72 duster Build progress
oh and also , I think I have decided to keep the rallye wheels. I was talking about switching to cragars. But I just like the Rallyes to much. They have a nice 70's look to them,they look clean and racey. Not to mention when I looked into different wheels it was proving to be a headache that I didnt want to mess with. I really like the stance/size/offset of my current wheels so i wanted something about the same or close if I was to get different rims. But being that I have small bolt pattern my options were limited. unless I wanted to swap out axles in the rear and change out front end parts in the front and I just cant swing the cash for something like that.
The previous owner must have had these wheels custom made (15"x12" with 5.5" offset....because the largest rallye wheels I could find for small bolt patter has been a 15"x8" with a 4.675" offset.
which another reason I want to keep these wheels because it a nice beefy set of factory style wheels that not everyone will have ( especially locally).
anyhow. I just wanted to mention that because awhile back I had mentioned that my current wheels may be for sale. however. my 4.56 gears may be up for grabs here really soon if anyone is interested ( 8 3/4 rear with 742 center section). recently had the center section out because I sealed up a slow leak that developed from sitting in the garage the past couple years.and added new gear oil and adjusted the axles etc...etc... and while I had it apart I inspected it all and the ring and pinion looked in excellent condition! ...And If I recall I remember there being an aftermarket performance brand name stamped in the side of the ring gear but I cant remember off the top of my head what the name was....richmond?,yukon?....not sure.
if anyone has any interest then let me know.
