Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
How much drop are the Hotchkiss springs you ordered? I see they have a 4" drop front spring...curious how that would work

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
I called Hotchkis about that very thing.. it is a 2" spring with a big block, 1.875" on my small block. So 2.5 on the spindles + a little less than 2 on the spring. I agree they are listed as a 4" spring on some websites (?)
Im building this gmc for a driver and something I could autocross too if I wanted. I really like a road feel and plan on beating on this truck occasionally. ![]() Even with the column shift .. yes. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Going up tomorrow to work on it.
![]() I have to put brakes on my wife's RSX in the morning but around lunch I'm going to pull the seat out and put the new carpet and sill plates in it. I'll post up some more pics soon. I bought some polished stainless strips and bolts for the wood bed conversion (67Cheby, thank you my brotha!) I need a seat cover, door panels, bed wood and fender well bolts and I'm finished making it purdy. By that time my drop stuff will be in hopefully. The bed is looking really good. It might have to sit on jack stands for a week or so once I get the brakes on, etc. It will more than likely be either C57's or the polished Coys C5. My big brake (modular) kit might move the track width around a little bit so once I get it all on and at ride hight I'm going to measure with the Wheelrite and just call and get them at that point. Honestly the budget is a bit tapped for a few weeks but yeah .. I could have gotten disk / drum .. but I just like the looks of the 4 wheel discs. AND, .. they will get used, I promise. ![]() I have some 20's just laying around too .. I might have to borrow those for a minute. (the offset is all wrong of course but it will get the truck on the ground if needed)

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
If the budget allows I might do the Centerlines I posted prior.. well see. I just have to park this truck outside and dont want to put 4k into wheels I cant keep up.. or drive daily.
Yeah, me too Jonathan. It already looks like a different truck. The drop and wheels will give it a whole new personality Thanks all. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
RSX - New binders = happy wifey
![]() I have some bad news though. When I bough the truck it had about a 12x14" square galvanized plate that had been screwed onto the floor. I never really knew why so Dad and I took it off today to find out. You can't see any rust through from the bottom so we were expecting a little surface rust from the top maybe? The carpet had been removed too so maybe the jute padding kept it wet for a few years? Who knows .. I found some HUGE rust problems. I think I'm gonna sell this cab.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Accidentally posted one twice.. sorry.
New carpet, sill plates and door seals (prameter rubber) going in hopefully one day this week. We're expecting 102-105 degree heat in TN over the next few days + the humidity it is brutal to even be outside.

Nice, nice, nice.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Is it a big deal to lower the seat?
In all seriousness .. I had thought about it. Didn't Keith lower the one in Hazel ? Is there a write up on it ? I was just sitting in it so dad and I could roll it out of the garage. We had the battery cable off when we pulled the seat just incase of a wire short, or something in the sending unit, etc. The truck is running and driving now and is dependable we're just making it sharp inside and finishing up the bed.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
n2billet is the seat lowering expert.
I was in the process of making a jig to keep all the floor and seat "bolt holes" in line,... so I can cut mine down. I haven't finished the process yet. I think about 1" in front of the bracket,... and 1-1/2"-2" in the rear of the bracket,... puts a comfortable rake into the seat.
