Re: Tubbed Info
I also have a 65 fleet and now I'm running a 68 rearend and a 15x10 wheel and actually have 2 inces I could go deeper. I had to cut the entire lip off the inner edge of the fenders,and I need to extend the wheel wells but thats for a later date. If you are wanting a full tub you need to narrow the rear frame and rearend.

Re: Tubbed Info
mine is a stock housing, i widened the wheel wells to the frame and installed 15 x 12 wheels with a 7.5 back space. i had them made at stocken wheel about 6 years ago, then i run 15 x 7 in front. the tires i originally ran where 29 x 15.5 x 15, they fit pefect with room to spare.
 my 1966 LWB
