are you going to raise it up? I like the look of the raised bay's with racks :hillbilly:


Eventually. It's pretty simple. Raised spindles up front, one outer in the rear. However, you loose the ability to run a speedo with the spindles.

71 was the first year for the 5x112 bolt pattern. All stock rims were 14 inchers. It's impossible to find nice mud/all terrain tires in 14 inch. I need some 15" rims, then I have all the selection I want in tires.

I'm going to get it running first, then I'll save up for spindles, wheels, and tires.
