Wrong my fine feathered friend. Moving the axle back is something I HAVE AND "wont" ever due ! If I were going to move it, it would be forward .
It is in the stock location, same as when I ran 295 65 15 drag radials . I did rework the front of the fenders before the paint job, rolled the lips, and adjusted the inner fender panels in certain spots with a hammer / from past experience , and run 3/4" offset hangars , and the dana 60 is 1'' shorter than an A body rear, altho it has disc brakes which change the width too . I been doing this a long time.
It still doesn`t hook up , but that's another story , front end problems---------I don't know if it will ever hook up on these small tires tho.
Trying to load a pic with the 295 d.r. -----------
You are right about not being a pro touring set up , in the fact that I haven`t built up that much trust in the build yet .
