Here's my frame from my 1968 GMC I'm redoing that my grandpa bought new. I'm trying to figure my digital camera out.

lookin sweet! what are you plans for the truck

Bryan H · 01-27-2005, 11:35 PM

I was going to mini-tub it but have since changed my mind. I'm going to run Centerline Corona wheels 8" in front 9.5" in rear. 350/350 turbo, PS, PB, AC, Serpintine Set-up, Disc brakes, blazer tank in rear. I've got 2.5" dropped spindles with 1 coil cut of the springs and 4" dropped leafs on the rear. I'm planning running a 255/60/17 on front and 285/60/17 on rear. It will have a similar stance to Copperhead.
Thanks,
Bryan

Did you notch the frame in the rear? Did you have the rear leafs de-arched or did you buy special dropped springs? The reason I ask is that's what I want to do with mine but was afraid the axle tubes would bottom out on the frame rails. Thanks! By the way nice start on the truck

I ordered the dropped leafs from Early Classic Enterprises. They were not cheap. Seems they were about $370. I also swapped my shock mounts around so my shocks would not be too much on an angle.I have about 3" from my bump stops on the rear.

Nice start. Did you paint or powdercoat the frame?
