Re: PROJECT "Father/Son" C-20 Rolling Chassis Build
Update on the 6.0/4L80E
Ordered xmember from POL. Nice looking part.... However, the ends would not fit between frame rails. Real tight and I wasn't about to force anything. Soooooo, cut off top section to do fit up.  Next raised trans up to correct 2 degree angle and.............  Yes, 4L80E hits the cab floor (with short hump). This sucka is big...    So after some cursing decision made to next cut out/raise section of floor. Yes, I had that annoyed look going again. Also, need to fabricate another X member. Although the POL xmember is nice it will need about a 1" spacer and that's simply too much. Custom x member will likely start with 3" tube..... Oh well...... |

Re: PROJECT "Father/Son" C-20 Rolling Chassis Build
Ok, thanks. I grew up in Spring Valley, near SanDiego as a kid. I remember a lot of hot rods back then in the neigborhood.

Re: PROJECT "Father/Son" C-20 Rolling Chassis Build
Been busy lately with other family things (all good) but we are preparing for the next phase of this project. To make the job easier of removing the cab and bed we ordered the plans from Kevin.
Here's the picture of the finished cab/bed lift.  Next, I designed a body/bed dolly. It's built for dual purposes. To support any car or truck frame of a project under construction. It's completely adjustable and can be moved around the garage. OR Using the uprights (which bolt in and are adjustable) to support the bed and cab of our C20. While we work on the fuel, brake lines, driveline, exhaust, etc.......Yes, this was more work than I intended to do. But I'm really happy with how they came out. Can't wait to try them. I'm even thinking of renting these tools out in the future to truck forum people in the SF bay area...

Re: PROJECT "Father/Son" C-20 Rolling Chassis Build
After much preperation we jumped on it with the help of Joe, a friend of Justin's.
The game plan was to remove the bed and cab (using the one man lift) and place them on the dollies we fabbed up. Then I went to work on installing the Tanks Walbro in tank pump into the aluminum tank. Justin & Joe worked on bending the 3/8" SS supply and return fuel lines. Oh, and I did get the tube straightener. Works like magic making coils straight as an arrow. Check out the pics..... I LOVE this tool.....  Dollies ready to work!  Lift the bed. Could have used a longer boom....  Bed in place and easy to move....  Next comes the cab...  Hey, easy job with the right tool...Say, I heard this joke....  Now how do I make this bender work? Note: These lines are nearly 10' straight as a friggin arrow prior to bending  Meanwhile, no sweat for the old man to cut a 4.5" hole in this $500 gas tank.  More holes needed...  Joe taking a break while I'm working. Always clowning  Those guys did a pretty good job. Still need short lines fabbed for up and over the C notch, flare everything 37 degree and secure them to the frame with nice "made for you" clamps....  Final shot after clean-up. A good day's work...

Re: PROJECT "Father/Son" C-20 Rolling Chassis Build
I went by there the other day to check up on these guys ....
I must say, the job they did on the fuel lines was AWESOME !! Very nice, crisp quality bends !! I was impressed. They used nice clamps, drilled and tapped the frame, to make that a nice and clean, sanitary install !! Good Job Rich and Justin !!!!
