Thanks b. sharp. If you know of any retailers that sell them please advise. I have not found them. Yet.

They are made by multiple manufacturers, and I typed in "pinion angle shims" in Google and this was the first (of many) hits that came up. You will have to drill the shims to match the u-bolts, but that's easy.

Great Looking truck !

Rene, how did it ride and drive? Chevys are amazing, they can sit for decades and then spring back to life and act like they were never down for the count.

I love seeing our trucks come back to life. Good job, Rene!

Thanks, actually it drove better than I thought, the motor has plenty of power and no smoking issues (so far), the trans (3 spd) shifter is a bit sloppy...1st gear is temperamental and has to be down all the way or it will jump out gear (minor), I believe the rearend has tall gears (which I like), I'm very happy with the out come, I also took it the muffler shop and told the owner to put some duals and make it loud, it roars now! And of course a big thanks to Kevin who's responsible for the nice lowering job, the comfortable ride and making sure all the lights work!

Tomorrow it's going to make it's pubic debut at the large local auto Swapmeet (not for sale of course!)

It looks like Kevin gets to work on some pretty cool stuff.
That says a lot to me about the quality of his work.

That truck would be a nice one to clone...

Joe, thank you sooooo much for the gift,

I'm going to run the frame and the cardboard insert on my dash till I pick up some "old tore up looking frames" to put on my license plates, then yours is going in my display case or my wall of Chevy frames. (heck, it might stay on the dash!!!)

Thanks again Buddy!!!

Jeff La · 08-23-2014, 11:37 AM

Yeah, I'm thinking Felix is one of the oldest dealership in Ca.

You're welcome man! It belonged over there man. It was just sitting on my work bench for a while.

C/10 King · 09-07-2014, 11:10 PM

Well I'm kinda pacified right now, I found a set of Felix frames the other day, they are repops but older repops that closely resemble the correct ones, I'll probably take them off again in a couple of days and try to dirty them up a bit because they're too clean.

C/10 King · 09-08-2014, 01:52 PM

Next up for Felix! This good used bed wood donated my good friend and drinking partner

Moe's 64'. (thanks Larry
