irs actually looking a little odd theres tons of space on the picture , where are the reartises rubbing ?
if its the back you prolly can mount some spacers and be done with it

The bed isnt centred, I need to move it 1/2 inch over to the left. That might solve the problem.

Ride is much better with taller tires.

those low profile tires can beat you kidneys to death :D

5000kms, isn't that equivalent to about 40 miles? :D:D:D
nice truck by the way...

Great thread My Project 56Chevy! I have seen numerous threads on this topic and never see anyone address my question below.

I am preparing to install a 75 camaro sub frame in my 57 Chevy 3100. I am wondering if you adjusted your positioning of the sub frame to the original frame to have the caster be close to nominal before laying your welds? With my sub frame sitting level on jack stands, I have about -2 degrees of caster. I believe that it should be at least +3 degrees at ride height? Just trying to figure all of this out prior to committing to cutting my frame!

I hope it makes sense what i am trying to ask!?
