Look for a thread by Quickrunner, he is currently doing this type of build.

Mini-tubbed, springs in the frame rails, stock width 8.75 with Dr. Diff axles. Wheels are 15x10.25 w/ 7.5 backspacings. 325 drag radial. Back needs to come down 2 inches, but the space is there for it.

Cool thread, giving me some ideas for my Valiant which is mini tubbed to the frame rails. I have room to cut the housing another 1 1/2", I am going with Cal-tracs and assasions.

On my Demon it had a stock width A-body 8 3/4 with the kit that moves the leaf springs in. I was running 28/10.5 W slick on a 10 in rim with stock wheel tubs. Also put the same setup under my 69 Valiant with stock wheel tubs. The rims were 4 7/8 back space.
