Re: Project "Old Aux"
The bed is no where near done yet. But as you can see in this pic, the truck is set at ride height. You can also see there is good clearance with the wheel tire offset/tire width and the narrower 67 rear that there will be NO tire rub.
The plan as of now is a raised wood bed floor that will have some special tricks that will flow with the style of the rest of the truck, should turn out super nice. So stay tuned...... |

Re: Project "Old Aux"
First off ,love the build..
but looking at the picture a few post up.. of the bed,frame and wheels.. can that back drop piece be made with the bag mounts on the inner frame, so you can run a shortend rearend and deep dished rear wheels,, love the wheels, but I like the look of deepdished wheels,, can't tell in that picute how much you could shorten the rearend with that set up and still clear the bags with the brakes.. think you said the wheels are 5.5" backspacing, so maybe with that set up you could run a 3" shorter (per side) rear end and still clear that set up.. and a 2.5" more dish?? |

Re: Project "Old Aux"
I think Nate spoke about this in some other thread. I know most guys want to run a 14" wheel on these trucks but I don't understand why. In my opinion you either have a bagged lowrider or a 4 linked coil over Drag truck with monster meats for that +1200 hp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our goal with this truck was to have a fully functioning lowrider that the wheels/tires don't rub while rolling down the road at super low altitudes. I would PM Nate, he has all the answers on his designs. I attached a pic so you can get a better idea of the clearance. But keep in mind this pic was taken with the 1972 rear end which is .75" wider each side than the current 1967 rear end which is in it now. |

Re: Project "Old Aux"

How much clearance did this setup have between the outside of the wheel and the fender when it was using the wider 69-72 rear end? If you wanted to stick with a 22x10 rim but just squeeze out a bit wider lip by going to the narrower 67-68 diff... how much could you go? I am assuming that the earlier differential buys you 1.5" more room overall so .75" per side. Could you go .5" more lip (5" backspacing by my math) and still end up with an additional .25" more clearance than you were enjoying when you had the wider diff? |
