Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 47 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2003 Posts: 47 | 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

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.
