Thanks, lots of work in it, it was supposed to be a quick "throw together" for something to ride around in while I'm restoring the GTX but I kind of went overboard... . Now it's not fast enough, whodathunkit.

Sits nice

Looks great!!! I`m considering tubbing and big tireing my 92, I really like the look, now that I know an A body 8 3/4 fits under even better, I have a question for you and/or scratchin, how far in did you go with the wheel tubs? to the frame rails? Thanks!

I cut my bed to within a few inches of the frame, wasn't any sense in going any further due to the stock spring location, I left enough to have a flush mounting surface for the S&W steel tubs and then butted the tubs flush against the bed wall. I also left a short flange on the factory tub for support. See below pics. Assembling the tubs was probably the most challenging part of the mod.

I went flush with the floor support that sits on top of the frame.

I used 1 full set of tubs welding them to the 1/2 tubs in the bed.

here is a pic that you can see the floor support and where I cut it. this makes it in past the spring flush with the frame.

I used a shackle flip and floped the A-body 8 3/4 on top of spring with same wheel/tire combo.

IIRC,Max just floped the 8 3/4 on top of the springs and used pre-made wheel tubbs.

***FYI*** the A-body 8 3/4 needs the large brake offset axles with 5 on 4.5 wbp. this make the whole 8 3/4 wider by 1/2" = 1/4" each side. so it tucks the 12" rim with a 4.5 backset on rims running a M/T 29x15x15 tire in the fenders.

if running a skinny 1 3/4" brake A-body axle you need a rim with 4 1/4" BS( best measure tire bulge/leaf spring clearance )

2 different ways well done by both of us I might add.

..."IIRC,Max just floped the 8 3/4 on top of the springs and used pre-made wheel tubbs."...you are correct sir. I tried doing my tubs like yours and couldn't find any that weren't beat to heck...but I tried, still have the scrapped evidence behind my shop

I was glad to see a set like yours done up. pics are worth a thousand words. I want to use a set on my next project and plan to just flop the axle for a low stance like that. (can i just swap fenders/doors/bed to a mid 80s chassis for the body lines?)

kinda like the frontend drops,so much info and more than one way so it can be adjusted for the stance you want.

I cant wait to score a shortbed 4x4 for a 2x gasser truck build.

Thanks Guys Great info! p.s. rear bumper in picture now gone and theres a roll pan in its place.

Nice truck!
