Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
Hey thanks, The tire size on the fronts are 255/50 18's and the rears are 295/45 20's. The rims are Coys a company out of Utah. For the rears to tuck under the fender we had to grind out as much of the fender without loosing integrity and shape.
- The rear maintains the stock trailing arms with a later 12. bolt posi rear and 5 whole bolt pattern. To lower the rear, blocks and dropped springs about 6" in. -The front has dropped spindles and dropped springs. Lowered about 4" in. The trany is a 700r4. It is geared high, it does 75 mph at 1,800 rpm. It still has plenty of power and we have yet to find a top speed. -Cuss in Custom Last edited by Cuss in Custom; 05-17-2012 at 10:52 PM. |

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
I just found this site and it rocks. I'm in the process of buying a 65 Chevy shortbed fleetside as a daily driver, pics soon. I picked this 61 GMC 4000 last week. The guy gave it to me for hauling off some scrap. It has a running V-6, 5spd with PTO, air brakes and AM radio. It was kept in a building most of it's life and is almost rust free. Has a little outer panel rust through on the doors only. The last owner bought it in Nebraska 10 yrs ago and drove it to Missouri and used it to haul logs. He retired a couple of years ago and parked the truck and it's been sitting ever since.

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
My 1962 Chevy X frame roller. Keeping the rear suspension set up. The traction bars are rust free and in real good shape. Will put the rear on air bags. Im new to air ride suspension but im told you can get bags and just fill to a certain psi for the lift. Not needing the whole system right away. Im also decideing on the front end swap to the 73-87 style or removing my tortions and building an upper and lower mount for a set of bags using the stock control arms. Input?

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
Welcome to the forum! Should you decide to swap the 62 front suspension for the later disc brake version, the following threads may help. The first deals with the suspension swap and the 2nd deals with engine and transmission mounts:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=366828 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=369663 The best place to post your photos would be to start a new build thread in the Projects and Builds section near the top of the page, and just keep adding stuff as you go along.

We put a bb in it so it sits a good bit lower in the front now.
