Re: SANFORD build thread
Just a small update.I am just about done with all the heavy fabrication,I still have a few things like front shock mounts,front sway bar ,trans linkage and so on.I still have to finish modifying the trailing arm crossmember and get the rear brake assemblies on and route the parking cables.I will blow this thing in the near future and paint the chassis and other components etc.thanks for looking.Thought I would trow a few pics of it together one last time before paint.

Re: SANFORD build thread
Nice work! So...no issues with clearance with the exhaust at the notches?

Re: SANFORD build thread
Thanks guys,VA72C10 it does appear it is hitting,but it is not.also this is at full drop and there is at the closest point about 3/8 clearance so I dont think there will be any problems.I have had this thing together and apart about 3 or 4 times to check for any unforseen problems.Hopefully this is the last time as I am about to lose a little steam on this project.Wife and I have made reservations for power tour next June so I better get on the ball.Thaks again.

Re: SANFORD build thread
Its been a while since I posted, but I have made a little progress.I recieved my new axles from Moser,also took some pics of my headers and h-pipe after I cleaned and painted them. I used rustoleum high heat paint so I have my fingers crossed that they will hold up. My last pick is a swap meet score from today, I wasnt looking for another grill but sometimes you cant pass them up, it is not perfect but it is in very good shape.

Re: SANFORD build thread
that is very smart to put the header flanges on the pipes incase you have to remove your tranny .where did you get the flanges?

Re: SANFORD build thread
I like how you ran your brake line down the trailing arm rather than along the frame all the way rearward.. Or, was your truck originally plumbed this way? My Suburban had the hardline go all the way back to just over top of the rearend with the flex hose running downward to the "T" on the axle housing..
Looks very nice. |

Re: SANFORD build thread

Re: SANFORD build thread
Oh yeah, I like that flex line mounting point for the rear brakes a lot better than the standard spot at the trailing end!!
Though I must admit I had to look at your photo a few times to realize what I was looking at and why it was important !! Nice mod I would consider doing for any build.
