Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

[Dewey Clines]

Sorry meant "WMS" also forgot to ask who built the gas tank for you? I have the Poterbuilt Deluxe "C" notch mild drop kit with inside air bags that I hope fits as well as your set up. Time will tell or the cutting torch will fix it!

With the stock tubs being around 13" it sure looks like it's more than that in the photos. Was that because you shortened the axle? My stock axles (I have a 373 and a 411 that I want to get rid of - anybody?) that are both 58" from bolt brackets side to side. I have my wheels ordered with 5" back spacing and my rear end at 54". What do you think? Will this combo fit with opening up the tubs or should I call and have the back spacing set at 4".
Thanks for you input.

Wheel Mount Surface = WMS, and yes, shortened the housing/axles. Based on what worked with my set-up, 4" BS would seem appropriate w/mini-tubbing...but you may be measuring rear end width differently than I. I have just enough room between tires/springs/frame/brakes/arms, and body for my specific set-up...I don't think much more could be squeezed in there. Your set-up will be different...hopefully you can glean a bit of info here to make your decisions easier

Sorry Dewey, I missed your question on the gas tank. It was built by Boyd's Welding, I bought it second hand from a member here. Very nicely built tanks...check out the link below VVVV

tack, tack, tack, tack, tack, tack...grind, grind, grind, grind, grind...little bit of primer and a piece of indoor/outdoor and we're good to go for a bit!

Still haven't wired in the NOS switches Don't know why not...it'll take all of 1/2 hr...gonna try to get that done this weekend.

Man if someone didn't know better (lots of people) the tubs look all but stock, nice work.
