Thank you for the very informative explanation. I read it several times and will probably read it a few more to be able to grasp everything.
I was thinking of that, but it gets awfully close to the gas tank. I am going to have to reinstall the tank and check for clearance. That’s...
Thank you !! I didn’t know that
Hello everyone, I did a search ,but having some troubles confirming my set up. I am putting a c10 truck arm setup in my 53 bel air. I have...
Getting closer , but I’m still trying to figure some things out. I’m not looking to notch the car or cut into the trunk and I am at about 3” from...
I unbolted the front crossmember for the armies to day and prepped it for final installation. I welded extensions onto the crossmember because...
I have been chasing my tail for a bit , but finally think I made some progress. I realized that picking the car up and down that even though I...
Got a little more done today. I set up the pipe screw jacks and locked them in place with some wood so they can’t shift. They still wiggle a...
I have the cross member , but had to section about 3/4” out of it. The axle saddles I bought some new ones and also about 12” of dom tubing that I...
auto correct got me . I have seen your input on several of these suspensions and have learned quite a bit from it !
I have the crossmember and the pan hard from the c10. I don’t think the pan hard will work though. Hopefully I don’t have to shorten the arms....
Hung plum bobs off the rear end and measured to the steel bar that was in line with the plumb bobs coming from the middle of the car. I came...
I figured I would post this on here to give a little update on a question I asked about solving a problem with the diameter of the rear end. My...
Not offended one bit and I’m sure there are plenty of people that know a lot more than me. I see a pretty consistent haze on the backside and see...
Thanks for the input. Exactly as you described is the plan. The axle saddles are only tacked to the tubing right now , but I will weld it better...
I’m following this. Great find !!
Figured I would update on this. I had to take a little over a 1/16 out of the tubing and it fits great on the axle when I split them. I bent up...
This truck is damn nice and you are really doing a great job.
Im not sure if it’s the same, but very well could be. I bought lowering springs years ago that I put some miles on and never had that bang. Then...
I also could have never stopped driving it about 12 years ago if I didn’t decide to chop it. I enjoy going out to the garage and working on my car...
I forget what I’m running, but I can check. I’m running wider tires than original because up front I have a mustang II and the original wheels...
this is a great idea that is pretty simple ,but I would never have thought of it unless I had done this several times and learned a few tricks....
If I remember correctly I think it’s around a 90. It’s a disc brake rear with a posi and I’m wondering if I can swap the pinion and gear into the s10
My free rear seems to have a problem, I drained the oil and it looks like a piece of the pinion or ring gear broke. I picked it up because it was...
I have done a few parallel 4 bars and a mustang II, but not a suspension like this. Every thing is still together on them. I’m not looking to...
That bang scared the hell out of me. The car was used quite a bit and had new leaf springs put on for about 2000 miles. Then I decided to chop it...
I actually have 16” of it I picked up on eBay for about $25. I just want to make sure this is a good option before I started.
I’m not sure that’s possible, The arms are set for the u bolt size from the larger diameter axle. The arms are two channels welded together and...
It’s what I have. If people don’t think welding tubing to add to the diameter is a good idea I will try to locate an explorer rear end that is...
It was a crazy noise, but I had me and a buddy jump on the bumper (under 400 lbs) and the loud bang came again. I was going a bit crazy for a...
