TCI uses a Monroe shock part # 32118. -J
Asking for pictures is the best way to diagnose a problem, PROPERLY. It could be something as simple as a rack extension installed incorrectly or...
Thanks, the new ride height looks great.
Very nice longroof! What mods did you do to the rear shock crossmember?
I asked Sal @ TCI and he said to use a '55-'59 Chevy pickup pan. Apparently it is much more shallow at the front. -J
If strength is your goal then you really need to look at this one instead of a traditional 4-bar. 1.25" link bars, driveshaft loop cross member,...
Great job so far, keep up the good work. -J
You can make a MII "based" kit handle very well. We have done extensive testing with them and have even come real close to 50 mph through the...
Speedway has the TCI kit in stock. I was browsing their ebay ads and every other TCI leaf kit is listed @ $509 except the '49-'54. I am guessing...
FWIW: There are two pedals available, one for a stock chassis and the other for their chassis. So technically yes, the chassis piece is...
I browsed the thread solely based on "Yucaipa" since I was born and raised there. My dad used to talk about a Danny Glover back in the...
You will need a rear sump pan to make it fit. -J
Here is a short video Glenn shared with us http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoXk4p3UExY -J
Welcome, from the other Ontario -J

I am right there with you on the primer spots. It puts a bit of reality into how much work truly goes into building a vehicle. -J
Good food, good people, and a bunch of gorgeous trucks. Not bad for a Friday afternoon:D [IMG] [IMG] -J

Tomorrow is the F100 Western Nationals put on by the truck club "Pickups Limited" benefiting local charities. They decided to take a road trip out...
The car looks great, you'll have to swing it by the shop once it is done. :) The front end on Nick's car has settled about an inch from the...
The only thing left after addressing the pressure and aligning it at 5+ pos caster is switching to the early 80's T-bird rack. That rack is 3...
The front 4-link bracket reuses existing holes on a curved part of the frame so basically you can't install the bracket incorrectly....
I spoke with Todd and he said your kit was an as delivered piece from TCI. I'd suggest sending a couple pics and description of the problem to...
He just stopped by to pick up some control arms for a customer so he's alive and kicking. He said the site was shut down for some maintenance. -J
A progressive spring can still be load tested to see what the true rating is. The gap between rates is pretty high, base rate is probably 200 or...
Not sure where the confusion is but TCI will sell the pedal assembly only. Give Tim at Tim's Hot Rods a call and he'll take care of you. (509)...
How long are the bars right now(center to center)? If memory serves me well they should be around 21" -J
The springs will settle a little also. Final ride height will place the lower control arm parallel to the ground. It's hard to tell in this...
Thanks Don! How's the Falcon coming along? Are you taking it to Del Mar this weekend? -J
