    This is pretty cool, but spendy

    Would be nice to be able to fit a larger rear tire, but looks like a lot of work and is pretty expensive.

    IMO if you're going to spend that kind of coin on a rear suspension ditch the leaves and go to coilovers with something like the G-Bar.

    If you need 10" wide rims.... Would think that if you roll your quarterpanel lips flush, and hammer out your existing wheel housing you can do it already or get real close?

    Very tricky on a '67-'68 in my experience.  Its tough enough getting a 10.5" tire in there.  The rims would have to be custom made; no off the shelf backspacing I've ever seen will allow a wheel that wide.  The tires would also have to be at most 10.5" wide, which is like a 275.
