Rims mounted with tires, appears I need some spacers to get the rears alittle closer to wheel well lip.

Might lower the front a bit, the back is raised up a bit with the bags. Onky issue would be the bottom of the header might scrape on sharpe inclines. Anybody know of a good shorty big block header for our trucks?

Re: Shaggy's Shorty

Im going to get a parts truck tonight

Re: Shaggy's Shorty
 

What backspacing did you get? and im assuming that caused you to get wheel spacers?... im looking to order those rims here shortly... what size are your rims?

Re: Shaggy's Shorty
 

The 20" 338's only come with one choice of backspacing.
They were originally designed to fit the 88-98 trucks.

Re: Shaggy's Shorty
 

so that means ill need wheel spacers also since im getting the 20's?
and where can i get these wheel spacers at?

Re: Shaggy's Shorty
 

Check out post #10


There are quite a few threads on these wheels.

Re: Shaggy's Shorty
 

well i guess i am young def and blind cause i missed post 10 :/

Re: Shaggy's Shorty
 

The parts truck I went to get yesterday. Has NEW poly cab and radiator mounts, fenders, fender wells, doors. A texas or arizona box and cab. Not much as far as rust!

I will be listing the transfer case and trans, two front driveshafts, frame, 3in lift w/bolts in the for sale section soon as I get the rest of the body off.
