Re: 1986 Chevy C10 SWB Step Side

Truck is back home tonight from alignment shop, exhaust install, and front clip install, with good news on the "caster modification" . The caster is now plus 6 degrees, a max of 6.64. The original modification was a move of 5/8 to 3/4 of an inch. May be a while before a driving report will be available to complete "caster modification" report, because of the winter weather. Will post image of alignment report. Below are earlier photos of modifications.

A more detailed discussion of caster modification is detailed earlier in build. The bottom photo shows how much the bottom control arm was moved forward, by changes in the shaft holes. In this photo, middle shaft is the origional shaft positioning holes. The lower shaft in photo, is the modified one, by rotating shaft 180 degrees and drilling new holes, that move the lower control arm forward. Please read earlier discussion for more complete explanation of changes. Also, their are other good discussions, that reference this change.
