Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
so some might remember back right before x-mas I had started building my own trailing arms! I have been working on them a lil here and there! well this week I really worked on them to get them almost finished, I got two flat brackets to measure out for the Camaro sway bar to attach to them, and to weld two tabs for the panhard bar to attach to the passenger side arm!
I also move the two holes for the axle back 1/2"

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
I also had to make my own brackets to mount the trailing arms to the cross member, since I went with the 3" ballistic joints, had I went with there 2.??" ones the factory mounts would have worked! but No I wanted the BIGGER BEEFER ones with the 1-1/4"-12 threaded shank!
anyways back to the bracket, I got some 4" square tubing we had around the shop, cut two pieces to 6-7"! I had bought some POL trailing mounts that wouldn't work an just copied them but made them wider to work with the bigger joints! I did have to make some spacers for each side of the tabs that the bolt will go thru!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
more pics of the mounts, these mounts will let me adjust my pinion angle as will, I'll tig the spacers to the mount in the mourning an pull the bolts out! there just there to hold the spacers where I need them

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
so incase anyone waits to know what a stock trailing arm weights, compared to my trailing arms I built! stock 22lbs. each vs mine 34lbs. an I'm still got to weld another lb. on for the panhard bar bracket an the sway bar mount! so I'm thinking they will weigh 35lbs. each

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
I know you're off to like Kansas or Missouri fixing those giant valves this week but I wanted to thank you for lunch. Good to hang out with beers and BSin'... And when Mitch broke out the margs, I knew it was all over.
Thanks for the help bro... |

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
so I didn't want to just post some pics of my center buddy bucket seat that I got Clem's upholstery guy to add cup holders too! that I picked up at the get-together he was throwing! so when I did find time that I wasn't having to work I tore my buddy bucket seats apart, man does 50 years old foam smell BAD, like wet cat an dog an mildew! I then blasted the frames, painted them added burlap over the springs to help keep them from pushing thru over time, and once I got done with that, I started to put on the new stuff! I put on the new upholstery seat covers myself to save some money! not to bad for my first time putting on new seat covers!
anyways here's so pics
