1979 ton ????

Do you guys know of any way to narrow up the front of a c30 just a little.

I have a set of wheels that I want to use and I m going to be a little too wide to tuck these into the fenders. Already have dropped spindles which Im told are a little narrower, but I still need more. A-Arms??

Section your A-arms. It's not something I would want to do, but that's the only way I know of.

Re: 1979 ton ????

Is there any difference in width of the 67 -72 stuff, and has anybody ever gone back to the early years?

I think I may have to look for a pair of narrower rims, or just live with the 20's that are on it. I really do like the 18's I have, but I doubt I can find a nice set of 8.5" boyds.

What info are you going to need to get the actual dimensions of the A arms. Im hoping to get full turning radius, BUT I may be asking for alot with the size of rim that I have.

I will PM you my number so you can call me when you have a second.
Thanks Nathan.
