yup

Not really any good ones. This one from when it was a bottle baby, but it's not a great picture

I made them. There nothing but .065 aluminum I bought at a scrap place, Kept dinking with a template till I had it close, then went to a buddy's shop and borrowed his manual brake. Took them out back and sanded them in one direction with 600 grit sandpaper, then lightly with 1000, and shot them with clear. Over the years the poor ol truck has seen so many changes and reconfigurations that there pretty full of holes for mounting ignitions, fuel regulators and what not. I'll get some pictures when I pull the motor it will be a little clearer. But have to trim and fit the motor plate before I pull it, loose the side mounts, etc. Going to have to build my own headers it looks like. So this is going to be a slooooowwww build., to go no quicker than 11.5000001

Hottrucks,, those look to be MT Sportsmans. There a pretty stiff sidewall and depending oh how much the rear weight, 16-20 # might work. The hard compound is good for wear, but gave the WORST traction I ever saw in my truck. I went to a Hoosier Quick time 33x22.50-15 and picked up almost a 1/2 a second to the 60' cone over the Sportsman, ,,, same size and dropped psi to 12 at the track. Then moving to a Hoosier DOT QT Pro gave the best I've seen so far and I run 10.25# in them. All I can suggest is start HIGH and work down. Too low of a psi will cause the center of the tire to 'cup' and hurts traction, not help.

When you are trying to fit 18.5 to 21" wide tire in the back..... I have only 3.5" of backspacing on my wheels. 1.5" clearance on the frame rails and 1" clearance on the outer fender lip. I cant stand the little tire in the HUGE wheel well look!

My axles from Strange are only 28 inchs long each.

Hottrucks · 03-01-2010, 09:22 AM

I was running a stock pbar and the swing was enough to piss me off my new bar goes from the PS outside fram to the outside of the trailiing arm..its like 42" long....My wheels are stock rallies that I had 6" added to the back space with stock front space....I'm waiting for them.... as soon as I get them painted and mount the tires so I can see if this is all going to work....I'm worried about tire hitting inner bed at dump?? my axles are stock..and open...booooo!!

I might put a jack on the frame behind the fuel cell, pull the springs out. Put the truck at ride height, then lower it a few inches with the jack and see how close those tires come to the frame rail. I'd be concerned the when the PH bar is level, you might be touching tire to frame.

You might have already checked the geometry, but if not, better to find out now..

Truck has already been down the road for awhile. I have had the truck down even lower than it is now. I settled on this ride height because of the nice rake it has with the body lines. I do appreciate the concern.

Hottrucks · 03-01-2010, 07:05 PM

hey can anyone tell me how much they tubbed theres I have my bed apart for the fit but I'm looking at where my wheel well will be best I can figure I need about 41" that will put me even with the frame rails..I'm also conserned about the inner skin where it welds to the outside skin...am I going to have issues there??

hey guys I was out working on E brake cable stuff (I need it for inspection) what are you guys doing to get around the large amout of back spacing on the wheels??

I'm thinking of moving the clip that holds the cable on the trailing arm to the frame or futher back on the arm making the cable dive into the trailing arm sooner??
