What year did NHRA allow the guys to start to Tub the Super Stock Cars?

Going off the history timeline on my car, I want to say 1973. That is when Kenny Lau put the 14x32's under it. It might have been 1972 though.

So I assume there would have been a time when leaf spring and tubbed car would have ran together in SS.. I presume the top classes like SS/AA and SS/BA would have been the first cars to be tubbed.

My Dodge was EA at the time, DA with the aluminum nose. It had S/S springs and 14x32's Firestone's.

Did he move the stock rails in or built new rails? Do you run a 4 link in it now?

Chrysler sells a kit that relocates the spring to the framerail, so neither. The car has a ladder bars now, it was done sometime in the 80's I believe. It is not a legal S/S car anymore. Give me a few years to save some money...
