Well its was 6 years ago; I forget stuff from last week Some good looking e-bodies out there! Gives me food for thought. I'm still trying to get mine mobyle. But in the end, I will probably see what I can stuff in the stock wheel wells for now. Maybe move the springs, but if I go that far I will plan them for future tubs. Just too much other work to do before tubs. Besides the usual quarter panel rust, I suffered so hail damage while it was sitting in the driveway last summer. Not real bad but too bad to not fix

Complete bolt in deal, no cutting or welding. With the correct backspacing this will get you a 15"x10" wheel under the car and a good size tire. I'm shooting for a 325/50-15 drag radial. I think it is 1 1/2" per side narrower at the spring perch, or 3 inches total width with '68-'69 B-body rear ends. I have 15" x 10" steelies & Dog Dishes with Nitto 325 50-15 Drag radials, and they fit into the wheel well. That's as big as I can go though. Not cutting or tubing. I'm also running a pair of passenger side 2800 lbs A-body Super Stock springs with AFCO double adjustable's. Best rear suspension set-up I ever had in the car, and I have tried at least a half a dozen different springs including mono-leafs and Caltracs. It's 99+% street only though. It rides and launches like a dream for the first time ever. This was at Dr. Diff's recommendation. I love them! 8282696-IMG_7561(Large).JPG (127 downloads) Last edited by jbc426; 09/27/14 04:33 PM. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)
