Re: Think i got my wheel dialed in
Thanks Guys,
Embarrassed to say I had it in at the mark Flat out engineering plans calls for (from front of frame back to center of crossmember 27.5 inchs) well i put it in and thought that i had the wheel centered and welded it in, Well after double checking after i was over zealous with welding it in i found that i was an idiot and had the wheel to far forward, I couldn't live with it so cut it back out and hate to say the Mistake cost me $211.00, had to buy new coil spring mounting brackets and C notch piece's. After My Son Convinced me to move it back 2 more inchs I am allot happier with it and it would make seance as 58-9 frames are suppose to be 2 inches longer at the front frame horns? Allen |

Re: Think i got my wheel dialed in
Got my C-notchs moved back 2" and a little more welding and grinding
I should have them back were they belong, also filled in the recess area were the stock steering column went. Allen |

Re: Think i got my wheel dialed in
It's always a good idea to correct it now.
The wheel looks centered in the fender. May the Forum be with you. . |

Re: Think i got my wheel dialed in
Glad to hear 58/59's are longer as my 57 seems good at about 5/8 forward of the 27 1/2 from front.

Re: Think i got my wheel dialed in
58CameoAZ or anyone else with FO front on 58/59... couple questions:
What was the final distance you settled on from center of the wheel to frame front? How did you work with the boxing plates fitting weird in relation to the c notch and crossmember... did you trim it and scoot it forward or is it supposed to primarily box behind the crossmember? Thanks!
