Re: Shaggy's Shorty
Rims mounted with tires, appears I need some spacers to get the rears alittle closer to wheel well lip.
 Might lower the front a bit, the back is raised up a bit with the bags. Onky issue would be the bottom of the header might scrape on sharpe inclines. Anybody know of a good shorty big block header for our trucks? |

Re: Shaggy's Shorty
What backspacing did you get? and im assuming that caused you to get wheel spacers?... im looking to order those rims here shortly... what size are your rims?

Re: Shaggy's Shorty
The 20" 338's only come with one choice of backspacing.
They were originally designed to fit the 88-98 trucks.

Re: Shaggy's Shorty
The parts truck I went to get yesterday. Has NEW poly cab and radiator mounts, fenders, fender wells, doors. A texas or arizona box and cab. Not much as far as rust!
I will be listing the transfer case and trans, two front driveshafts, frame, 3in lift w/bolts in the for sale section soon as I get the rest of the body off.
