Re: Future gasser '57 chevy
Looks awesome.
One more small suggestion: turndowns on your exhaust. I had my exhaust like yours for a while, and it coated the rear axle and shocks with soot from when the choke was on in the mornings. Also, the bed had exhaust soot because the soot came up through all the cracks, and I was cleaning the rear window frequently. Nice redo on the suspension. Looks more professional and stable. |

Re: Future gasser '57 chevy
Made some changes to the front steering to help eliminate steering wobble.
Installed a 1957 chevy passenger car steering arm on the passenger side, a 1984 S-10 pitman arm and center drag link from Speedway for the cross steering. Makes the truck steer alot better. Also added an all electric guage cluster panel purchased on Ebay. 509nat |

Re: Future gasser '57 chevy
That cross steering setup looks interesting, give us some more details please. What do I need to do that to my truck which currently has the same CPP kit that you started with. I don't think I'll ever be competely satisfied with it like it is now.
Your truck is a jewel. |

Re: Future gasser '57 chevy
509nat: Your truck looks great. Here's a coincidence, someone posted a gasser on eBay today. Not as nice lookin' as yours, but cool just the same. Have a look.
