68 plymouth, I moved my rear axle.

What new springs did you install?
When I installed MP springs on my 69 GTX I needed the 1" extended front hanger.
+3'' springs made for the car, company called McVeigh's Truck Springs, they are based out of Mio Michigan since 1973. I'm building on a budget however I am very impressed with the quality. Their ebay store is (springking0001) with 9k items sold at 100% positive. I am happy with the product, and it cost $430.74 shipped to my door. (Disclaimer - I don't work for them)
 
I am a fan of the old school look..... so cool! Nostalgia is fun.

One of my cars is built to old school standards, however I re-arched the springs to get it done. For shocks I have just added extenders at the lower shock plates. Pinion angles were easily set with inexpensive shims. It's the car I drive the most. As a bonus, with the T-bars cranked and the arched springs no jacking needed to change the oil :thumbsup:
 
68-70 B Bodies never liked 10" wide wheels. 8's look goo

You read that part with I ordered new springs? Dose this look "gutted" to you? Asking for a friend.View attachment 1384704View attachment 1384705

Oh no, not aftermarket seats...
they look great!
Where did you get?
 
These are 11" wide on the outside, 10" between the beads.

They fit inside the quarter panels and don't rub.
Charger's don't count. I should have mentioned that. Road Runners and Super Bee's seem more picky with rear wheel width. May be 10's with a perfect offset.
 
Like to see that look.....liked it a lot back in the day because I knew my junk could probably out run them and usually did :D lol I'm not going to condemn you for it because it's your car to do what you please. Generally, the 'stink bug' look ruined off the line traction and that was all I needed to hole shot someone but did get surprised by more than a couple. I'm sure you already know about how one handles being high off the ground with a big rake angle since you build 4x4 stuff....

An easy assumption to make when your original posts have no interior photos, and the exterior ones you provide show no rear bumper, no hood, no engine...

That’s exactly why I made the “gutted” comment in an earlier reply. Sorry if you were offended dana44, that certainly wasn’t my intention…

Thank you, it was a fair assumption I should have expected, since I painted it to look ratty. I'll have to take more time explaining what I was doing on the threads like kern dog pointed out.
