Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Chris -- How wide is your rear axle housing ? How much did you have to add to the inner bed wheel tubs? Thanks.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
20x12, 4" BS 31x16.. correct? Factory frame rail location I guess? Did you just flush up the inner edge of the wheel tubs to the outer face of the edge of the frame rail?
Thanks man. Your truck is incredible.

No I didn't just flush it up with frame edge . Just made them wide enough to fit the tires nicely inside .

It's ONLY a 10.5 hour drive each way. Google says it's only 2HR 5 MIN to fly though.
