How do you intend to camber a car with a live axle? It's not as simple as putting shims behind the mounting flange of the hub...

I was going to say... you mentioned mini-tub, so I assume you're talking about the rear axle.
It's not going to be easy to make a live axle have camber.

You could bend the axle housing.
But then you'll have axle/differential misalignment.
And wheel bearing issues.

A lot of these older cars have severely limited INNER clearance, especially on the rear wheels.
I'm doing a set of wheels for a '67 GTO (big body) and fitting an 11" wheel on the rear
of that car is problematic. We had to do serious mods even to run 305/35-20 back there.

Too far in, you hit the inner fender/body.
Cut and roll rear quarters doesn't help when the car is very low because the wheel well
arcs back and the tires rub the inside and high on the quarter inner panel.

If you're talking about the front, there are a few companies making adjustable upper
A-arms for those older cars. But backspacing is critical up front of the wheels/tires
rub the frame when the wheels are turned.

wow, alot of options here. the easiest would be to have a custom rearend setup made with a 3 link or 4 link and use coilovers. im guessing you have an 8-3/4" rear? if you wanna keep that its all good and fine but there are a ton of options for 9" fords and can be made for cheap. me and a buddy did one for his 73 camaro and his stance was awesome. id read up on what the mini truck guys are doing b/c solid axle slammed vehicles are their way of life.
