B Body rear into 67 cuda fastback
Well I been doing a lot of measuring and such playing with the idea of putting b body rear and disc brakes on dad's 67 barracuda fastback.I had gotten him some magnum 500 road wheels and cap's trim ring's lug nut's etc.well The tires I ordered came in on my birthday so I figured what a way to goof off and decided that would be my fun time project for the day.so knowing that the disk setup would move the front wheels out about an inch and the big bolt a body 7 1/4 axels have been ever elusive to me I decided to rob the wheel adaptors from my 64 dart convertable so I could "hook dad up" after installing the rear wheel adaptors and using two builders squares to help with the measuring I came up with 59 1/2 inches so now it was time to bolt on the wheels with 225 70 cooper cobra's to see I f I had enough clearance(fingers crossed as I let the jack down) any way they fit with a lil' extra clearance without any cutting of the wheel lip's Hooray!!! :cheers:so next project is to move spring perches for the b body rear to install later and gather lower ball joints,upper control ar's for the project and build him a new driveshaft for now with 215 70 14's on the front and the 225 70'14's on the rear everything fits so It's a go!!!!
