    Well after seeing the post of the So-Cal 57 I just had to get mine out of the garage this weekend and get a good look at my new stance. I went with 2" ball joint spacers and 63 Impala/409 springs.

    Thanks for looking,
    Duke

    Where'd ya find the ball joint spacers? Been looking for em. I still have the steel cups that go under the spring from one of my highriders in the 70's but cant seem to find the ball joint spacers anywhere. Appreciate some info..
     
  3. A guy is selling them on Ebay. I gotta get me a set to stop the upper control arms from hitting on my frame on bumps!

    A 57 Chevy 150 is by far the nicest 57, and yours is by far the nicest 57 150 I have ever seen...Absolutly beautiful.

    How does it ride with the spacers? I got a set for my Fairlane years ago off E bay but several people cautioned me about several issues with them....

    Hey guys thanks for all the comments, it makes all the hard work worth it.

    James, no problem about the parts bro, cant wait to go cruising with you and Steve. I still might see if Steve will "Put the tune" on my blower motor.


    6t5frlane, I dont know yet, theres a alignment shop a few blocks from my house, im taking a day off work and making an appointment soon.

    Thanks again guys!

    Duke
