile may have to drop some, you said 60's i think right. Might be doing more work than I thought, haha.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

Ya they are 60 series tires the truck is lowered 6.5 in the rear if I go much lower then they would be hitting on the outside wheel well (side wall bulge) you may have to do a mini tub and go with bigger back spacing if you plan on being 8 lower when air out

Well at least now because of yours I have a reference and does sound like no choice on the mini tub, more work if i go that route but maybe since the bed is a bit rough I could just raise the bed floor. have to look at that route also. I am sure the mini tub is less work haha. Any idea on your back spacing. Still have to buy rims.

I'm running a 4.5 back spacing but assuming you still have the stock 72 rearend you are probably need to go with a wheel with a tad more due to a 68 has about a 1 5/16 more narrow rearend than a 72

Thanks, I always liked the pale yellow also. I used the pale yellow from SPI. They stopped carrying it though.
