Only thing I know, it came from the Canada/Wa. border town about 5 years ago. We bought it in '06 from a friend in Spokane.

Hey Eric....that bug is sittin' real nice! Low...but not too low! Did you end up doing a 4 inch narrow on the beam, or 2? I'm starting to think I should of took my time, and done a narrow on the beam when I did the adjusters. This has just the right "tuck"....I'm digging it!!

Just a 2" total narrowed beam, done off a '65 king/link. I cut 4" out of the center, adjusters are 2" wide. I think 2" is plenty for stock wheels, the rear is too low though, with a deep sump, not much room under there.

Those rear tires look pretty wide Eric, is that why it's rubbing? I was thinking 1 1/2 clicks on the rear with 165's for mine. I remember when you showed me those wheels...aren't they 50 series tires or something?

They are 205-60-15's in the rear, rubbing is gone after a little work. It's still too low, going to come up an 1" or so.
