Well, I think for a tire that wide the axle will have to be shortened.

I am assuming it has the 8 1/4" rearend in it, which if it does, I will keep it and just beef up the internals. I think the less powerful mopars came with the 7..." rear end, and the real beasts had the 8 3/4". I will just rebuild it and put a mopar diff into it along with gears.

The tranny is a 727 3 speed auto...is this a decent tranny to keep for a while and just put a shift kit in it and possibly a basic rebuild? I dont want to spend the extra money on a new badass tranny just yet, wanna get the car running well and rolling and some other stuff done first, if it aint broke, I dont wanna completely fix it just yet.

I will most likely need a leaf relocation kit, I will keep the leafs in the rear, add some traction bits, shocks, subframe connectors, and possibly a coilover kit in the front.

But for now I want to figure out the rear suspension and how to get a 18x12" wheel on a 335tire out back. The front I will do a 17x9" wheel, 275 tire if it fits.

I want to get a complete rolling chassis going and complete. The frame has been already taken off and powdercoated!! which is great. The body is straight because a body shop used to own it, they cut out the rust spots and its all in pretty good shape, ready to sand and paint.
