The back spacing on the 10" wide wheels was 2.5" and on my 9.5" wide wheels it is 3.5". I have not altered the rear fenders or bed - stock configuration. It's amazing how much space there is if you plan out and use the existing space wisely. Oh, and I have air ride suspension, and it goes up and down without rubbing anything!

I have a 1954 R112 that I have been "storing" in my garage for 6 years trying to decide which route to go: original or custom. being as the original 6 is seized, I have since decided to go SBF 68' 302 and a 5 speed manual trani with a Ford 9" rear end. But I wanted to Congratulate on all your hard work thru all the time and challenges that you have had to conquer. Yours will definitely be a head turner for sure. I am hoping to start deconstruction of mine soon. Good luck and look forward to seeing more pics and the finished project! By the way I noticed an Iowa State rug in one of your pics.... are you from Iowa or did you go to Iowa State? Just curious...
