Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
Nice work man! my lower arms are actual chrome bagged arms from air ride tech so im not much help there. I might be able to get in there and get a pic with them all the way down so you can see but it might be difficult

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
The critical measurements you need are the measurements that keep your rear end square to the frame and the correct distance from the transmission. I designed my whole rear end in solidworks so mine is totally customand it wont help you much. Just remember to keep it square so your truck tracks strait down the road. Good luck!

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
any ideas on a cool set of motor mounts? the stock shell style just look boring to me? does anyone make a set of billet housings or something?

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
maybe use a rubber bushing (like a link bushing) and pipe, in a T shape, with a simple bracket on the motor, hell, I dont know.

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
Yeah, that is for an LS swap, but was the only picture I could find. I had a set on a muscle car back in the day, and came with their front subframe. I am sure you can fab up something off the frame to make these work.
Check out http://cachassisworks.com/ I bet they sell them as a pair by themselves. Chassisworks is actually the company that owns KP Components. |
