Re: My new Beater 1959 GMC
Nicely centered wheel. Check all the angles, tack, recheck before welding in. Digital level is really handy.
Antidive angle on top control arm pivot
Lower control arm angles from front and side at ride height. What I do is extend the pivot shaft out through the front and place long level or straight edge between them, then digital torpedo level on top of that to ensure side to side on crossmember is level. Then torpedo level on one shaft at a time to get the fore to aft level. Then level the lower cross member side to side. Then check the upper control arm for side to side angle.a slight angle down to frame may be ok, up to you.it affects tire lean as suspension cycles. So tire doesnt hit fender.
Anyway, it looks like you researched before starting. Keep posting up pics as you go. Maybe get some of us slackers off the couch.
