Hello, my 49 Chevy is sitting on a 79 el camino frame. I recently got new tires and rims and when I install them they are touching on the frame I then install spacers and they touch the outside of the fenders. I am going to replace the springs does anybody know from which truck they would fit. Thinking maybe s10 or so. Thank u guys in advance

Try posting in the HiPO area. More folks there with experience with what you are doing. My best guess? You have tires that are too wide for your application. How thick was the adapter? If the adapter is less than 1 inch you have a very small window to fit into. If the adapter is over 1 inch you might. just might, get by with a 1/2 inch to clear the frame and not hit the fender. Springs? I have no idea what springs are available for the El Camino. I think they were upgraded car springs.
