Ok all you art deco hot rodders. What wheel and tire width/size are you running and are you using the stock fenders or the 2 inch wider fiberglass fenders.

I have a 1940 1/2 ton with 19551st series rear end. My dimensions show the width of the box is 48 1/2 inches and the width of the fenders is 72 inches. Take out the fender lip and divide by 2 (2 sides of the truck) that leaves some where around 11 inches of fender to stuff tires under.

My rear end is 61 inches drum to drum. That gives me about 5 inches from the brake drum to the fender lip and about 6 inches from the bed side to the drum.

I'm taking any and all advice on back spacing and wheel widths.

Thanks,

Bill Schickling
