Thanks for the tips guys!
I'll try to see if body needs just a simple nudge. If alignment isn't the
culprit and my dad's not looking, I think I'll give the inside of the
fenders a few strategically placed whacks. I kinda like how it looks now
and I'm hoping to keep the stance as it is.
Has anyone tried installing stiffer (comp) leaf springs? I seem to recall
seeing some being sold by vendors.
Again, thanks guys!

Subject: Re: sagging rear suspension
I encountered the same problem with the same size
tires on my '66, whose rear end does sag a bit. The
body was a little off center and the rub was on the
pass side. I loosened the body bolts and nudged it
over about 1/8" to solve my problem. Other fixes
would be to add or beef up the leaf springs. Some
people turn them upside down, but I think that
adversly affects your handling, so I would pass...
