I recently picked up a 1981 Dodge stepside pickup.
I have no desire to leave it as it is.

I was thinking of a 15x10 rear with 5.5" backspace and a 325/50/15..... but has anybody tubbed one? The gas tank in the way of moving the springs inside the frame the only obstacle I can see....

Any tubbed stepsides here? Dragula??

Here's my 76. I used a 68 b-body rear end and ladder bars,the second pic is with a 14.50 tire

Looks great. I noticed the filler neck and am curious what gas tank you have?

Thanks.

ram charger tank.

Thanks MoParlulu. Looks great!

Still collecting parts.....

Any other progress?

Nothing worth mentioning.... lol
I did redo all the window winding mechanisms and put Alpine type R 6x9 speakers in the doors, then put the newer door panels on.
I'm collecting parts like crazy, I want a small block truck with some snort....

Looks Nice!

There is a Ramcharger Gas Tank for sale in Bothell, WA in case you are interested. I am going to Kenmore, WA for T-Day and I could look at it for you.

Look at the photo, that is a Ram Truck tank, not a RamCharger tank.
I have a 1983 RamCharger fuel tank that is fitted with an -6AN fuel fitting connected to a 3/8" pickup. Send me a PM if interested. I'll sell it cheap, just not sure how to ship it?

I had one.....

I used the 68 A-body 8 3/4 with a shackle/axle flip/flop tucking in 12x15 rims with a 29x15x15 M/T on my 88-440 truck.

A-body and truck share the same 43" perch centers on the leafs. was a bolt up deal after removing the rear shackle mount and replacing it with a front spring mount to flip shackle. axle bolt right on top of spring with A-body u-bolts/shock plates. I used truck shocks.

gives a nice drag stance, good ride/handling, still haul a 440/trans in the rear with no axle/frame contact.

I have a e-body 8 3/4 I going to use on my next truck.

you can fit a 10x15 rim with M/T 29x15x15 on a stock width truck/c-body housing with 7" backspace on rim and tub work.

the A-body 8 3/4 used a 12x15 with 4.5 backset

if I measured correctly the e-body 8 3/4 will allow 10x15 with a 5" BS

I also used a 70 mustang gas tank mounted in the rear frame rails 125$ fuel gauge works and 3/8 pick up tube.

LMK if you want some pics.

Scratchinfortraction, please share the pics!

I have my 57 Dodge with a little 512 RB. I guess it qualifies as pro street.

Not a step-side, but went the pro-street route with M/T's and Mustang tank as Scratchin' mentioned...

Mopar Sam here you go.

rattler, little 512RB LOL. that is a killer green 57 stepside for sure. we need a pic to remind us just how green it is.

70Duster440, hats off to your father/son project. well done!

I cut a long bed down for the tubs and to replace the floor in a short box. after I flip flopped the A-body 8 3/4 in.
