Wheel Tracking
Hi all
I am in the process of identifying what rear end to get for my 56 F100.
Here is my question. What is the effect of the rear end not tracking directly behind the front tires?
My 56 is a flat bed so I have no fenders to fit up to. There are a lot of rear ends that are not the same width as mine. I can even put a dually on it. But I don't want to introduce bad handling into the truck.

If you have more than an inch or so track difference it will be squirrely in mud or snow, no real difference on dry pavement other than tendency to over/under steer easier with extreme differences in track. For a sunny day cruiser it probably wouldn't make a lot of difference.
