Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Is there any way you can pull some diagonal measurements to see if it's square or not?

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Many moons ago, B-I-L Rick and I noticed the frame didn't look right and the tape confirmed it wasn't square so we took it to the frame shop to have the diamond pulled out. We checked the diagonal measurements when it returned from the frame shop originally and they looked good. Just really surprises me they missed this. I have so much time invested in the mods for the bags, etc. I really hate to start over. Might be for the best though, if the truck's this far out, no telling how structurally sound it would be after the pulls needed to get it all back to spec.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
The frame shop that did the work will have to stand by their work if they are worth their salt, if you tell the manager how disappointed you are with the work they did and that you expect that it be made right they can only tell you two things, yes we will or no we won't.
If they won't stand by their work then IMO you should scrap that frame and get a different one because that thing is borked man and it's entirely possible that it may never be right again no matter how much work someone puts into it. I'm pulling for you Vic and I know you will work it out. |

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
AH-HA! Glad you found something. As long as they don't heat it bad, I'd think it'd be ok, I might put a bead on the crossmembers to set them solid when I got it back.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
More cool tools I spy... Interesting dilemma. I recall seeing some old frame drawings with some dims on them outta the factory assembly manuals. When I did my SWB conversion I was looking for 67-72 but could only find 60-66. Wonder if someone out there has those drawings and if they might provide some reference?

The Chassis Service Manual on the other hand, has a whole section on the frame and shows the reference points and measurements. Might be a good idea to make copies of those pages and take them with me to the frame shop. ![]()

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
The box in the driveway reminds me of a kid on Christmas morning. Nice buy there Vic, congrats! We know you won't settle on plug-n-play. Can't wait to see what twists you put on this and all the gizmos that go with. Ahhh, the wiring to come.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
I'm interested to see how you like the CCP show stopper hydra boost. You have leaning toward this setup over just running the manual disc I really have no knowledge of either one just going off what everone says about the stopping ability of the hydro setup

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Not much going on while waiting for the frame shop to call. I decided to seek assistance from my go-to guys at Precision Collision. They have the laser guided, heat seeking, double throw down frame rack... and they're close to the house. I figured there was no point asking for warranty work on a three year old job anyway, so I'll start over with a more thorough set of specs. Meanwhile, I've been doing some research and ordering a few parts to make all this work in CRLS. A couple of things came up WRT the fuel system and I'm not 100% sure I know the right answers.
One question relates to the fuel pump. Boyd's in tank pump is an Aeromotive 340 Stealth unit, PN: 1114_. Aeromotive also sells a 340 Stealth in tank pump that looks identical but has a PN of 1154_. I'd like to buy just the pump kit and fabricate my own installation, but can't decide which to get. The 1114_ pumps are about $50 more than the 1154_ series. One thing the research has turned up is that some pumps are not meant for multi port applications. I can't determine if this is the case with the two Aeromotive versions. Some are also rated for E85 but I don't think that's a factor for me either way. Looks to me like any 340lph, 90psi in-tank pump would suffice. Am I missing something? The other dealio is the LS filter/regulator. Some guys mount it in back near the tank to keep the return line short. However, I'm wondering about the pressure drop by the time the fuel gets to the injectors. The regulator isn't electronically controlled and is preset to 60psi. Don't know what psi the injectors need to see from the fuel rails to do their job (even under hard acceleration) but I'm guessing it's a lot less than 60. Seems like if it mattered where the regulator is mounted, someone would have shouted it out. Anyway, I went ahead and ordered the CTS-V pan and install kit since it seemed the most cost effective solution for a lowered truck. No way the Camaro pan that's on the engine can be made to work unless I hack it to pieces. I think the Camaro exhaust manifolds will fit. I plan to reengineer the exhaust system to fit it up higher in the chassis like John did. The manifolds should help out with that. CPP sheet metal mounts and sliders are on the way. So as soon as I get the frame straight, I should be able to start mocking up some parts. Still no word on when the brakes and 5-lug setup will ship.

The Gen IV and up do it with PWM to the fuel pump, so the pump only runs when needed, or only as much as needed to maintain the pressure |

Still no word from the frame shop, so I've been gathering up parts to complete the swap. The CTS-V oil pan and kit arrived and looks like it will provide plenty of clearance for the cross member. I removed the manifolds, fuel rails and sound cover from the engine. I plan to paint the sound cover and the rail covers to match the truck color. Speaking of painting... I made the third trip in the last four months to yet another cornea specialist who advised me to STOP doing paint and body work, welding and grinding or anything that would irritate my eyes, especially the right one. The growths over the iris are so severe, the doctors feel it's too risky to remove them surgically. That only leaves the option of trying to maintain the vision I have left. So I'm researching full face respirators with the corrective spectacle kit. I can use it for paint and body, but still not sure what I can do for welding. I know they have supplied air kits for welding helmets so I'll be looking at them also. Pretty sure Speedglas offers a model, but I need something full face to keep the fumes away from the eyes. This wasn't a budget item before, but it is now. ![]()
