Re: [Amc-list] ramblings of a twisted mind and Head grooving (Ranger axle in American)

Well, maybe they should be, but a tape measure across the tread shows 6" on the 78 and the listed tread width is 6.5" on the 80's.
  Not sure what the actual measurement would be.
Can't buy them right now anyway.
Trying to decypher how much more I have to spend to put the carpet in the American!
List is.
Sound deadener.
modern seatbelts.
window felts for when I put the crank down rear windows in while I have the interior out!

Geez, will it ever end?
By one thing and it snowballs...
