Re: 1958 fleetside air ride build
I didn't know that they make a rear floor panel. Can you please share where you found it at?
Thanks |

Re: 1958 fleetside air ride build
thanks guys.
Crash, it was from a complete lower floor pan. my buddy need the front half, I just needed the rear. worked out perfect. I will say that replacing just the rear half, your going to have issues with the stamping. I had to modify that back section where the cab mounts are to make everything line up. I do have a used section from a parts cab already cut if your interested. let me know.

Re: 1958 fleetside air ride build
dropped in scotts hotrod crossmember. I used TCI's ifs measurements for aligning the centerline. it moved the wheels 1 inch forward to better fit the fenders. I measured 20 7/8s from the original front leaf spring mounting hole to get the new center line.

Re: 1958 fleetside air ride build
flipped the lower control arms upside down and placed a rear center mark in the rear of the frame to take some cross measurements. I was within 1/16ths between the two control arms. Should have some more updates tomorrow. I think I got it close enough to weld it in.

Re: 1958 fleetside air ride build
thanks guys. got the crossmember welded in. atleast the tops and sides. I will weld in the bottom when I flip the frame over. I also picked up a 5.3 LT direct injection motor out of 2014 Silverado. it was a complete pull out with 6l80e trans and computer. I haven't seen but a few run this setup so I hope the oil pan and trans clears. I haven't seen an aftermarket oil pan for these yet.
