Re: '67 Stepper "Laymond"

Spent a little bit of time last night stripping the cab of odds and ends. I also took a look at the stepside fenders and there appears to be a decent size lip that can either be ground down or rolled.

I was looking at a buddy's truck over the weekend with the same wheels but with a 295 rear tire. There appears to be about 1/2" between the sidewall and fender lip. Judging by Nitto's website there is about a 3/4" width difference (I actually thought they would be wider) between a 295 and 315. So basic math and the fact I can get a little more clearance on the fender lip I should be good with 71-72 rearend.

Now I'm still waiting on my wheels to come in.
