I never did weigh a 15 X 10 Cragar with an old 295/50 T/A radial on it,but they were heavy as hell to put on a vehicle,that i do remember But damn they looked good,especially if the brake drum behind it was detailed nicely

Oh yea, you always had to paint the drum! LOL

My uncle was in the navy in 1970 stationed out at Pearl. One of his civilian cop buddies had one of these with a 440. At the time they allowed cops to use their personal cars so long as they were willing to mount a bubble gum machine on top. Together they went out on H-1 late one night and proceeded to exceed 150 mph lol...
