The stock set-up won't tuck.
This is why I love this board! I like the idea of longer arms and single wheel hubs instead of that long space between the bearings and the hub flange. Not to mention the unsprung weight of that one-ton hub!

Lo, when you say "the stock set-up won't work"---do you mean with the semi wheels (like the pic, and like Rus will use)? In other words; mine is a '72 C20, I will run stock 16" steel one-ton wheels, shorter-than-stock tires (IDK the height yet), stock subframe, PB lengthened arms & bags, & C20 or C30 SW hubs. If I (I mean Nate) get the hub-to-hub dimension right, I should be good to go, huh? I know it won't lay frame, but at a lowish ride height, it will prob be driveable, or will it?

Hope I didnt get off into hijack territory Rus, but like you, I love it when I find a man who knows!
