1948 Chevy project

[Root2812]

Looks pretty good. I just finished installing my fatman IFS. Its a project but aren't the results worth it?

I also got a free explorer rear. How are you planning to install yours? I picked up the TCI rear leaf kit and Have to modify it slightly since the explorer rear has larger axle tubes.

Was not sure on what to do yet. I was also looking at a TCI kit. Keep me posted on how it goes. I still have time.

Will do. I'm hoping for next weekend but I don't know if I can get it done then. My rear end is behind the building under 3 feet of snow with some big snow banks in the way. It will happen this spring for sure. To make the kit work I already ordered 3.25 inch u-bolts to replace the 3 inch ones the kit came with, larger axle perches for on the tubes, and I still have to modify the plate that holds the leafs to the perches. I'll let you know how it goes.

Well this might be the slowest build ever, but since it is my first time I just keep chipping away at it. Here is the front end almost completely installed. Have to do springs, brakes, and few minor things. Then on to the rear next.
