Forgot to mention that the wheel lips have been trimmed. I am totally fine with building the rearend to fit the wheels. I was going to build an 8-3/4" for it anyway. Before I was going to put a 67-70 B-body rear in it but that didn't pan out the way I wanted and had to cut on it to get the 3rd member out. I was going to go with some 18’s at that point but have decided to keep it Day 2 because the previous owner would not have agreed with something that wasn’t period correct.

@Locomotion Thanks for bringing up the point about the housing ends being close to the U-bolts. Worst case scenario would be having to stay with the 3" relocation deal. I wanted to get the leaf out of the frame pocket. You cannot run factory exhaust with the passenger side leaf moved that far in. With a MP or Dr. Diff 1/2" relocation it is possible to run the OEM exhaust and the tip. The tips are what I would really like to keep but running Keystone's are higher on the "want" list.
