Re: No Limit '72 C-10
Rob when are you guys going to install the rear bags on Project JT, you have convinced me that your rear shock relocator is the way I need to go along with 3 inch springs, however I like you want the option to carry a load or pull a trailer so there is no reason to put springs on then replace those with bags.

Re: No Limit '72 C-10
Hi Rob, Did you ever get a chance to check out the extended upper ball joints to get some camber gain? If I missed it, I apologize.

Re: No Limit '72 C-10
No problem. I've used them on others, but not yet on the JT. So far, we have the used upper arms on it. But, I can say with confidence that there is a gain hear, for cheap. If you need to replace yours, get the tall truck ball joints from Howe or the likes. You'll be glad you did. This weekend is the Great Labor Day Cruise in OC, we will be autocrossing there. Log in to our facebook for pict & video updates. Have a great weekend.

Re: No Limit '72 C-10
Our new C-10 front bar mount directly to the frame rail. If equipped, the factory standoff must go. the rivit connecting the frame rail to the front crossmember is removed, and then a 3/8" hole is drilled 3" behind on the rail.

Re: No Limit '72 C-10
With ridetech a-arms the sway bar link connects to the tab provided. the link is appx 9" long, long enough to get the bar up above stock style steering.

Re: No Limit '72 C-10
On a stock arm, you need to drill a 3/8" hole int he arm. This is an old tet pict-hence the nifty all thread.

Did you happen to get any exhaust routing shots while you had it on the lift.

Re: No Limit '72 C-10
I saw the article in Street Trucks about the suspension mods. Can you elaborate more on what you did for the front crossmember and for the mods to the rear frame? Pictures would be nice...
Thanks,

Now a cool longbed would have swallowed the majority of that frame.

What is that chassis going under? It looks awfully tall.

Re: No Limit '72 C-10
I didn't see it anywhere, but I am curious I want to set my 5.3 back further. Did you make your own engine stands or where can I purchase them?

Re: No Limit '72 C-10
With the crossmember up 1 1/2", it was easier just to make new mounts. The firewall is stock, but we set the motor back as far as we could.

Rob,
it was sure nice to get to meet you at the Good Guys Lone Star show in Fort Worth! It was humbling to know that you had some something to do with my El Camino. Thanks so much for signing my magazine, I will treasure it for as long as I can. Look forward to seeing more of Joe Touring, keep up the awesome support of the board and those of us who live thru your work. AC Ward

Re: No Limit '72 C-10
Hey Rob:
I am interested in using hydroboost unit. I have your front power steering rack (t bird, I think). I will be using a LS motor and what ever pump comes with it. Are there any adapters or anything that I will need to do? Doesn't Ford use lower pressure? |

I really like how you re-located the lower ball joint. I'll have to look into this. My question is, can you raise the anti-squat too much? Because the anti-squat lines with or without drop blocks would be different correct? So with say 2" drop blocks and flipped trailing arm mounts, is that going to be too much. Is it "more the merrier, or find the happy medium? |
