Well, you certainly won't need tubs with a 61" rear!!!! Must be from a sedan.
"Typical" rear width, flange to flange, on a "normal" '32 rod is around 56" (+- 1/2"), with wheels that have around a 3 1/2" backspace. Figures need to be somewhat flexible because of differences in body configuration. You should probably set up the body and frame, then determine what axle width/wheel combination will fit best. Jag rears are narrowed with regularity, so it's not a deal killer to get the 61" unit. And if you have to tub the body to get the wheel/tire combo you want, you'll need to "pinch" the rear rails too since they fit right up to the back of the wheel well.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.
