Duh That why I have you. I just did'nt really see the point. Can't you just measure. Acually I just centered it on the c notch I had from before. Seemed to be quite a bit of room for error. Guess I'll go level it. Could'nt hurt. I can see why now that I've cut so much stuff off it.

Make sure the frame in front of the notch is level, and keep the rear of the notch level. Also check that the top of the notch is level too. You can also check for it to be square, buy measuring it across. (right side in front of notch to the left rear side of the notch. Do that on both sides, and your frame should be square. When your diff goes up all the way it arches. It might not be in the middle of the notch. MEASURE TWICE, WELD ONCE.

As long as it goes up all the way I don't care if it's in the center. I don't want to put everything back together just to see if it centered. I don't think I could tell anyways. I guess I could figure it with a string? Do you have to use lowering blocks to the axle all the way up. In the pic above it looks like thats as far up as it goes. The swing arms are hitting the frame?

But sometimes the axle tube can hit the side of the notch, and can make noise, or won't go down all the way because it's hitting. Believe me I seen a lot of butchered jobs that I repaired. Just trying to give you some knowledge about notches. I've done to many to count.

So if it's done right the swing arm should clear the frame and go up into the notch right? In the picture above it looks as if it hits on the frame? This would be corrected if he would have moved his notch alittle forward right? I'm all about butching. If the notch is moved forward it looks like the back of the swing arm would hit? "Make sure the frame in front of the notch is level, and keep the rear of the notch level. Also check that the top of the notch is level too". Unless it art then it does'nt matter right. Maybe art does'nt work very good ether.

Re: Daverods project 66

Do you plan on using your trailing arms for your bags to sit on. Reason I ask is mostly everyone that bags a truck gets rid of the stock trailing arms because it will hit the frame. If they keep them, they either build a back half or Z the rear of the frame. You want your axle tubes to sit center in the notch so when you lower it it wont hit anything. What are you planning on running for link bars?

I was going to try to use my stock trailing arms but I guess not any more. I don't see how it would work without some big lowering blocks. The best thing would be to put the arms on the outside of the frame. I guess I'll be looking for some four link stuff. I saw SD has a kit but its $1100.

Freudian Slip: or parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of some unconscious ('dynamically repressed') wish, conflict, or train of thought. The concept is thus part of classical psychoanalysis.

Re: Daverods project 66

On the triangle 4 link isn't the spot where it welds to the top of the pumpkin a very weak point cause weld doesn't stick there very well?

Re: Daverods project 66

Jason yes and no, If you know what your doing you can make a very good weld. You have to preheat the pumpkin first between 300-600 and then weld. Most people dont know how and build a loop over it to attach the end links.

Dave one thing about our trucks is it's hard to 4 link because of how the bed mounts. If you dont care then you can put the links on top of the frame and then to the cent of the alxe. Remember that you have to have atleast 40* or your axle will move side to side. The best and maybe cheapest for you to do it go bag on 2x2 on outside of frame and a wishbone or watts link. If you wanna use round bar for the bags make sure that it's atleast 1.5" and .120 wall or it can bend. You should always have the lower bars adjustable. Just call up SD and let them help ya out. They make some really good links and it's good stuff.

Re: Daverods project 66

I was thinking of making it easy. Seemed like a good deal they even threw in the bags. Sucks I missed the dead line. Still looking around. Sucks even more I'm taking next month off to go hunting so the money tree will be lacking buds. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=353118 I did get some pushrods today so all is not lost.

Re: Daverods project 66

If you talk to Jason personally and buy some other stuff from him,. He'll probably give you a discount. That's what he did when I bought my crossmember from him. One thing you need to tell him that you already have the notch. It's a good kit. I just dont have the money and I backhalfed my truck.
