    1/2 an inch can easily fit, or you can use different wheels to tuck it back in. I wouldn't mess with a colorado, mainly because of the 6 lug rotors, but the coil spring sits on top of the upper a arm. it is ugly and would be right in your inner fender.

    Looks good! I just did a swap from an 86 XJ6 for my 53. Running a SBC. I was wondering about the PS pump. From what I gathered the SBC pump can be used with no problems?

    so far it is working. jag hoses fit right into the 85 chevy PS pump. They are a little long, however.

    Sled, I sent a PM but can you tell me more about the hubs and how you turned them down so that regular Chevy wheels will fit??? Did you have to tear them down ans have a shop do it? Can it be done without tearing it down?
