coopdeville · 10-30-2008, 12:06 PM

i finally decided to z the front frame on my 71 chassis. i am looking for some pics on where to cut and how far to lay frame. i will be running a 18 in wheel with 40 series tires and no inner fender wells. help me out!!!

coopdeville · 10-30-2008, 06:53 PM

nobody?

jrods70 · 10-30-2008, 07:03 PM

i cut mine about 3inch behind the shock mounts on frame and right behind the core support in front. I did a 1inch secion in crossmember and 2 in frame but i also have 3inch drop spindles. i lay on a 28inch tire in front but currently running a 27inch. I don't have much room with the 5.3 intake and hood after the z though.

You got trucks with your paint work on them featured in magazines and you can't afford $25?

coopdeville · 11-01-2008, 10:05 AM

so you guys move the steering box with the crossmember? do you need to use a different radiator?

56fleetside · 11-01-2008, 10:17 AM

Yes steering goes up with Z section and stock radiator works fine altho on right side i angle the plate back some for hose clearance.

coopdeville · 11-01-2008, 11:53 AM

cool thats what i was thinkin!! cant wait to get it done! i will post some pics of the ride soon!

coopdeville · 11-01-2008, 12:01 PM

so the radiator drops down with the core support? any problems with the stock rad close to steering box?

56fleetside · 11-01-2008, 02:27 PM

No problems on left side at all other than steering shaft hitting upper arm u can either notch it like the owner had me do or use universals, d shaft and a heim and make steering rod clear arm
