Re: Smaller/thinner rear brake drum? Deep rear steelies won't fit!

Maybe wheels that fit are the best option.
This is the best answer.

Here's why I'm pushing on this so hard: the PO purchased these custom wheels at tremendous cost based on his research with Squarebody Syndicate. According to him, the cost of the wheels and tires were right at $2200 for the set. He never got to use them, as he ran short on time trying to address this rear-wheel fitment issue...and when I picked up the truck, he just handed them to me, explaining what he had already run into.

SO - different wheels may be the only answer - but gosh, I'd sure love to see these bad boys on the truck. I'm hoping that I can figure it out without throwing the bathwater out with the baby....or something like that!
