GM A body narrowed rear
I am building a 64 Olds F-85 wagon, I have done a SSBC disc brake conversion with a 2" dropped spindle and a poly front end rebuild, and a IDIDIT column,I am thinking about a tubbed rear the car will not see any strip time but I just want the look and don't want to spend big bucks any Ideas? Any input of what the biggest meat and wheel size I can hang under this with a stock rearend, I have 65 442 rear control arms and sway bar, I can do most of the fab work myself with the exception of narrowing, can you Chevelle guys give me any real life experience?

kenny, knowing the offset on those wheels might be useful info too.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
