Thanks for the replies. I figured about the same in regards to tire
size as that's about what I'm using on my Chevelle, which has pretty
much the same fender clearance as my oletruck. I'm using 255/60-R15 on
the rear. After more investigative measuring, it looks as if I'm going
to pass on this Ford rear end to someone else who can use it. I have a
line on a 10-bolt posi out of a Camaro Berlinetta that is the same width
as the oletruck rear, flange to flange. It's not free, but will
probably be less of a hassle in the long run.
