    Here and there...

    ...and *NO*...the chassis is nothing like the Riviera. The 1st and 2nd generation Rivieras had a cruciform frame which no other GM vehicle employed. You'll find more similarity with the Electra 225.

    Welcome to the board. Please introduce yourself, it is customary.

    Nice boat...gonna be a full two-tons of fun.

    This is great to know!! I will google Steele rubber. Do you know if a 15x8 rim will fit with narrow tire??

    The '67 LeSabre is on a 123" wheelbase. The Wildcat and Electra are both on the 126" wheelbase.

    You can get a 9” wheel in there if you’re willing to forget the skirts. I put LeSabre trim on mine instead. It’s still a bit of a PIA getting them off though. 6C71CC0F-ADB2-439D-AFAD-D40087CF5922.jpeg

    Steele rubber does have the rubber I was looking for!! I will have to buy it pieces at a time due to high cost but I am really grateful to know it is available :)

    You should write a book. :) - this is all great. I will certainly keep this in mind. As of now I have to get the engine running. But I will have to replace anything that is worn out before loading up the fam. I am thankful for the knowledge on my big family cruiser!! Roll Tide from Alabama
