Truck looks good. I like the bumpers. Those are HPI savage bumpers aren't they? I need some like that for a scale jeep I'm going to make.

depending on how much narrower you are looking to go, you could try swaping in the Nitro MT knuckles and drive cups. It should narrow your track width by arount 3/4".

I am not sure that standard rear pede wheels will clear the axle C.

so if i use the mt knuckles and it brings it in that much i believe im looking at having the lip of the fender sit close to about the middle of the tire thats what im thinking and that would look so much better but on the wheel sublect i was goin to narrow them and a set of mashers that would also help bring it in some as well right?

No, they barely rub...but if you inside narrow them like I'm doing right now they'll fit great and narrow you to about 10 5/8" width.

I like your orange Ford body better.
