Finally got my powder coated chassis together - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Now the question is do I throw a body/motor on there and finish it?

what an eyesore, I would be glad to haul it off before the neighbors complain.

S10Fan · 03-06-2010, 05:02 PM

Darn right I'd cover it with a body, my gosh, ever heard of cleaning things?

Geshhhhh

That looks very nice. Is that a KP Cantilever on the rear?

BTW- Lets don't turn this in to a "For Sale" thread or it will get locked.

No the rear setup inlcudes a ***************** 4link with their panhard. Then the canitlever was all made using some parts they sell. The KP setup is similar but quite a bit different.

I will be sure to post a for sale thread in the correct section if I decide to sell. I am just looking for opinons at the time.

red02chevy · 03-06-2010, 05:51 PM

On the front suspension I used Ride Techs upper and lower control arms. When I got them I removed the bushings and balljoints and had the arms powder coated gloss black. Then I installed some Belltech 3" drop spindles, Slam RE7 bags, ***************** upper plates and Monroe shocks. I also have the Ride Tech muscle bar but haven't installed it yet. I also got some brake dust sheilds from CPP aswell as new rotors.

The rear setup is what you could consider a "custom" 6link. I used a ***************** 4link, their panhard and built the canti bars using other stuff they sell.

54Caddy · 03-06-2010, 06:32 PM

oh alrite about how much did all of that run you??

red02chevy · 03-06-2010, 06:55 PM

I bet the front suspension was close to $2500 before powder coating and the rear was probably $2000....That is just a quick guess.

LMDGUY · 03-06-2010, 07:51 PM

very nice!!

it would! it'd save me alot of time and money! and i could have my truck done sooner,

but idk if the budget can take that hit, hmmm, you just had to come along didnt you,

RuralRoute C-30 · 03-06-2010, 09:33 PM

All I can say is: Very nice!

Why get it all dirty with a motor and those other insignificant parts and fluids? Park it in the living room and enjoy staring at it!

Nice work in progress.

D.FENS · 03-06-2010, 11:35 PM

Put some big damn wheels on it and haul it to truck shows.

When people ask just say "yeah it's under construction".

Big wheels on this truck isn't something that I had planned. Keeping 15's on it,

Sorry, dont mean to hijack the thread, but can you run tubular a-arms with out bags? do they make ones not for bags?

The uppers aren't a problem at all. The lowers don't have a "bucket" for the spring so you would have to make a mount for them. May I ask why you'd want to do this?
