Nice build. What wheels and tires are you using on the back

 

Thanks!
The wheels and tires I'm using on the street are on it in all the pictures. Just stock chrome wheels. For the dragway I have Nitto 555 Drag Radials. They are on 10 inch wide steelies. Drag racing is very new to me... Anyone have good luck with these nittos?

 

Is the rear end narrowed at all? With the fourlink on the inside of the frame and the stock tank out of the way you should be able to fit a good sized wheel and tire under there. I am planning on doing a similar setup on the back of my truck.

 

The rear end is the stock width. I had it made to the same dimensions as the stock 10 bolt so I could use stock wheels for a stock look for the street. You are right... with the stock springs gone and the 4 link inboard of the frame I have loads of space for tire. The only thing limiting me now is the wheel wells. The drag radials I'm using are 325 50 15s and measure about 13 inches wide. They stick out of the wheel well just a touch. When I get it all together after paint, I will put up a picture with the drags tires out back.

 

Looks good? how are you running chevy rims on the ford 9?

 

Yeah weird huh? Its a custom built axle. Axles are drilled for the chevy 5 on 5 2wd bolt pattern.

 

What brake drums and backing plates is it using?

 

The rear brakes are a disc brake kit from Ford Racing.

The rotors in the kit come drilled with a 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern. I drilled the 5 on 5" pattern in between the 5 on 4.5.

 

I worked out the dents, filled the low spots and shot them with primer... Paint is next. I still have the bed, hood and tailgate to strip, straighten and paint. Its a lot of work, but its worth it!

 

nice truck man
