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?

I finally finished the frame and got it painted, I didnt realize I would have this much time into this frame but it turned out well. I hope to start assembly soon. Thanks for lookind guys.

Re: SANFORD build thread
I wanted to post an update on my progress,I have been steadily making progress.Just about have the chassis finished just getting all the brake lines ran along with fuel lines.Really trying to make it in time for the power tour.Thanks for looking.

Re: SANFORD build thread
I decided to run a flex line at the front of the trailing arm in order to ease the trouble of removing tires,I have to unbolt the air bags and drive shaft to drop the rear enough but I should not have to take the brake lines loose.

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.

Re: SANFORD build thread
check--- make sense since you're going to be so low with your body over the wheels.. I forget that airbags can't open up or "stretch" that far.. Good idea..

Re: SANFORD build thread
Thanks guys for the comments,I was having excessive camber change when I get the truck low,It always bothered me so I decided to make some new upper a-arm mounts.I moved the upper mounting point up around 2 inches and it really made a world of difference. I had mybe a 1/2 degree of camber change through the range of suspension travel that the truck will spend its time in.Anyone looking to lower a truck a lot I think would be best to get a Porterbuilt crossmember but if you have more time than money you can build something similar to this.I dont have a lot of money in it but I have a huge amount of time in it.
