Is you truck wide bed or step side? I think that step sides have less room for wide tires, but I have not compared to wide bed trucks! My estimint is at least a M/T 29.1850 would fit very good and safe, they are 15 1/2 inchs and on my 65 step side from the frame to the fender lip I have 171/2 in.
I have wanted the wider fenders, they make them in 3 in. and 5 inch wider. I think that 4/ Link would be very good for racing, but as a daily driver it will have short comings! What ever you want to do, DO it well!

Cut ( FOUR ) pieces of an old ford truck frame that has been junked, fit them to the inside of your good frame, add weld and bolts, the leafs are now inboard, time for the (big WIDE tires)!

Oh yeah (Tubbs)

It is a swb. Wide bed, no step sides on this one. This isn't going to be a daily driver anymore if I make it pro street. Just a weekend thing and a strip truck for a while then in a few months after finished it will be a strip only truck.

I couldn't find any pro streeted ones but here is one of mine. I do have a Chevy pro streeted of the same year and looks the same that I saved to get idea's from though. Looks pretty sweet. I don't remember which computer it is on though.

I should have made myself more clear. The 66 F100 there in green is mine. The red chevy there is just a picture I found that is all pro streeted. I got pics of it's interior which is REALLY nice, the rear end, etc etc. They look kind of similar so I saved it to give me some idea's on my Ford. My Ford has nicer body lines though I think!!! :D Especially the front fenders.
