How are they fitting those wheels in there with a stock width rearend? Thanks, everyone. There will be many more questions to come as I undertake this project

A few year old quote from a DTD, "my boss told me that he had better not see me climbing under cars and measuring rearends anymore". That would lead me to believe that as long as the springs are in the right place and the inner wheel housings aren't modified then you're OK to NOT have a "stock width" rear. Honestly, I don't have a problem with this. If anyone out there would know any different, then I would sure like to know. There IS a new Sheriff in town!
