As I said above, I been there done that.
Make sure you got good ride height,stiff shocks & springs, and watch having people in the back seat. I never had problems until I had people in the back.
As I said above, you just got becareful with this set up.

Well I have the leaf spring shackles that lift rear up 3/8" and also have 5 leaf hd springs vs standard leaf springs and new shocks. When it is sitting it looks like it has the clearance. I wont have the motor or tran. in it till spring. Dodgestang I know you probably have way more experience in this then me but my neighbor has a 1977 Cougar with wide tires that stick out like that and has never been a problem.
Long shackels, air shocks, etc...
Handling goes to ****, the over all ride deteriorates, traction suffers, and if you do it with air shocks you run the risk of poke through.

dodgestang-
You'll be happy to know that I purchased a 8" 66' rear end outta of a fastback last night for $150.00. The 68' and 66' have the same drums and shoes so what I plan to do is leave it the way it is and after a series of tests if its problematic I'll throw in the 66' rear end. This 66' has a much more desirable gear then my 68'.

15X8 rears with 4.5" back spacing and 15x7 fronts with 4.5" backspacing should work fine on the 66 set up correct?
#18
15x8 4.5 bs is fine. 15x7 4.5 backspacing on the front doesn't work because of hard interference with the upper a arm. I though/assumer the 15x7 would be 4.25?
#19
They probably are 4.25bs I assumed which we know never to do! They were on a 66' fastback when I bought them so they should work out fine. Thanks again for your help
