You realize your opening up a can of worms raising the crossmember more than 1.5" don't you? You will have to mod the steering too....

bagged74 · 02-24-2005, 11:36 PM

I dont think it is physically possible to lay doors without a body drop. There is only so much room.

bodydropped · 02-25-2005, 09:33 AM

yep i know what all i have to do i talked to a guy that did it

TIMSPEED · 02-25-2005, 02:39 PM

FWIW,
My new PST Cab/Body bushings ARE as thick as Hockey Pucks. Why don't you just Z the frame, instead of doing a Xmember drop?
IIRC, there's someone on here that has a 73-77 C10, and bagged it and he was laying rocker, and all he did was take out his mount bushings, and replace them with .25" thick pieces of polyurethane.

You don't need to go with a Camaro clip. That's way more work than it's worth. If you want to lay out, Z the frame at the firewall, then drop the front back down for bumper mounts.

If you raise the crossmember more than 1.5" it requires a lot more work to get everything correct....

**N2TRUX** · 02-25-2005, 03:44 PM

2......

**N2TRUX** · 02-25-2005, 03:45 PM

Ta da....

**N2TRUX** · 02-25-2005, 03:47 PM

I can't remember the exact combo Correy used here, but I'm pretty sure it was just a Z'd frame...

bodydropped · 02-25-2005, 03:50 PM

i seen that truck at the lake charles show i want to do a z frame but its up in the air right know but i want to build a sir galahad replica out of this one

**N2TRUX** · 02-25-2005, 03:53 PM

Don't build a replica, buy that one from your Dad.

Just kidding. Dude, just get your Dad involved. He knows what to do with it. He's been building them low for years. The only thing new to him is the air bags....

bodydropped · 02-25-2005, 03:56 PM

Tell him he better get busy then if he's going to help you do all that.

Yeah, that Camaro is still in my garage, but it's not as nice as his truck. I sold it a few years ago and it sat in storage for a lot of years. All the chrome was rusted, and the interior was destroyed....

This is what it looked like then-

**N2TRUX** · 02-25-2005, 04:04 PM

This is what it looked like after 7 years of storage....

loweredd · 02-28-2005, 08:17 PM

You wont be able to do it by changing the body mounts, trust me.

bodydropped · 03-01-2005, 09:38 AM
