Re: Yet another GMC build
Since I cut a brace out to move the tank, making another brace above the tank. Sway bar and links in now. Look at the back of the notch and you’ll see that I bent some 3/4 emt and welded it in before I closed the notch. I can put wiring from the frame rail through rather than around the notch. Did that on both sides.

Re: Yet another GMC build
Loooks good.
Canadian hotrods frames have all the electrical, brake and fuel lines run inside their boxed frames. Good idea I guess, it keeps it clean looking. If there were a problem I guess the frame could be opened up or the problem circuit could be ran on the outside. |

Re: Yet another GMC build
Bed is back on. Still need wiring and brake lines, and to build a bed cover to hide the ugly. Realizing now that I’ll likely be adding lots of weight which will likely offset any benefit of being a couple inches lower. The rear view already looks better. I have always hated how the gas tank hangs WAY below the roll pan. And I had a frame rail that drooped and required spacers, and I fixed that. Hopefully the sway bar helps. And the rear frame is definitely stiffer now. We’ll see how it turns out.
