Do the wheels fill the big rear tubs you used?

Is the extra space in the inside or outside of the wheel tubs? I'm just wondering what size of tubs I'll need and if I'll have to go with less back spacing on the rear wheels.

Thanks,

Ron

To the inside ,the outside is maxed out and also to the top (height) that way I have room to fit anything I want.

Thumbs up Re: Locomotive Lugnut

Love this build! Just rescued a 58 fleetside short bed BBW from a field and have been looking into the porterbuilt drop members. I never thought I would own such a classic and rare of a combo truck. I've always thought that they are incredible when set up right but my attention has always been on 64 and up. Needless to say, I'm enjoying the detail you give in your posts while I compile my bill of material. Rock on!

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.
