Re: fat man front end

oh no ... I'm not doubting that ... I thought he wanted to see pics of the front-end itself ... not the truck that it's in.

Re: fat man front end

yeah, they have pictures of the actual front end on their web site. Thats why I assumed he wanted a picture of a truck with one installed so that he could see the amount of drop.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: fat man front end

Thanks, Is there any way to find out what backspacing his wheels have and what size tires hes using. I have fatman Ifs on my 72 blazer and Im finally getting it together. Its amazing how fast you can dump $30,000 into a Blazer that was already nice before I started redoing it. His rig sits great for a static drop, I wonder if he has any tire rub issues. Anyway thanks for any info you can send my way.

Re: fat man front end

Topfuelflat you might want to get one of these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PHP-01201 it will let you test fit any rim and tire sire you could want with out using a real rim and tire.It does rim height width back spacing and has a wire on top you adjust for the tire size.
