I was thinking of going with Cragar SS myself. I was thinking of going 8's on the front and 10's on the back. Do I have to get wheels with no backspacing to clear the inner fenderwell on the back? {I realize I will probably stick out of the fenderwell on the outside}
BTW what series tires are those? They look like 50 series, but I can't tell.

10" Cragar's should fit right in there with out any problem. but do yourself a favor and measure your backspacing before taking my word for it. From what i know about my truck its not even susposed to have that rear end in it (factory screw up) <---at least according to 3 different dealers. Anyway take a rim off the back, put a straight edge on the axle end and measure to your inner wheel well/box floor seem. (should be the first thing your tire should rub in there) then you can get your back spacing. I'm guessing 3 or 4 inchs? maybe you can post your results so we'll all have an idea.
Yah my tires on the back are 295/50/15's
Hope that help alittle... Chris

Thanks Chris, I just picked up a couple of nice BFG T/A 295 50 R-15's for $100, so now I just have to fork over about $600 [man I wish I could find some cheaper] for the Cragars and another $200 for matching front tires. :\' You said your back 8's are deep dish, so do my 10's on the back need to be deep dish? This backspacing and reverse backspacing crap is confusing the hell out of me. BTW, that truck doesn't look like it has a front swaybar. That makes a huge cornering difference on mine!

Nice looking long bed dude and I love the hood!! As far as the cragers, they're a style thats well over 30yrs old and still popular, but the only thing I don't like is they come only in uni-lug (brand new) and one rim costs as much as 4 did back in the early to mid 80s... I just sold a set of ET's for a 2wd Dodge/Ferd that resembled the old skool American Racing Indys... Wish I had a rwd or 2wd mopar car/truck I coulda used em on that.... But still, nice lookin ride bro!!
