Love the way this is coming out

CSoliz · 10-20-2010, 11:23 PM

hardwaa, how were your rear notches custom made? Is it because you moved your crossmember back?

hardwaa · 10-20-2010, 11:55 PM

I gave nate a template with dimensions and he cut them on his CNC plasma table I welded them together. I did not want any bigger notch than was necessary. Since my truck was not built to " LAY FRAME", I wanted to minimize the amount I had to raise the floor.

This was before he had his rear trailing arm kit. I would recommend talking to nate im sure he has what you need.

hardwaa · 10-21-2010, 12:04 AM

just for fun.

Dinos63 · 10-21-2010, 12:06 AM

It makes perfect sense. Thanks. I am in the same boat, i don't want monster notches or too lay frame. It looked like yours wasn't as tall as other notches I have seen from Nate, I wasn't sure though. Your truck is sick, I want to achieve the same stance as yours (at ride height). Nothing like these old trucks riding low, just looks right.

Thanks again for the reply and message.

All dressed up and nowhere to go. Getting ready to go to SUPERCHEVY today with The PUSHER and noticed a big wet spot under my daily square. Water pump must have started leaking yesterday. Squares probally jealous that I was not taking it to SUPERCHEVY. So put square in "Timeout". Now thats it is coolen off been waiting for excuse to pull fastback out and put back in dailydriver status.Did not go to SUPERCHEVY spent the morning cleaning up fastback and garage.

Nice work on the bed floor! Also, nice motor layout. Little stock, little custom. I am doing the same for mine.

**rideblue00** · 11-06-2010, 07:57 PM

I forgot to ask, are you using a proportioning valve for your brakes? I am considering a dual master setup and was wondering if you have to have one.

fryer1979 · 11-06-2010, 09:45 PM
