Information! Correct information is never crap! And we never dabbled in the way the measurements where made. The plum bob is square with the...
Because like it or not most tires are measured that way! You got bias plys on your traditional I suppose?
If that person runs a 10" wide tire on an 8" wide wheel with that 5.75 inch bs he deserves to cut up his tires and buy a new set that fit. His...
He has a backspace of 5.75 inches. Plus 1/2 inch added to that for the tire equals 6.25 inches. His available space from the wheel mounting...
235mm isn't tread width. It's cross section. Here's a much better way to figure out what wheel/tire combo fits without reordering at all. Do it...
You're sorta good at math. 235mm is 9.25". On a 6 inch rim. On an 8 inch it's 10" 1/4 inch isn't enough! And we do go away when we get tired of...
With poor advice etiquette goes out the window! With a proper width tire (at least a 235) on your 8" rim your cross section will be at least 10...
Sure glad I'm not buying rims from you!!
Simple but incorrect! 6.5 inches clearance taken up by 5.75 of backspace plus 1/2 to 3/4 of tire puts your tire hard into the sheet metal.

If you can't find buckets then here's a good list in this thread for bench seat JY hunting....
WElcome Grant!! Nice lookin' truck!!
Hey dude!! You missed a step!Your first thread needs to be over at the introduction zone. That is if you last that long!!
When you redo the rope seal on the rear main just replace it with a newer style neoprene one. THe rope seal is usually the biggest leaker on the...
Hurst still makes the Mastershift 3 speed. About 320 bucks with the install kit. http://www.jegs.com/i/Hurst/530/366-7271/10002/-1
Your heat riser is working right. It takes a couple minutes to warm the intake. If it wasn't working right you'd have major surging, backfiring...
It pulses until your intake warms up. Your cold intake causes the vaporized fuel to revert back to a liquid. You're getting a lean surge. If it...
So is that the manifold vacuum source for the pcv?
Pcv goes in the pan or a valve cover. Not in the intake. Intake supplies manifold vacuum source.
Pcv in the intake or in the pan? Can't tell from your pic.
What type of suspension? Coils, leafs??

If you're having a hard time getting into 2nd but not 3rd look for interference of the linkage rod on the emergency brake hardware that's usually...
You gotta know for sure. With a 6" wide rim (7 inches from lip to lip) you're safely limited to a 215 70 tire. If they are 7" wide (8 inches lip...
Is that 7 inches from lip to lip?
Nice truck!! I had a 65 swb stepside 2 years ago. Sold it for 9500 bucks but it was a rust free virgin metal 46000 mile Oregon truck. Your motor's...
How wide are the new rims? That might limit how wide of a tire you can safely run.
It's manifold vacuum! Use it. I used it for my pcv.
I used an HEI on my 230 in my 65 c10. Had an offy intake, holley 7448 and langdon's headers. Ran it at 14* initial. It would ping a little at 16...
