Re: Mike's 66 C10 Short Step Build

you lowered or raised the truck so you will need to adjust your Panhard bar and center your wheels again...

Thanks for your reply. I don't believe the truck has ever been lowered as it still has the original springs in it and is pretty much original. Today I measured from the each rear wheel to the frame and I get the same measurement on both sides so the rear is centered. When I measured from the frame to the outside of the box that's where it's off from one side to the other. I think because the bed is so rotted it's no longer centered on the frame. Going to double check the rear is centered when the box comes off tomorrow.

I'm sure its the rotten wood in your bed but I had a truck that the rear was to one side and the panhard bar was bent S shaped . Straightened out and it was fine.. You might look at yours.

Thanks for your reply! I'll take a look at mine. It looked pretty straight. I did notice that all the rubber bushings are shot so that could have an effect on it also. Got

Got my new (new to me) rust free hood from CA today from a fellow member here on the forum! Looks great. A few dents here and there but ZERO rot! One step closer!!
