I'm gonna swap the fronts and the backs today if I get a chance like Fred suggested, that should nail it down, I was thinking of doing that the other day but didn’t have time. Got no other tires right now, I think I'm gonna break down and spring for a couple of tubeless rims. If I remember correctly they wanted around $150 to make up a wheel with zero offset. Another concern is with clearance of the rear hubs. The '72 Chevy rim that I have is to shallow and the hub caps are about 3/8" shy of touching the wheel center when it's installed. I’m afraid I’ll have the same problem even with custom made wheels. The ideal solution would be to use the center out of an original split rim and have a late model rim mounted to it but I had one hell of a time finding split rims last winter. I ended up buying four from a guy and only one was good enough to mount a tire on. Ya get most of them apart and find the rim is all rotted away around where the stem opening traps water. My rims are real nice, no rust and they aren’t beat up to badly. I want to keep a set of bias plies mounted up on them just in case I ever get it to the point of showing it.
I might try the drive shaft as a last resort Dave, but like I said, with it up on the jack stands at 45mph indicated, there was no shake-em-up. Denny Graham Sandwich, IL
