Re: Narrowed Rear End?
How much narrower are you considering?
Sometimes it's cheaper to find a 'car' housing that's already the right width which keeps things 'stock' vs. custom/narrowed. Seems like alot of things w/that ID attached get expensive in a hurry.

Re: Narrowed Rear End?
Thanks for the replies guys. I am thinking of running 33x21.50x15's on 15x15 rims. I will have to narrow the frame as well. If i buy new axles and have them drilled for 5 lug what drums will fit my original rear end?

Re: Narrowed Rear End?
What I would do is change the backing plates to the '76-'87(?) style which use the wider 2 1/2" shoes. Then you use the same year of drums.
