Yes. Plus, you can mini tub the rear wheel wells for fatter tires.

So what's involved with narrowing the rear? Leaf springs moved? Frame narrowed? Rear end shortened? Custom axles?
Or am I thinking bout this too much?

Spoiling. I think in his case just cut the ends off and
Move them in 3 inches with shorter axles. And that's it.

Narrow housing, ordering moser axles built to proper length, stock frame, stock leafs in place with caltrac bars added and 4.10 gearing in the rear housing too.
