Re: 1967 step side build!

If you use a too narrow tire for the 10.5" rim you might be OK. I have 275 55 17 on the back of my 69 shorts step. 17x9 zero offset with the later 71-72 5 lug axle swapped in. My truck is leaf spring and flipped for 7" drop. I have about a thumb widths clearance to the inside of the bed and a finger on the outside. No rubbing but it's close.
