Huh? Why (or how) is it "too narrow"?

67Fleet · 12-21-2009, 11:53 PM

I thought narrow was better, that means more room for a deep dish rear wheel set!

That's what I was thinking too.

**67cheby** · 12-22-2009, 10:32 AM

i am not getting rid of the one i am taking out just in case i ever have the money to buy some custom made billet wheels !! i am not to keen on spacers, i think my rear wheels set in to far without them , and my disc brake brackets rub on the insides of my rear inner fenders (if i understand correctly the 67-68 rearend is about 1-2 inches narrorer)

SCOTI · 12-22-2009, 10:45 AM

Yes, 6x-early 70 housings are about 1.5" shorter vs. mid-70 & later.

**67cheby** · 12-22-2009, 01:36 PM

it is cpp rear disc conversion.. thanks

**67cheby** · 12-23-2009, 10:21 AM

got my 255-40-20s on the front still havent cut out the inside of my fenders to set the front down, waiting to get the rearend welded in

VA72C10 · 12-23-2009, 11:04 AM

**67cheby** · 01-04-2010, 10:30 AM

0331grunt · 01-04-2010, 11:25 AM
