Grinding Calipers Done !!!!! More Pics Wheels at Bottom

[73K5Kid]

Finally done about 4 hrs worth of on my 10 bolt. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. After doing the first one you get and idea of what spots to hit on the second. Only thing that sucks is the heat. Here's a few pics I went with 4 1/8 backspacing. Picked up some chrome crager wheels from jegs. They are wagon wheels but look a little better. Summit was back ordered on a lot of their 15 inch wheels. Anyone that is hesitant cuz they don't want to grind just go for it. Now off to remove the sway bar. Took the sway bar off and feels a lot better on the road. Now I need to get the exhaust done and a front driveshaft made.

Be sure to toss some paint on them before you pop the rims on...

mine is really tight you would prolly have to grind just as much as his if my tires were balanced....i bought my boggers on wheels and when i put them on they had stickey weights on the inside of the wheel...i spun the tire once and tore off all the weight...i never could figure why someone would ballance a bogger anyway..

Just did mine too. Also shaded safety glass are needed to because some people can get " Flash Burn " from a grinder.

Matt I have wanted a full conv with a/c overdrive and fuel inj for a long time. I almost sold it a few times but did not. I am going to keep her. With a hundred degree weather the top is going to stay on and the ice cold ac is going to blow.
