ccsb questions
 

When you guys shorten your frame what do you do on the driveshaft?
Do you stay with a two piece or do you go to a one piece?

Also when installing mid 80's suburban seats do you need any brackets out of the burb other than the tracks?

Thanks

anybody?

You will probably have to stay with a 2 piece drive shaft. Check with whoever is going to make or cut your drive shaft, but I believe if the drive shaft is going to be over 70" they recommend staying with a 2 piece. With a CCSB, yours should be over 70". Hope this helps.

I was hoping i could use a 1 piece, guesse i will wait and measure it after i get the frame done.
Thanks

Thanks and i love your truck really inspired me to get started on one.

Swapping burb/blazer buckets into a truck that had a bench seat does require inner bracket stanchions to keep the inside of the bucket seat level w/the outside. These could be made w/some steel plate bent up to the right dimensions or you can knock-out/cut them off of the floorpan from the donor vehicle.
