    Here is a pic of the LH rear wheel and tire. Hopefully it fits because I'm stuck with it unless I change wheels. They only offer 2 off sets. This should work. (i'll make it work)

    Here is the 39 I robbed the headliner side retainers from. This poor car was so rotten.... My youngest had fun in it trying to get the key out of the steering column. We both did not win that battle.

    What size wheels & tires did you end up with?

    Randy, front tires are 205/65R15 I think. On 15x7 wheels. Rear tires are 255/50R17 on 17x9 wheels. Rear tire fit in the fender well during mock up. We'll see how the 8.8 plays into it. It is a little wider than my 9" which should give me the room I need to accommodate these wheels off set.

    I had every intention of finishing the steering arm swap on the 72 this morning. But my wife has been repainting our bathroom lately. So that means that the wall behind the toilet needed put back together. Someone never put the trim and stuff back on after they tore it apart finding that pesky water leak a while ago. Who was that guy? Well, I almost have that project done. I do have Friday off and I'm going to put the phone up high by the radio and work on the 40. Haha
