Re: Gav's 64 Build
 

hey tommy

the truck seems pretty solid without them, but you're right they are a pretty serious piece of metal. i think the cab is plenty stiff without them. it may be a bid noisier since the panel is a bit less rigid over the distance from the floor to the upper panel but a little sound deadener should take care of that easy enough. but again as far as structure is concerned, i see no reason to worry.

oh and thanks for the ups strodder

I removed mine. I don't think it will effect the strength of the cab. They were just brackets.

Hey guys no progress on the sheetmetal as of yet but good news: i just nailed down a complete t56 changeover from a 2001 z28 for a grand with 65000 miles on it. i have to pull it but i just found out last night the car is inside on concrete. i thought i was going to be on my back all day... in coveralls... in december... in ohio. i'll post some pics for all you picture hounds as soon as i get it out. i'm was so excited last night i couldn't sleep. :)

well i got the tranny out, took 3 guys 4.5 hours. man what a PITA. unfortunately i cracked the bellhousing in the process, so thats going to have to be replaced. we got a bunch of snow last night so i can't even get the thing out of the truck or i'll never be able to get back up the hill that leads down to the shop. looks like i may have to carry this thing the whole way. thanks alot ohio, why must you fight me? i'll get some pics ASAP, i swear.
