QA1 K and Gen III
Well made more progress on this build, however I did get sidetracked with another non-Mopar project which took up some time. Anyways - finally dropped the rear end, tank and bumper. Replaced the tank with a TanksInc setup which looks nice. The bumper I ordered through Summit, and should be her this weeks. I ended up trading off an 8.25 for a 8.75 with 3:91's and Sure Grip. All went in pretty well, however I noticed the axle is not totally square under the car - about an inch forward on the passenger side. When I had leafs out, I noticed that once front hanger eyelet was large than the other. I figured this was because of torque vs non-torqued side. Now I wonder if someone swapped only one side and I just noticed this? Not major drama - but will need to be figured out. Looking over the car, I see no past crash damage, so not frame or issues such as that.
Anyways - I was shopping at summit and found a set of Weld wheels, very low cost so purchased them. Backs are 15/10 4.5 offset and fronts are 15/7 with I believe 3.5 offset. I bought Nitto 275/50/15's for rear. They are tight, and believe it or not, I have more room for a larger tire if I want to in the future. I like this!
Now need to run the fuel system and wiring, just need time!
