1973-1974 Roadrunner & GTX and Satellite Pic Thread

just an update, I done a bit more body work-n-painted it a few days ago :)

It has been so long since I've looked at this thread. I need to catch up! Great look Runners!
 
I didn't tub it at all. All i did was move the springs in with the offset spring hangers. put an "A" body rear end in it (relocated the perches) and that was it. The tires are about 11 1/4" wide, 30" tall, the rime is 10".
the car is also lowered a couple of inches.

If you don't mind, What back spacing? 5 or 5.5? Drums in back or disc? I was going to step up to a 10 inch rim (have 8inch with 4.5 now) with ladder bar coil over conversion and run 315/60R15s very similar tire and width to yours. About to order a S60 Strange rear end and was debating getting the A body rear, and don't want to Mini tub if I dont have too.

Gulfport MS. nice car Katrina didnt get that one. What size tires are you running? My Satellite was the same color with red top.
 
I got it from a guy in Hattiesburg after Katrina. Not sure of tire size I think its 225/70-14 cars at sons house putting motor back in. I had one just like yours back in the day. Drove it every day for years.
