I starting a new thread on my 37 Plymouth pickup and its transformation from marginally driveable with a 289/C4 to a 6.4 Hemi/545RFE/4.10 Dana 60 monster.
Today I dropped it off for getting a 4 inch mini-tubs in the bed so the bed is even with the frame rails so I can fit these 295/50/15s on 10 inch wheels under the truck. The next step will be to order a narrowed Dana 60 with 4.10 gears so we can do the 4 link rear.

Those tires are going to look great under there. "........4 inch mini-tubs in the bed so the bed is even with the frame rails so I can fit these 295/50/15s on 10 inch wheels under the truck....." Yeah , I had to go look under the back end of mine. That would be a fairly easy job to pick up a bunch of tire clearance. Those brakes should be plenty for the truck.

Looks like it will be awesome. Tires & brakes look perfect and swapping out the old Ford 289 for a 6.4 Hemi is a big plus! Good luck with the build.

Milke, I don't think you can find a much easier vehicle to mini tub

Regarding the rear brakes, let whom ever is building your Dana know what brakes you wan to run so they can use the correct housing ends and axle offsets.
As for how they work, well got a 98 Exploder with those brakes and they seem to work fine.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Definately will let the rear end builder know, I need just a bare housing with axles to do the 4 link, then I will have it all powdercoated before it gets gears
