Re: ideal tires for 15s

If you have 275/60 on the rear, check out a 225/70 for the front. That will really give you a nice stance.

Re: 383 Cast Cranks

the cats crank was used starting in 71, on the 2 bbl motors only. In 72, the 400 was introduced, with the same cast crank, unless you had a 4 speed, those motors got forged cranks.

Re: seat frames

All wagons and 4 doors had solid, fixed backs and the 2 doors used a split back, to allow you to get to the back seat. I discarded a 4 door bench, the bottom did not have the mounting points for the split back.

Re: Tire s rub, any advice?

Re: Dash tach for non-Rallye '71-74 B-bodies

That tach is nice looking, I guess that it replaces the clock on the right side. it seems to be real small, let me know how you like it., I mounted a stewart warner stage II tach to the windshield post, over on the left, put s/w oil and water temp gauges on top, near the dash speaker.
