Re: 1969 Short Wide
I don't think it matters anymore if you're doing a total resto on any vehicle. Nothing is cheap and if it is, it sucks. I almost sold the Challenger mess when I started looking at the price of parts to restore it.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Truck is looking great Mike. Nice to see you have been driving it for a while with no major issues.
I hope to have my stepside on the road this spring. It is moving under its own power for the first time since I bought it. Just a few bugs to work out and some small stuff to finish off before I can take it to the alignment shop. Can't wait for the snow to go away.

I've gotten to drive the old red truck a little so I thought I'd share some winter page flip pictures.

Re: 1969 Short Wide

You should know better because you're going to be asked.... Wheel/tire size/specs?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Wheels look killer! I'm in for the specs too, especially since the fronts have (2) different BS options. Those wheels fit perfect!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks for the specs. That tire looks wide for a 275. Does it look like you room for a 295 out back?
