FRONT TO REAR TRACKING

I WAS WONDERING WHY IS IT THAT THE FRONT WHEEL BASE IS WIDER THAN THE REAR WHEEL BASE? AND WHAT CAN U DO TO GIVE THEM THE SAME TRACK

FRONT TO REAR TRACKING

Byron, in 65 Ford widened the front track when it introduced the twin I-beams. In 73 Ford widened the rear track. You can add a 73 or later complete rear axle to your truck and it will track.

You can adjust the "track" with backspacing on the wheels. Not "spacers", (which suck), spacing. I use 5 on 5 1/2 x 7 inch wide with 4 inch back spacing in front and 5 on 5 1/2 x 8 inch wide on the rear with 3 1/2 inch backspacing. You will have to experiment to get the look you want.
