Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
FastEddie, I'm with you, brother. I have a C&C that I'm gonna use for a ProStreet 454SS clone build. After I tried to figure out some configuration that would allow me to run wider tires, etc. with the stock chassis, I stumbled onto a C&C and I think it solved my problems. According to my preliminary measurements, the rear axle on a SWB should be centered between the two cross braces, giving a perfect spot for coilovers. Here's a pic, taken while I was standing on the gas tank at the back of the chassis.
The front yardstick represents where the axle should be, the T-square is just about where the frame rails will be cut. As an added bonus, the C&C's have the narrowest of the 14-bolt full floater axles, 4X4 and rock crawler guys love 'em and will pay for 'em. I bought my C&C with a dead engine in it, sold the NV4500 for $350 more than I paid for the entire truck and still have a good roller 350 block. I'm still selling parts off of it, I hope to have enough for rearend narrowing and 4-link parts. It looks like I'll be able to run the 1-ton front control arms with 1/2 ton spindles, just need to replace the spring, etc. |

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Since I haven't heard of progress on the crew it may be the Ford again!
Hey if it comes down to that you can borrow the Sierra to pull it up there. Last edited by JohnC; 02-10-2010 at 03:21 PM. |
