OK here is where some of my issues lie. Here is the shock part i mentioned. the bottom does not fit.

[1963chevyshort]

Second is the angle on the new panhandle bracket chase gave me.

[1963chevyshort]

And last is for Nathan on the Bracket for the front shocks. I am lost on this one and need some guidiance. Thanks,

[1963chevyshort]

Well everyone here you go. I would say the kit is easy as for bolt on but when you hit a snag it really sucks. We will see how this rear kit preforms. I hope it is work with all the headaches it gave me.

[283 Man]

Good luck hope everything works out for you.Sharp looking truck you have. .

[1963chevyshort]

Thanks 283. Alot of money and alot of time lol

[David Flores]

[1963chevyshort]

Thanks David. Now can anyone give me some ideas on some wheels. I want to go with 20's.

Anthony-

Trucks looking great! A long time coming... I know! Is the diameter for the lower rear shock mounting stud just too big for the shock? It should be a simple a fix, most likely with a new stud. I will get a hold of you tomorrow on the front shock mounts. It's a little easier to explain in conversation!

I am unsure on the panhard bracket... Chase will be the one to talk to on that. It looks like a lot of angle, but that may be how it is designed to work.

Keep us posted on the updates... as for wheels, what styles do you like? Old school? New school? 80's?

[Dinos63]

Lookin good,20s and 22s, are you going bridge the rear? if not 18S and 20S

nice work

Dino, I think i want to keep the bed in take and do like i think GMC58 did with some mini tubs but do not know yet. I currently have the short bump stops so we will see how the bed sits on the back and then i will be able to see if i need to cut into the bed or not.

Nathan,

Looking for a different new look. The truck is going to be painted a arizona gold with a pearl white top (maybe). i keeping it a stepside so that is why i was thinking on the mini tubs. I have some friends at Nathaniel high performance that are going to do the 13" brakes. The are going to design the brackets so i can put wilwood in the front as i have them in the back. Once the kit is done, I will get the price for everyone who wants this kit. Thanks all for the compliment.

[1963chevyshort]

Thanks Lowride and 72blckbuty. It is taking time but it is getting there.
