That truck could have a 307 and a 3 in the tree and it would still be my favorite truck.

I've seen a dozen people (including myself) ask this question and never gotten an answer

I don't blame him, I wouldn't want anyone to know either

what is the backspacing on the front and rear to get that much lip but still tuck?

He bought the truck like that...so chances are he doesnt know the answer to that

I think 4" is the minimum backspacing on a 10" rim from American Racing. I would guess that to be it.

Yes, I did buy the truck like this. That does not mean I don't know anything about building vehicles...I just saw it as a good investment.
I've never tried to keep anything a secret and have always replied to PM's about the truck. I know of one individual that is building a truck very similar now and have always thought of myself as being helpful in the past.
I've never provided an exact measurement for backspacing on either wheel. The front is pretty much a zero offset wheel. The rears are mounted with the hoops reversed. Exact measurements really don't matter unless you're using the exact same rear end that I have.
Did I build this truck? No. But I have built and worked on enough projects to know that if I wanted to build a truck that looked the same...I would order my wheels first and then have a rearend cut to fit.
The truck is a very nice truck but there were some serious issues that the PO never addressed. The truck almost burned itself down to the ground less than a week after I bought it because of the spaghetti styled wiring in the engine compartment.

Awesome. Thanks guys. Ewing's truck is the exact color/model as mine. Simply stunning. The deep dishes on the shorty and Blazer make me wanna shorten the rear end. Where to buy cheap TT IIs...
