Could you please tell me the width and back spacing of the wheels? I have the same suspension and want to run 18x11 with 315 front and rear.

Thanks!

Re: The Old Duffer

Cant remember the back spacing but 315's won't work up front on the ridetech front suspension. they'll scrub the sway bars. I've got 295's up front and thats as far as we could go. I'm running 345's out back.

Yep, I already cut my sway bar brackets off the lower arm. I'm running a splined bar up front so it will clear. I have a 315 on there now with 5.25" backspacing that's off of my Camaro. My front wheels will have a ton more lip which made me ask you what you were running.
Checked your truck out at LS Fest, really like what you've done with it

Re: The Old Duffer

Gotcha! my front wheels are 19x10 with 5.5 backspace, and the rears are 19x12 with 4.5 backspace. Yeah I know Brian Finch built a 66 C10 that runs 335's all the way around. it'd be nice to be able to rotate em. He used the Detroit speed setup.

Re: The Old Duffer

Got a couple shots when we rolled it outside for the first time in many months. The ass end will be dropped a few more inches. but overall I am loving the stance.

Re: The Old Duffer

Checkout the Kindig-it door handles. I love these things. Now it's a continuous uninterrupted line from one end of the truck to the other.

Re: The Old Duffer

Hey I'm curious....the front fenders, they appear to be aftermarket replacements, yes??

If so, who'd you buy them from and how well did they fit??

I'm thinking I'm gonna try some from AMD rather do the patch panel routine on my '62 SWB.

Yeah man they are LMC and I'm not exaggerating they fit better than the original panels. Gaps are near perfect.

Think I found my mirrors. Brushed aluminum is a part of the theme.
