Re: Cheap trick patina 70

Is the rearend the 71-72 width? I guess even the 67-70 width would be to wide too though. What's the width/BS on the wheels?

I changed it to the older one already. I knew with the lip of the rim it would never fit but I had to try. I appreciate the info.

The upper and lower bars that go from the frame rail to the center pivot are not installed yet they are what center the rearend as the rear moves up and down the center pivot makes up for the difference in length as the bars travel threw there arc. here is a pic to give you an idea.

Re: Cheap trick patina 70

That makes sense on the watts link..last time I saw one was on a Camaro, and it was preloaded at 45-degrees..wouldn't that cause a little stepping out?
