What would needed 2 be done in order to run this wheel and rim size combo like this 70 challenger?

There are rear shackles that can move the rear leaf springs in an inch, but you can also go with a B-Body rear end that is shorter than an E-Body. I have a feeling that is what happened here. Possibly both?

ah that maybe the case

If you look close you'll see that the rear wheel has a really deep dish to it. That setup is not just a B-body rear end swap. I doubt that you could even run a wheel like that with the 3" spring relocation setup. More than likely that car has been back-halved and tubbed.

At least mini-tubbed. There is more to that than B-bod housing and spring relocators.

Here are some links to other photos of the same car before it was repainted. It was raced for years;

The Hill Billy photo is the oldest one I have of this car, and yes, the car is a real T/A.

T/Ake care,

I love those old race car pics!!!

It appears to me that the front of the rear wheelwell lips are moved up a couple of inches too. That was real common with tall slicks.

Definitly a tub job but why did they take off the rear spoiler?
