Re: Rear wheel / tire size recommendation

I also have the stock 9" rear with a Ford posi .370 - but dimensionally it is the original size. Thanks for this. Leeroy, do you have any pics? I have cragar s/s all around now, so this would be a good solution just having to buy 2 wheels.

Rear wheel / tire size recommendation

I want to upgrade my wheels and tires on my 65 Shortbed. What is the biggest wheel and tire combo i can get to fit under there without tubbing the thing. I want to go to a larger diameter wheel like a 17". What wheel offset would you recommend?

The 4.6 / 5 speed idea

Lots of guys seem to be settling for a bow tie motor in these trucks. I saw a couple done with them this year at car shows.

Thanks Charlie - good feedback. Does anyone have a OD tranny recommendation to fit the 65 that bolts up to a 390? And you're right, at 55 it turns about 2600 RPM - which would be ok if i can isolate the vibration issue. Is it possible the flywheel is out of balance? Could the toploader be causing th...
