Re: Lower a 49 rolling OG chassis?
nice score man, welcome to the fray!
your truck looks like a longbed, did you get the short bed with the deal on the chassis? start a project thread in the projects section and dont be afraid to ask questions, we dont bite. much.

that would have been my suggestion! If I can make a second suggestion, save the old stake pocket you remove, and remove it carefully!

Re: Lower a 49 rolling OG chassis?
gotcha covered chad, sounds like a monster runner too, I knew those full length headers and cherry bombs would sound great!
I was on the old savard website today and found your wheels on their 1992 competition truck, nostalgia was had

Re: Lower a 49 rolling OG chassis?
That is great. Always a feeling of accomplishment when you get behind the wheel for a ride! Nice.

Re: Lower a 49 rolling OG chassis?
chad sent a couple videos. remember that at the beginning of this year, this was just a rolling chassis!
I love the skinny wheel look, I am going with 15x6 or 16x5 on my 41.

Re: Lower a 49 rolling OG chassis?
When using the g body style rearend with upper and lower control arms go with coil overs and ditch the springs.. Ride is allot better.. At least that is what is done on my truck..I am running an 02 SS Camaro rear with disk brakes, 3:73 gears.
