Is that a standard 4" backspace on the 15X7??

Thanks
I don't remember, I think it might be 3.5" but I'll check...

So I've made a little progress. I spent yesterday afternoon building a cab dolly and working on the rear end. I set the pinion angle and tacked the saddles to the axle tubes. Today I'll finish welding and then replace the axle seals and brake parts then stuff the rear end back in for good. Then it's on to brake and air lines. Next time I think I'll get help lifting the rear end off that cart...she's a manmaker.

Speaking of the cart, it's my welding table project, just missing the top plate and paint. I used thick 3x3 angle for the frame, it has a bottom shelf and side shelf for the welder. I want to find a tool box or drawers too. The top is going to be 24"x48"x3/8" plate and I have a nice vise to add. Can't wait to get it done but for now it's doing a great job keeping that 10 bolt off the floor.
