Actually, "Posi-Traction" is merely a Chevy term for a limited-slip differential. Ford used the term "Traction-Lok" for theirs. It's the same...
You can run 70s with no problem. They are 3/4 of an inch shorter than the 75s. I'd keep 'em the same size for all 4...
I don't like them for anything other than a race-only car...
I 2nd that...:2thumbs:
I don't know without checking, but I seriously doubt that the 4-lug wheels were 14x6"...

'75 Grabbers were advertised to have a "heavy duty" suspension. 4-leafs may have been part of that...

Mine is shown in the Members photo Gallery...
Nice chair. That steering wheel goes perfect with it...:biglaugh:
If you're gonna use non-stock taillights on a Maverick, ya really can't beat Shelby ('65 T-bird) taillights, with Bobcat taillights being a 2nd...
