14x7 slots all around front 185/70/14 rear G60's (NOS B.F.) Been driving around on reversed chromes and slicks for the past couple weeks. Good Times.

Thanks guys - 10 inch, drum brakes.

Need a good quality front hub (no studs no problem) for 10 inch drum brakes. Stud holes need to have good teeth. During the last wheel swap my passenger side front studs started spinning in the hub. Pulled it apart to find the hubs holes were almost worn smooth. Guessing the previous owner...

thanks for the link - I'll check them out!

another Bump. let's see them. Just finished polishing up a set of aluminum slots - and picked up a pair of nos g50-14s. Running airshocks but still isn't high enough for tire clearance.... thinking some spring re-arching is in order.

my goal is accurately (but safely) recreate the look below. Currently the 7" slots with the g50 tires don't "stickout" past the fender lip (like below), but they do come into contact with it.

I did and appreciate your thoughts on the S/S - it sounds like the best option. As far as the tire size, I'm really trying to stick to a period look. I sourced these NOS g50's from a wheel/tire collector buddy. It's the widest period tire, with the shortest profile that will run on 7 inch...

Yes Yes - the air shocks were a fix the previous owner installed to combat the sagging springs. Obviously not the long term solution. One of my other projects rolls on a complete airbag suspension... trust me I know the impact (no pun intended) that an aired up suspension imparts. I really...

I'm going for a late 70's street machine look, but don't want to result to shackles to fit my G50-14's. Even with the airshocks fully inflated, there still isn't enough height. The above pic is from the test fit last night, car is on the jack. What springs would you recommend to get the rear up...

I live in the city - drive my '72 Swinger everyday there isn't salt on the roads. any other Chicago (city) a-body owners?

Looking for 14" or 15" sbp 6 inch or 7 inch Thanks!

Thank you. I suspected it was the case.

Am I completely insane to think 8's with a 3.35 backspacing will fit my '72 Swinger? The car is equipped with airshocks, but I fear the wheel/tire will rub right up on the wheel opening lip. I have not yet determined the tire size. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Bump

Welcome!

welcome - Rad car!

great looking swinger!

I should have read this thread a few days ago... before i bought some aluminum caps. 2 of them are real foggy, and I'm sorry - I'm just not going to strip polish paint seal a set of caps for my driver. I'd wondered why the stainless caps were so much more expensive. Now I know. on the upside -...

Welcome!

I'm running a 318 with a mild cam, edelbrock 600 carb & performer intake, out to headers. It does just fine as my daily driver... and I'm driving through downtown Chicago every morning and evening. It's a rock solid combo with enough power to lay some black lines through intersections.

thanks! - just picked up a decent set of redlines on ebay. Looking forward to popping them on.

Welcome to FABO. old school. always oldschool.

looking good you guys. yeah - i dig the smooth caps as well - the brushed aluminum looks good with the b/w. The look more "plain jane" as well. Thanks!

Having a heck of a time fingering out the accurate dogdishes for my Swinger. Currently running these... but wondering if redlines are the correct cap. Thanks in advance.

welcome to fabo! I also purchased my '72 on ebay. though it was in no condition to drive home. great story.

is the dash woodgrain - if so how's the condition? looking for instrument, radio/heater and glove box bezels.

Chicago, the near south side (31st) any other Chicago folks here?

the 318 runs like a champ. the swinger is my daily driver - and requires weekly tweaks. the 318 was built up by a gentleman that rounded a few corners and cut even more corners. it runs great ... after a new gas tank, new carb, rebuilt trans, and rebuilt heads. all new brake system (master...

thanks memike. yeah. the midwest is the best.

Let's try this. me looking like a douche in front of the '62 1962 Coupe Deville : Disk Brake conversion, recent rebuilt mill, Full Air Suspension, lots of little upgrades... and yeah, it's running snow tires in the rear.
