Re: 56 made2drag
i cut 14.5 inches out of the long wheel base frame to make it the same as a swb 76 c10.
keeping it the stock specs as a swb c10 lets me keep a stock swb driveshaft in it (when i get a c10 rearend), but from what i have read there will be a 3 inch gap between the bed and cab because a stock swb 76 wheelbase is 3 inches longer than a swb 56. i think since i flipped the axle on top of the leaf spings and DIDNT drill a hole in the axle pad to move the rearend back 1 inch....i may have a 2 inch gap now between the bed and cab. i plan on moving the cab and fenders back 1 inch and the bed forward 1 inch to give me the right gap. or leave the cab and move the bed forward and have a 1 inch gap

Re: 56 made2drag
Nice work on shortening the frame.
IMHO you're going to have to make sure your rear tires are centered properly in the rear fenders for your bed placement and then adjust from there. Kim |

Re: 56 made2drag
You have more patience than I do.
I would be looking for replacement pieces if mine had that much rust and damage. Lets me know how fortunate I am with what I started with. You've got a real good start on it. Kim |

Re: 56 made2drag
Im hoping the I can buy the "front face" fender patches and make them work....at 72 bucks each, i'll hopefully get everything looking good up front. Still have alot to do in the fall...i want to do the step notch in the rear and then put the bed on to work on the cab placement then do brakes and steering and transmission....once i'm able to drive it then slam it...then do more body work...most people would do the bodywork first but if its driveable i feel i'll be more likely to work on it more often. once every couple months right now...
