the front is 68 thru 72 but someone did a spindle and disk brake kit with 1/2 ton coils cut 2 turns and removed bumpstops and bracket. rear is a 1996 chevy caprice rearend so its 4 wheel disc brake , with a step notch

chopper john · 11-16-2009, 10:48 PM

the rear fendes will sit on the floor when im done

**scotts62** · 11-16-2009, 10:57 PM

If you plan on leaving 15's they will.

chopper john · 11-16-2009, 11:19 PM

yea im gonna run some 15 inch reverse cragars on 205/70/15 , right now i have 205/75/15s

**scotts62** · 11-16-2009, 11:21 PM

That's cool, it will look good. Mine touches if i lift the front and leave the back slammed but the 20's to the bottom of the fenders keep it from going any farther.

chopper john · 11-16-2009, 11:56 PM

chopper john · 01-27-2010, 02:49 AM

check out my steering wheel i just picked up. its a 1961 chevy impala, the clicker for the turn signals is in the same place, and the horn meckanizm fit perfect, so even the horn works.

markeb01 · 01-27-2010, 12:53 PM

Nice addition. Those are right up there with the 58/60 Impala wheel in the cool factor. It really fits with the styling of the dash.

That's cool man. I was out at a wrecking yard Saturday...muddy as hell though.
I have to go back. I was like a kid in Disneyland. Wrecking yards in Dallas suck...gotta go out of the city to find anything I need.
I found some things I want to get...Impala steering wheel is on top my list.
