ECE front disk brake/drop kit = wider front end! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

short-t · 03-30-2009, 12:26 AM

Had a buddy over the other night after installing the ECE disk brakes / drop spindles on my 68 C10. He was looking at it and said the front looks wider than the back. So I get out the tape measure and check the front and back width. The front is now about 3.5” wider than the back! So after doing a search I found this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ighlight=width

The only thing I can see doing now is changing the wheels and the offset to get them the same? I was really hoping to reuse the 6 lug wheels that I have, didn’t budget for a new set of wheels, tires, and axels. (5lug)

Does anyone have any suggestions for me??
