I'm doing some big meats on the back of my '64 and want to get an idea of how wide I can actually go within my bedsides.

The tires are Mickey Thompson 29x15.50-15LT Tube Type.
Any wider and I will have to start cutting.
Now remember that the Frames are different from a '62 and a '64.
Is yours a stepside or a Fleeters?
