Re: My Project 56Chevy1300
56chevy1300 hasn't log on this site in a yr, but this is a sweet truck.
1300 is the canadian version of the 3100 1/2 ton trucks. what i find interesting is the fender mounted spare is located on the 1300 passenger side vs the drivers side on the 3100. must be a cunuck thing... i modified my fender mount to hold a 5 lug 8 inch rim, which makes the stock drivers mirror totally worthless. had i known the pass side mount was available, i'd have searched for one. i'd have the only pass mounted spare around

Re: My Project 56Chevy1300
it does make it eazier to find a fender without the dent in it for the spare
maibe it has to do with the local law , for a minute i figured they drove on the wrong side of the road but thats in australia

Re: My Project 56Chevy1300
maybe i should put two fender mounted spares on my truk...
the fender mounted spare was a dealer option. they ordered the fender & mount, tossed the stock fender. the factory assembly manual shows a 3/8'' shim for the rear axle to level the ride.

Re: My Project 56Chevy1300
My former brother in law had a NAPCO that had the mounts on both sides. Guess the guy was a serious off roader.

Re: My Project 56Chevy1300
Its been over 2 years since I've posted on this thread. Have almost 5000 kms on the truck. No mechanical issues. Handles and brakes well. Put bigger tires on (225/60 front and 255/60 rear). Have some rubbing issues in the back to fix. Painted interior dark grey metallic.

Re: My Project 56Chevy1300
Ride is much better with taller tires.

Re: My Project 56Chevy1300
irs actually looking a little odd theres tons of space on the picture , where are the reartises rubbing ?
if its the back you prolly can mount some spacers and be done with it

Re: My Project 56Chevy1300
The bed isnt centred, I need to move it 1/2 inch over to the left. That might solve the problem.

Re: My Project 56Chevy1300
those low profile tires can beat you kidneys to death
5000kms, isn't that equivalent to about 40 miles? nice truck by the way...
