Re: progress pics
Jared, I'm definitely interested in seeing pics of that as I'm getting ready to put my 1.5" sectioned crossmember in my 67.

Re: progress pics
hey XXL, how much is your crossmember sectioned? Do you have pics of the steering clearance "problem areas"?
|
Re: progress pics
I am going out to work on my truck right now. I will get some pics for you guys in a bit..

Re: progress pics
Here are f ew pictures of my steering set up. Worked great for a few thousand miles already accept for the steering shaft. It used to have a rag joint but I have since replaced it with a second u joint. My crossmember is sectioned 1.75" and my steering is raised 1.75" as well. I also lowered my cab mounts 1". The tilt column is out of an early 70's gm van and I raised it up as much as I could by cutting into the firewall. Everything works well and there are no signs of cracking...

Re: progress pics
XXL or anyone else who has done this crossmember mod, have you noticed any negative (or positive) effects on the bump steer? Jared, I'm sure yours is the same as before since you raised your linkage also.

Jared, thanks for the pics. Makes sense now. Josh |
Re: progress pics
XXL, did you have "less" problems because you have tubulars?? Hmmmm
|
Re: progress pics
OK, something else to throw into the equation. Porterbuilt moved the centerline of the front suspension forward one inch to center the tire in the wheelwell. Has anybody reinstalled their stock crossmeber forward one inch?
|
Re: progress pics
I did mine 1 1/8 and I still had the problems that XXL is talking about. My bump steer is bad with out a sway bar. And there was some grinding on the X-member and steering components.

Re: progress pics
oh ya, I moved my motor up and forward, I dont remember how much though...
|
Re: progress pics
Looks like I have some grinding to do not bad though..

Re: progress pics
Finished my lower control arm mod. Came out really nice. Here are some pics of each step.

Re: progress pics
just wondering what the advantage of this was? does it distibute the force better than just welding a cup into your cut hole?
|
Re: progress pics
Looks like the bag will sit a little lower and not rub on the control arm.
