The 73-77 cars are even wider than the 64-72 cars, so this axle fits even worse.

would it fit with a wheel with considerable backspacing? like a newer aluminum wheel?

you could shorten it and use the iceman uppers for the abody

Yes, but then you're stuck for the front,unless you do the spacer thing :shudder:

What are iceman uppers? Is this something that is gonna save me from fabbing my own spacers???

Please elaborate!!
