So rear I'm thinking of like 315's or wider.

Fronts, yeah, appropriate sized wheels/tires will probably be my next move now that I understand I only get .5" at most each side with the modular drop spindles...

No, you worded it correctly & I understood what you meant. What I meant was w/the current rear tire 'size' on 10" wheels, a mini-tub wasn't needed. In my head, that tub money that can go toward wheels in the same diameter but w/better spacing. If your plan all along was to replace the rear tubs, then getting the wider units is cost effective.

I will caution on the super wide tires for a DD truck build: Fat tires, decent power, & light weight over the rear end easily get squirrely when it gets wet.

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.
