as far as the dse rear shackle....has anybody used them with a wheel/tire this size on a 67-68?

it would make my life alot easier if the dse shackle would work, I just don't think it will move the leafspring in enough to clear the tire.
they will work. Call them up, but they've been using that kit for years for up to 12" wide wheels and 335 tires. They actually recommend a 315 on your car, so you're set.
