My build thread.. 63 LS powered C10 - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

A lot of the chassis cars run it similar to that. I believe it makes mounting the shocks very easy and give lots of room for suspension travel/ride height.

are those made or bought. nice work looking forward to some more pics. about to redo my back half and wanna do round tube aswell.

hotrod 80 · 11-30-2011, 08:54 PM

Any updates ? Also interested in the main hoop out riggers and how he did them .Looks like im about to do this again .

Super73 · 11-30-2011, 11:29 PM

Everything is made. I will see if I can get more this weekend.

noonzor · 12-01-2011, 01:12 PM

sweet, how did you find your chassis guy? local friend or classified? ive been looking around my area and its tough to find, shops want about 8g for a 10pt cage install. i might get ballsy and try it myself, but its just something you CAN NOT do wrong.

djracer · 12-02-2011, 09:26 AM

That price is crazy!

noonzor · 12-02-2011, 11:16 AM

The 8g is if you have a full interior they have to work around, but still i agree. Thats the highest ive found calling around. The best ive found so far said itd be around 5500 with no interior and was only 8pt.

Super73 · 12-02-2011, 09:39 PM

Price is insane. Joe did my Camaro (see pics below). He is a local guy that several friends told me about.

djracer · 12-03-2011, 12:00 AM

I bet I could get it done here for 2-3k or less.

noonzor · 12-03-2011, 02:49 AM

ill keep shopping around for a price like that. thats beautiful work on your camaro! your truck is lookin awesome aswell. my truck wont be ready for a cage install for a cpl more years, hopefully when its time ive found someone i can trust for a good price.

All I can say is wow about the price you are quoted. I paid 4200.00 for my chromoly 12 point cage with funny car cage, that certs to 7.50 in the 1/4 mile, and that price included my custom headers. All material and labor. He has the front legs running through the dash, and the dash bar is in the dash out of sight. The economic climate must be quite different where you are located. Paul

noonzor · 12-03-2011, 02:03 PM

on a last note, the car culture around here has always seemed pricey to me. the economical status of alberta is quite well, being the home of fort mcmurray a major oil supplier and edmonton alone housing many major refinerys. ive learned to deal with it, and have travelled many miles to get quality, less expensive work/parts. life haha.

but yeah, we should probably stop thread jacking now... haha Super73 i cant wait to see the final pics of your cage/suspension. gonna be like a whole new truck! haha I want to ask where you got your transmission? im just shopping around now and want to make sure i get one thats gonna withstand the kind of punishment i need it to hold up to.

Thanks,
Kyle.

kpeztruck · 12-03-2011, 04:39 PM

There is no doubt that Super73's truck is going to be great when it is done. That is easy to tell by the quality of work on his Camaro. I need to post some photos fo my cage in the other thread asking for pictures. I just never seem to have a camera when near my truck at the shop. Paul

Super73 · 12-26-2011, 09:48 PM

Some cell phone shots from today.

Front Outriggers, still need to be welded to the cab mount and inside frame. They tie in to the rocker of the cab adding strength to them. God forbid the truck were to roll over, the outrigger would have a hard time shearing off the frame rail or even bending the 2x3 tube sonce it's welded on both sides.

Super73 · 12-26-2011, 09:54 PM

Rear outriggers, these angle up slightly as they go out. These will also get welded on both ends for strength.

Super73 · 12-26-2011, 10:05 PM

Some interior pics.

**Captainfab** · 12-27-2011, 12:11 AM

Looks great

noonzor · 12-27-2011, 12:34 AM

looks awesome man! i really like how its all tied together.

BigDan3131 · 12-28-2011, 04:34 PM

Is that cage really going to pass NHRA tech??? It just looks so mickey moused, especially that top hoop area. Has your guy done a whole bunch of tech certified cages? Did you sit in it when he measured for placement of the door bars? I just hope your 5 feet tall and weigh 110 pounds to climb over those bars all day long.

Super73 · 12-28-2011, 04:57 PM

Dan,

I am curious what you think is "Mickey Moused." Joe has built many cages that have passed cert, not only 8.50 and slower but 7.49-8.49 funny car cage stuff. He even discussed things with our regional NHRA tech guy.

I am also not a huge guy at 5"10 and 170lbs.

Super73 · 12-28-2011, 04:58 PM

Another update, looks like my 72cc AFR 225's are sold and will be coming off the motor. Talking to Tony Mamo about the 64cc AFR 245 heads.

Marv D · 12-28-2011, 08:19 PM

bigdan.... A 8.50 cetified cage is going to be a bit tight to fit into with a standard cab pickup. But I'm trying to see ANYTHING that isn't just extremely well fit and finished.

Shaun's noggin is going to appreciate the long straight bars and gusseted corners if he ever puts the to to use for anything other than iteing up the chassis. (LOL, lets hope not)

Bummer that I don't have my program together to have worked out a deal on the heads Shaun,, But I already ripped the transaxle up once with just the power this sandrail has now,,, just getting it back together this week as a matter of fact. I apparently need to learn how to drive a little nicer LOL

bcdeutsch731 · 12-28-2011, 08:39 PM

Is there a reason you don't put the bars that run next to your feet a long the floor of the cab under the cab where you won't hit your feet when getting out?
Does the bars across your door need to make a X or is that more for safety?
Your truck looks like it is coming together nice.

That looks awsome brother can't wait to see the finished truck

68 C-10 KID · 12-28-2011, 10:57 PM

LOOK AT SHAUN GOING BIG TIME!!!!!

The motor is going to love the new heads.
The cage work looks great.

For the some that does not understand the gusset's. Those are mandatory for any joint that can not be welded 360*
