Hi Everyone
Havent touched my 1953 Chevy rat rod since dec 2011 due to extreme frustration...with it...been looking at it in the garage and wondering how hard is it to convert to the large 2 ton truck wheels some of you guys are running. To me it seems they give these full sized cabs that are dropped on the ground a better stance (fenderless of course)...the punny little 15" stock wheels just look stupid to me...what does it take to swap from the stock 15" Chevy steel wheels to those big tall 20" skinny Stovebolt truck wheels???
Currently I am working with a Chevy Camaro rear end with a Speedway motors disc brake setup in the front (full size Monte Carlo I have been told) on the stock 1953 Chevy 1/2 ton truck axle...
My other option is to narrow the cab and I dont even wanna attempt that mess...that would take me monthes to get everything to match up again...
thanks for any insight
