It's not like the 5" backspace wheels have 1/2" more dish on the front side, because they don't.
They cast them all as 5" backspace, and then mill the extra thick hub for the 5.5" BS orders.
Pure BS (not backspace) in my opinion.
What do you do now?
Break down the tires and ship the wheels back?
I would make them send a UPS "pick ticket" and send you out another set, with tires.
That's what I thought when I talked to him. He was just trying to make the sell and hoping they would fit or I would do spacers. If they don't send me 2 correct wheels and tires, I will return all 4 and go elsewhere for something else... If the pad is the only difference, it seems like the wheel studs would be to short on the unmilled 5" BS...???

I believe the lugnut bore on the front side is deeper.

Are you talking about the rubber mount or the tranny crossmember?

Thanks.... I actually used the th400 mount it fit perfect and then I didnt have to change the crossmember. Now im just fighting the fuel lines etc... then the wiring nightmare begins. I need a battery relocation box to put the battery on the drivers side any body found a good one?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)

The first few pictures show how I brought the air through the front crossmember to the front bags. I used two 90 degree fittings and a bulkhead fitting to make it all happen. It's a good thing I had to change the fittings to 3/8" because the way I had it set up with 1/4" lines wasn't going to work. That's what happens when you get impatient..... The second set of pictures show the bracket I made to hold the Accuair "brain" and manifold. It's not "Rockcrwln-esque" but it's functional, .

Has anyone had any problems getting parts from C.P.P. ? I have been waiting almost a month for my spindles and booster. They just told me another 2-weeks. Is there a better supplier that I can get 8-lug disc spindles etc... from?

Someone makes a reproduction auxillary battery box, but I can't remember who it is. Sometimes you can find them on the board for sale.

No clue.

****

I finally have it back on all 4's. I have the CPP 13" disc brakes and spindles mounted. All I have left to do is connect the front brake lines and hook up the master cylinder. I also have the air bag stuff is reconnected. All I have left to do is mount all the level sensors and then I should be able to give the AccuAir system a test run. Here's a few pictures. There not the greatest. As soon as the weather clears up I'll roll it out of the garage and take some better ones.

The burb looks great. You should be cruisin in it again this summer. Still can't get over the change from the green machine I used to see at Whiting. May have missed it but did you get your rear wheels straightened out?

I hope your right, at least thats the plan. Yeah big change but my daughter still calls it the "booger", . I'm waiting on the new wheels....

Well after looking at this site, http://www.streettrucksmag.com/tech/...air-management, I think I've about got the AccuAir level sensor mounting figured out.
