Hi there, I purchased a '77 M800 to play around with. I have done some searching but could use some verification on a few things.
Tires & Rims
1. I am looking to switch to some 16 in steel rims, does anyone know the backspacing that the stock rims have?
2. How large of a tire can I put on a 16 inch rim, while keeping the suspension stock, and not have any rub? It looks like a 255/85r16 works, has anyone done this or gone even larger?
Paint
The body is in really good condition for what it is however, I would like to freshen up the paint. Does anyone know a paint code for the original green? Also where might I be able to find the paint? This is one thing I have had very little luck locating.
Steering
I would like to swap out the steering box for power steering. I am looking at purchasing an old Charger for a parts truck, will I be able to pull everything out of that truck for a power steering swap? What other donor vehicles are there for the power steering swap?
Thanks in advance, I am excited to get this project rolling.
