I have also heard that it should be measured at ride height ...not sure which is correct though. I could not lower my engine or the rack would hit.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

I think you will have the same gap as I currently do when you swap to the Fbody pan. What tranny are you running? I'm using a 4L60E. Right now I'm setting everything back up the way I had it when I first did my measurements, and rechecking everything.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

I'm using a 700r4 trans.....that sounds like a good plan , hope it all works out.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Thanks! When are you swapping your pan out? I got the new motor trusses and will try to get them installed this weekend.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Read the thread the other day and guess I got caught up on pictures and forgot to post :lol:. Cool build for you and your son. I need to read your other build thread also. There's so many awesome builds and so much info on this site I think my brain is going into meltdown :lol:

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

not sure how I missed this one....sweet project...any updates?

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

New transmission mount and drive line is done. Might be putting this up for sale.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Looks good! I hope you don't sell it!

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Lord only knows what you have in store.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Wish I was closer. I would love to have this project!

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Why do you wanna sell it?

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Wait, what are you selling? The drivetrain or the entire project?

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

I thought that he might want to sell the old tranny mount when I first read the post...?

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

I think it may be the entire project.

Re: Project "Shifted"

Just thinking about moving on to something that is a little more "new driver" friendly

Not 100% sure yet.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Dang brother. This is a great starter truck for a new driver:(
I totally understand. I have two kids myself. It was tough handing over the keys to both of them. BTW, they both drive chevy trucks...just saying.

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

this is the second time this has happened to me, I read an entire thread that I hadn't seen and when I get to the end, the truck is getting sold...... bummer. I say keep it, but I also know the thoughts that go through your head when you hand the keys over to someone.....

great build

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

It hasn't sold yet, so we'll keep working on it until it does or it's done, :D.

High hump is mounted, and the cab is back on.......looks like a truck now instead of a bunch of part, :metal:

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

So" you post your sons truck up for sale for motivation? Lol jk Good to see y'all are getting some work done. It's looking good!

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Cab looks great on there

Re: Project "Shifted"
 

Do you have a fleet side bed for it or will you sell it with the stepside bed?
