Original hemi dart information

[Hacksaw]

Didn't know they made a Cragar to fit a 14' slick. I say go with Cragar fronts and steelie backs or Super Tricks on all 4 corners.

Even modifying them, with bolts ran through the bell, as LiteWeight has suggested, they don't want to take the chance. A shame, since I had just bought a new set of Cragars and slicks. I still have a really nice set of SuperTricks that my car came with, but I really wanted a "1960's" look; not a "1970's" (or later) look. Any suggestions? I thought about just running plain black wide steelies, since my current paint scheme is the original primer gray and black...

I fully understand where your concern is Clint and I wont want to tell you that they will be safe to run. That motor is making alot of power andeven tho these were run on cars including Pro Stocks in 1970 like Landy, Sox, Jenkins and many more that used to side step the clutch at 6,000???( I'm only guessing here) those rims never broke. BUT they didnt have the tire technology or size that is available today.

Easy…set of lightweight tires and contemporary racing rims for the track. old school for the street and shows.
