I should know this but I don't so at the risk of being the laughing
stock of the old truck list - here goes:
what does a narrowed rear end mean? Does this mean the actual
rear end axles and axle tubes have been narrowed? Or that the
frame has been altered to accept a different rear end.
Finally, what is the benefit to narrowing rear ends?
I ask because I am looking at a 57 belair ht and the owner said the
rear end appears to have been narrowed and has traction bars (old
drag car he thinks). It's a solid/complete bod but I need to know if
the frame is original, if the rear end is original and what narrowing
actually means so I can educate myself before I buy.
Thanks ya'll.
