Re: Owen's C10
Looks like it's time to narrow the rear axles. Talk about filling the space between frame rail and fender! That's going to look awesome!

Re: Owen's C10
good thing your going with a Watts Link to keep the rear centered, the tires are going to be tight on the frame rails

Re: Owen's C10
got the rear end cleaned up with the grinder, took all the guts out....getting it ready to get narrowed 5.5" per side, once the tires come in I'll double check my measurements and drop it off.

Re: Owen's C10
I was going to say,... Make sure to measure with the tires on the rims.
That's the only way to be sure.
But you got it covered!

it was harder to put the valve stems in without a tool than it was to put the tires on, and I saved a few bucks.
