I am wondering what your outside hub to hub width was on the rear end, also what your tire size and rim width was and how it all fit within the Chevy fender wells. I really like the 9" rear end with the stock disc brakes. But I'm trying to figure out what width to look for. My stock Chevy rear end is 61" hub to hub. I don't have my final tires and rims yet, Thanks for any help! David | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 |

I have 15x8 american torque thrust IIs in front and back with plenty of clearance. Good luck. Oh yeah mines a 57 also. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 6 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 6 | Dave, this link takes you to a collection of articles regarding IFS and rear end conversions. The 4th paragraph down tells of a guy that put one in a '56 Chevy Truck. Good luck. http://www.chevytrucks.org/tech/ifs&rearend.htm | | |
