Glenn, So it's taken so long to reply, just haven't been on here for a few years. Sorry. The rear tires are Pro Tracs, available through Coker now. I don't know the actual numbers on the tire but I think they were 31" tall and a tread width of 14", section width of about 18". Rims were 16" early Fords cut down to 15" and widened to 14"!! Kinda crazy but we drove cross country a couple of times and never had any issues with them. Hope this helps.
Lance, Weird to call you Lance since you were my middle school art teacher in the 80's when you were finishing that car up. I was handful then- still am I guess -but you were always really patient and chill. Your artwork and that car got me into hot rods. You drew me a pen/ink/ watercolor of a radically chopped sedan delivery that we had professionally framed. I still remember you telling me about the quick change rear end and thinking that was just the coolest thing ever! Crazy how well that car has stood the test of time. Built over thirty years ago and doesn't look dated in the least. Just goes to show you works of art are timeless. I hope you get on here and see this, Chris Kolloff
Chris, Geez it's been a long time. And I definitely remember you!!! I don't recall you being a handful though. But I'm stoked that you're on here and would love to catch up.
