Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
mine started out with a static drop too, then bags, then dropmember, it never ends! What are you gonna do for A/C? I can't decide which company I want to go with. I can't buy anything any time soon anyway.

Re: 67cheby DM 3.2 install, W/PB 4link, PB hood hinges
Mike-
You want the link bars parallel to the ground at ride height (raise the one on the pass. side) and also the pivot in the middle (the crank that rotates) will need to be perpindicular to the ground. Lookin' good!!! ![]()

Re: 67cheby DM 3.2 install, W/PB 4link, PB hood hinges
TRuck is looking good, some nice fab work there.
One comment though. I always see people using levels. A level doesn't do much good unless the truck is sitting on perfectly level ground or you level it before you use a level. If the truck is sitting a degree or two off then the piece you have the level on will be off.

Re: 67cheby DM 3.2 install, W/PB 4link, PB hood hinges
Sorry to jump in here but how do you guys get the frame level if the garage floor isn't level.. Would you level out the jack stands by putting shims etc under them?

Re: 67cheby DM 3.2 install, W/PB 4link, PB hood hinges
with the frame flat on the ground if the pinch welds are setting even on both sides its close enough for me, if someone wants to measure it and tell me i am 1/16 off from side to side , more power to them... if i had endless amounts of money to spend i would have went to a high dollar shop with all of the right frame jigs and all of the cool equipment.... but i dont , so this will work for me , The truck has been in my family for about 30 years it will never get sold so if i do something that is a little off i only have myself to beat up about it

Re: 67cheby DM 3.2 install, W/PB 4link, PB hood hinges
4-5 day, i thought that was quick, my only complaint is the heim joints were so hard to thread into the arms that i totally messed up the finish on them, other than that it was simple

Re: 67cheby DM 3.2 install, W/PB 4link, PB hood hinges
It wasn't bothering me. I was just making a comment, asking a question. Just wanted to make sure you weren't spending all that time to have to go back and spend more time fixing something. I would agree a 1/16 would probably be negligible, but you would be surprised what a degree or two adds up to over a 4-6 foot distance.

To borrow a line from an old painter I once met "He ain't takin' it to the World Fair". Give it a rest lets get back to this cool build.
