Re: Explorer rear's, What did you use for wheel size/backspace? Pictures of your truc

With a 50 inch inside width plus the thickness of the sheet metal so lets say 50.25 for a tiny bit of clearance and a 59.5 axle width you are looking at an honest 4 inches of clearance between WMS to WMS and the outside of the bed. I say honest because we all know that not all Chevy truck beds are made the same. Simply meaning that you have four inches of space from the mounting surface on the wheel until the sidewall of the tire hits the bed side.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
