Clutch pedal raising cab?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting my truck put all back together, I put the Zbar back in and put the clutch linkage in. The Pedal is stiff but nothing unusual, but I noticed from the engine bay when having a helper press the clutch it's actually lifting the cab a little! Should be clutch be that stiff? It's an 84' K10, SM465 with mech linkage.

You have the front clip on? I noticed this on my stepside as well and my freinds did on thier trucks as well. The cab bushings are only rubber and the frame is pretty flexible too. Nothing to get to worried about. But if it bothers you energy suspension sells a body bushing kit for $75? I think. You will have to buy or re use your original hardware though.

I feel a bit better now. I have the front fenders in but no inner fenders or core support yet. I think I'll start slowly collecting everything for a hydraulic swap, I loved it on my '85.
