I'm running 245/45s, they don't rub anywhere. But i'm running a caprice rearend and 1-1/4" thick adapters, but they didn't rub with the adapters and stock rearend either.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

A couple days late but I was having computer problems...........

I made new holes at 1" and 1.5" back, I didn't even try it at 1" and went straight for 1.5" which is only .5" back from the original location due to everything moving forward 1" when I Zed the frame......




Enough room for the drivers side valve cover even......

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

Sold my sectioned crossmember, going to make another one this week so I can move the uca mount back and the lca forward to gain caster. I am also going to make some motor mount stands to move the engine back another 1-1/2", it'll be 3" back from the axle center line and 2" back from stock.

I also got the doors, column and master cylinder removed, getting closer to starting the rust repair on the cab. Plus raise the trans tunnel and push the engine recess back 2" deeper into the firewall.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

Thanks.
Unfortunately not lately, combination of the 2 months of triple digit temps and a lack of time, money and motivation. But I hope to get started on it again soon.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

Haven't given up, just haven't been motivated nor really had the time to do much. I plan to get started again once it starts to warm up again. I have came up with a couple changes on how i'm doing some stuff, nothing to drastic though.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

I like what you are doing. This is going to sound like a broken record but i'm really digging the wheels. You mention they are Dodge. Are they spare wheels or something? I think i'm going to explore that route. What spacer/adapter did you use? My truck will only be dropped 2.5in in the front and 2in in the rear.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

The wheels are one of the things changing, just working out the details. The adapters are 1-1/4" thick, but I don't know who made them. And the rotors were redrilled to the dodge bolt circle, yeah they're dodge ram spare wheels.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

Still haven't gotten anything done, I have been off work all week but it was raining and cold until wednesday, yesterday being the first nice day since last saturday. Unfortunately I have to get may garage cleaned out and organized in order to get anything done, but i'm feeling the itch to do something again. Hope to have an update within the month.

I'm running spacers on mine, and I got a ton of room all the way around. I'm planning on
a 5/7 drop.

Here is a link for the wheels

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

Ok Thanx. Wasn't sure if the spacers were gna give it enough room in front of that body style truck. What size tires are you running. I like the stance of the truck.
