68 Barracuda Fastback Rear Shock to Gas Tank Clearance Question.

Good point. I'll check that tire position out. I believe though it has the original 8 3/4 in it

that's good....remember the spring perch bolt location is key to front /back loction.

on some builds I have spaced the front perch slightly rearward for larger diameter tire clearance by adding spacers between the perch and the frame. I have also seen aftermarket / homemade front spring hangers that space the rear rearwards

Good luck,
Denny
