here is a pic of how I lifted mine with an engine hoise, you could easily adapt that theory to a gantry

You have a good point, my rear cab corners are a little rusty. didnt think the weight would be that much to distort. good looking out.

The rears are roughly 1.5" off on backspace, the fronts are closer but about .5" off. That would be some big spacers.

At least comparing them to the Revolver.

Front: 245/40--ZR 19-----8" wheel-----Wheel has 4¼ inch backspace

Rear: 245/45—ZR 20----8.5" wheel-----Wheel has 4 inch backspace

J, is the parking brake bar suppose to fit in the hole on the frame wing right where the front cab mount goes? Right now the body eating on that and is not able to sit flush on to the frame. Not sure if I need to remove it, or just res
Adjust it more.

If you're talking about the factory parking brake assembly, it won't clear. Give Evan a call, he said that Lokar makes a cable adapter.

For my ‘51 on a TCI chassis I used a generic AC Delco Park brake pedal with Wilwood cables at the rear and a custom Control Cables front cable to connect it all.

Thanks you guys. Cut it out yesterday, also trimmed the inner fender wells now it sits flush. Just have to drill out the shackles to fit the enlarged bolts.

I'm currently building a 72 C10 frame up and finished bolting on Fatmans Fab IFS. My dilemma is finding frame stands for the motor mounts, as the originals I have interfere with the rack and pinion stem. I'm running an L6 292, which utilize factory SB mounting points. Other than custom building, are there any other bolt on options your aware of?

this thread is 5 years old.... start a new thread with your question, sir (after searching the vast amounts of info, of course)

[shoveland]

I'm new to this site, pls step me thru your reply, Thx!

Old dead thread where sometimes your question gets lost in the mix as anytime you open a long dead thread the original question gets responded to and a lot of guys do not look at the last page and your queston is lost. Right now if I were in the market and had the money I would go with one from fatman that had the upright mounts for the upper A arms that use shims. Those will stay in alignment and the alignment tech will appreciate it to no end.

Presumably you are building a complete '72 truck. Or are you building a '72 chassis to do a swap for your '47-'59 truck? If it's the first, then please post your question here, https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...splay.php?f=38

If it's the second, the swap, then please start a new thread here https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...splay.php?f=38
