Would love to ask some Q's...

Jack, I can't wait to see this truck of yours. Seems like it might have been easier to start from scratch LOL.FSTJACK said:Doesn't matter.
The lugs on the stock 5 on 5.5" run into the brake parts, with smaller sized brakes, I had to change the bolt patern On the wheels. The wheel lugs run into clearance problems with the brakes on the stock 5 on5.5" pattern. And that is everybodys brake that we could look at including all after market brakes. The smallest pattern you can run is 5 on 5" with brakes small enough to allow a 15" rim. I went with a dual pattern 5 on 4.5" and 5 on 4 3/4". That way I can use most Ford and Chevy rims. To get the stock tire back on I had the rear end narrowed while the ends were being installed, and then ran an adapter that I had custom made in LA. I am having Bogart make my race wheels and we will just change the back spacing to get the wheel into the correct position with the narrowed rear end. The rear end was narrowed 3", 1.5" per side. I had 40 spline axles made so this was the logical thing to do. I am not a real great fan of adapters but the ones I had made look up to the job. I have a set of 18" wheels Bogart made me for the front. Bogart can match the center design in a street or race wheel. And I can use or have any wheel made that has a chevy or ford pattern. There is no part of this set up that is easy to deal with. It is just like every other part of the truck, it will fight you all the way.
