Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
Forgive me but I could not find it in your posts. Who did you order the C notch through? I have lowered my C20 4 in the front and 4 in the back but I am looking at going lower in the rear to level it out more.
Thanks |

Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
I bought the rear flip kit from street pros .com it was 275 bucks shipped and I thought it was a bolt in kit because that's what the picture advertises. Well after about 2 weeks it finally showed up and it was chassis tech garbage. And a weld in kit at that but I didn't realize the pad mounts on a 14 bolt are solid and there is no real way of using a halfton style flip kit that keeps your pinion angle. So after looking around a little and the only other options were western chassis at almost 400 bucks for there kit, switch suspension which is chassis tech painted black literally, and chassis tech which is what I received I just decided I already had so we'll install it. The c notches are nice I'll give them that. The new pad mounts were a little oversized and the u bolts were completely junk. I installed everything dry and moved the truck off the 2 post over to the drive on lift and when I was loosening up the ubolts so we could center the rear end and set pinion angle they stripped loosening them so I had to buy a quality set of u bolts another 70 bucks local. If I ever do another c20/c30 drop I'd piece everything together rather then buy that junk again

Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
Well it's been awhile since I've posted. Haven't done anything to the truck other then let it sit since August. But I finally got motivated to work on it again. So here's the start of the patch work on the firewall.

Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
Nice work on your crew cab. Man, that is a raw deal on that rust but it looks like you're well on your way to getting it fixed. Is that your 67 Camaro in a couple of the pics?

Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
Man, I need a spreadsheet to keep track of what all you're working on. Like how the crew cab is coming together. Keep at it. In paint it's gonna be killer.

Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
Looking good there dude. That firewall situation looks like a little bit of work. Looks good so far and it will be solid once your done. Keep it up!

Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
Got the final trim done on the firewall. And the final trim done on the donor firewall it's all clamped in place and ready to weld in now. I also did a final mock up and am happy with the fit of everything.

Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
I also ordered both floor pans,inner and outer rockers, and both kickpanels for both sides. After I finish the firewall I'll start on the floors.

Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
Finally got it all welded up and ground smooth. You can see the overlap on the inside I'm pretty happy with it.

Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
Here's the rest of panels I need to install. Here's a pic of my hood I stripped and primed last year with u pol dtm primer we'll that stuff was a waste of time and money. I noticed a crack,bubble in the hood the other day and was shocked at the flash rust underneath. Glad I only used that primer on the hood and tailgate they'll have to be stripped and redone again! And here's some super Cheyenne emblems I picked up that I'm thinking about using now instead of the Scottsdale emblems.

Been a while since i posted havent been very motivated to do much to it but I did get some stuff done this week. I bodyworked the weld seam and got it in epoxy primer then I sprayed the rest in weld thru primer. Got the upper firewall ready to weld on today and will be welding on the brake support here soon.

Re: project orange crush 76 crewcab build
That is looking great! I was looking at my 76 last week and I'm going to have to repalce from the floor seam up to below the wiper motor area on it due to rust. I'm really looking forward to that.....
