I recently posted some pics of the 9" axle and wheels I purchased, i dont have an outside shot because It was dark by the time we got everything put back together.
thats a 32" tire on the rear and it still lays frame.

thats a pretty sweet looking setup. How much lift do you get?
I was thinking of doing something like that on my 67.

How long is the rear end?

fast67chevy2002 · 07-11-2003, 11:20 AM

what size of rims are you running on that, those look good.

When you get the bed on, I don't think those 4 x 8 sheets of plywood at the home store will simply slide in anymore.

You got any other pics of the Arm set up you did? I was think about doing my notch the same. I like what you have done! I want to mount my bags a few inches closer to the cab. I like how you set up the shocks.

Thanks for the kind words, just got in here are some pics taken in the daylight that might clear up some of the questions above. The axle is 60" wide with a 20x10 wheel, 5.00" of backspacing, and a 305-50-20 tire, the panard rod is the stock unit uncut....you know.....dont want to reduce the value by modifying the truck too much.
