I saw you posted in your Backspacing thread:

Did you get what you needed?
I got stuck at work today & tomorrow and won't be able to pull my rim off till sunday. Unless you don't need it anymore?

Thanks

Allen,

Do you have any more pics? My 69 is un cut, and I just assumed that I'd be cutting the rears, but I sure do like to the look of your truck. I'd like to see it from the side, and maybe some pics of the rear suspension.

Real nice,

Galen

I measured one of the stock, 5.5" wide Ford steel wheels that was in the
back of my rig when I bought it. The backspacing is 3 5/8".

Thanks, I've been happy with the decision not to cut, the 1/4's were about the only thing I didn't have to replace, rust...

3.75" Backspace (if you measure from the bolt plate to the outer most edge of the rim)

Allen,

Once again, that's very nice. I've always like the look of "more lift than you need", and you have got that, indeed. Very clean and classic, yet modified and capiable.

I might have to rethink cutting mine.

i said this a few months ago, i saw a bronco in denver that had the rear uncut fenders flared out (kind of like glass baja fenders, but steel) to clear 33x12.50's on 10" rims and it looked awesome! just roll the fender out so it sticks out farther.

the paint might chip a little, yes. i had to roll the fenders on a ranchero not too long ago and the paint chipped a litle under the lip, but if it was prepped properly then it shouldn't go too far, SHOULDN'T. do you have fresh paint on your rig?
