Re: 1961 Crew Max
Quick update. Got a 2003 denali rear axle. We were able to take all the brake parts off and with the purchase of new weld on flanges now have 13" rotors with dual piston aluminum calipers and internal E-brake. You can probably use this setup on anything with a 3" axle housing or bigger if you run 17's or larger. The other good thing is we were able to reuse the massive 1 1/8" rear sway bar with no modifying. We are going to make some mounts to weld onto the outside of the frame to reinforce the end link mounts. Only had to buy adjustable end links and bushings and straps. I think this would also be able to be used on factory trailing arms.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Nice so all the brake parts are from a Denali?

Re: 1961 Crew Max
I am sure you are on top of this, but does the "hoop" in the sway bar interfere with the drive shaft when it is fully aired up? It is hard to tell in the pics.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
^^ I was wondering about that as well, seems like when the axle moves away from the frame the Swaybar will pivot on the bushings and rotate causing the loop to come upwards towards the driveshaft. But maybe there's something we're missing.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
The sway bar is very close at fully aired up. We have it set right now to be parallel at ride height. we still have some adjustment. At fully aired out the ends are about 4" from hitting the ground. Now if I wasn't running the bigger firestone F9100 bags it would probably be fine. We started Getting ready to mock up some exhaust from the down tube on the turbo and quickly realized we had to cut it and rotate it to be able to fit the V-band. The 4" stainless will just clear the top of the frame and travel along the outside of the frame next to the cab supports with some minor cutting. More pics will come soon. CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max
I loved building my exhaust, gets you excited to hear what it will sound like.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
We got started on running the 4" stainless over the weekend. We cut and rotated the end of the down pipe to aim it right over the frame.The factory stainless flange that connects to the down pipe was re-used with a v-band. We only used 2 fittings to get it to the outside of the frame. Had to modify the front cab support just a bit to keep everything above the rockers. Now waiting on A couple more v-bands and A weld in flex pipe at each end. The exhaust pass through is made by Goliath Exhaust and will be just in front of the back tire at the bottom of the bed side. More to come CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Well just wrapping up a few things before we blow this thing apart. Cut down oil pan and pickup tube to keep it above the frame rails. Finished the exhaust out the bed side. Lots of final welding once its of the frame. CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Very nice! I love the V bands too. I got a bunch off ebay for my 40. I hope they don't turn out to be garbage.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Yesterday was a fun day. We finally got the big girl outside to stretch out. The side view makes this think look really long. We couldn't even push it from the gravel back to the shop. Had to pull it back in with the tractor. Decided to do something different and welded the headlight trim rings to the grill and closed up the holes. I guess were getting to the next phase of a quick re- blast and epoxy the whole thing. I brought the motor/trans and bed home to do some cleaning and fit the bed wood. I really don't want to pull this motor apart but want to get it clean. I've read a lot of good results with simple green automotive so I'm going to try that first. Lots of welding to do on the frame still but that will be after body work is mostly done and before paint. Thanks everyone for checkin this WTF did I get myself into build. CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max
If it makes you feel better I can't push mine either. Have you measured how long it is?
