Re: Just a coupe of pics of my 454 & new wheel trim
Wow! now that is some nice rubber- sitting in the wheelwell right on the money
 Couple of questions- -Do those big meats clear the stock frame/ suspension? -Are those Dodge taillights? -Do you need a longer gun/ lead for that Snap- On welder? I used to have a YA212IND, and hated the short lead it came with. Later on after the gun was getting bad, I bought a new gun with the longest lead they had. I don't have the welder anymore, but still have the barely used gun/ lead in the original box.

Re: Just a coupe of pics of my 454 & new wheel trim
The rear tires do clear the stock suspension, with exception given to the springs. One has to change to a non taper style spring - the same style used in the front suspension. The bed floor needs trimed back to the frame rail.
The emergency brake cables need to be pulled away from the edge of the wheel otherwise they will rub the edge of the wheel. No they are not dodge taillights. 18.5" x 31" Hoosier Pro Street Radials on 15" wide wheels with 9" of - offset
