Re: Project...praise the lowered
from face to face of the newer style rear end is 68 inches.old rear end is 62 1/2 inches.quite a difference. but now everyone knows.
today me and my girl finished stripping all the crud off the rear half of the frame.ground off all the welds from the stuff i cut off,then primed and painted with box liner.turned out perfect.then i got the front suspension (minus the bags) installed and tonight i threw a couple wheels on and dropped her down.its going to lay real nice.should have the rear axle mocked up tomorrow.finally we have some nice driveway working weather. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Project...praise the lowered
so are you gonna make a bracket that bolts to the axle to hold the link bar? or are you going to weld it to the axle?

Re: Project...praise the lowered
im going to use some of the stock mounting hardware from the newer truck setup.in the first picture you can see one of the axle pads under the u bolt.its what kept the axle flat on the leaf springs.where the leafs sat on top of the axle i cut it off and im rotating them around to the bottom to sit on top of the arms.in the top left of the same pic you can see some more u bolt mounting brackets.im going to set that on top of the axle and drop the u bolts through a couple of brackets im going to weld to the arms.hard to explain but i will post a pic as soon as i get it done

Re: Project...praise the lowered
as always thanks for the input.
Kev im sure you could do something like this setup.and the bags are going to mount behind the axle.i made some bag mounts and u bolt mounts today at work.i should have the arms finished tomorrow.i will post a pic as soon as i can.today i did a little more blocking on the dash.about another hour and it should be ready for primer.after fitting up the gauge cluster i discovered i have to re bend the mounts a little.not a big deal.i also snaped a pic of the paddle valve setup and gauges.hides most of the seam where the dash meets the console real nice. ![]() ![]()

Re: Project...praise the lowered
sorry for not having any updates for those of you following.i have been quite busy with the build and enjoying the summer.so here is where i am now.drivers side box is now one piece,welded together,wheel arch patch in place,body work done including hours and hours of blocking (had some help from the build foreman),epoxy primed and high build primed.brake lines are all built,bent,just need flared.abs heart is cleaned,painted and ready to go.and now in the works is a custom stainless fuel tank to take place of the stocker from the newer donor truck.when i moved the rear axle ahead 4 inches it was hitting the rear of the tank.heres some pics of the build and a couple trucks from a car show i went to yesterday.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
67cheby im going to have to get you a number 1 fan t-shirt haha
after blocking and sanding for the past week i managed to do some paint and primer.the dash didnt turn out too bad for combining the newer gauge housing and playing around with a little sheet metal.feels good to spray a little color. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
