The single cab 99+ GMC they did as well as a few of thier under construction trucks at Heatwave and I was shocked how bad some of thier work is along with the parts they sell.

Lost wages how about some more pics of the frame??

72chevyLWB · 08-19-2003, 07:32 PM

Can somebody post a pic of a 67-72 with spindles, bags and a big notch in the back. I want to see what that would look like, And like I asked before what would it take for me to lay just my air dam on the ground? I have 3" coils and 2.5" spindles. Would I also have to do lower control arms?

This setup is Air Bags, Stock Spindles and a Small C-Notch set-up. I am not sure just how low it will be with a body on the frame.

It doesnt look so good.

It is the angle. Wages frame is sweet. The C-Notch and fabrication he did on the 4 link is great work. You guys are a tough crowd!! LOL

Looks real nice to me.

Chevy_68 · 08-20-2003, 07:45 PM

on our trucks (67-72) you dont have to go in the extreme on replacing frame rails on my 67 we just z'd the front suspension and notched the rear and it lays rocker I'll post pics once were done completely right now just finishing it up grinding all welds down since we now know its good and on the floor. also im pretty sure it'll work on the 73-87 trucks cause i've looked at my 80 and its just about the same.

might I add that im doing this with the help of my welding teacher its going to count as my final project grade even though thats not till december.

orange72 · 08-21-2003, 11:11 AM

What size tubing are you using?

orange72 · 08-21-2003, 12:54 PM

ok well i guess it worked. when i get a chance ill post a pic of my step notch. im using 2x3" 1/4" boxed tubing. a lot of people say the 1/4" is over kill but since this is a daily driver i want to be sure that its gonna be strong. anyways ill get some pics later.

orange72 · 08-21-2003, 01:03 PM

heres a picture of the side to give you an idea of the stance. this truck is still in buildup so i dont have any real good pictures plus im in Wyoming right now. so anyways here you go.

orange72 · 08-21-2003, 01:05 PM
