**PGSigns** · 10-11-2018, 06:37 AM

Couple of things I can think of from doing camaro sub frames in street rods in the 80's.
I assume it is all braced and welded. No bad flex in the frame.
Is the frame good and square and the suspension in the frame square?
What did you use for shocks?
What did you use for steering? Stock or a rack? If you modified the steering did you test it for ackerman angles and bump steer?
Did you put a front sway bar on it?
What alignment specs did it end up with?
Lastly post some more pictures of the truck and the over all setup.
