Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I put the cab on for some mockup. I needed to transfer punch the holes for the radiator core support. I was also curious about how my engine was going to sit. I made the motor/trans mounts with the cab and fenders off the frame.
I came out pretty good all in all. the engine could have been back a little but will work fine. It sits a little low but that is a good thing. I have some trimming to do on the inner fenders and core support. The front springs will have to be changed for some form a six cylinder Camaro as they are way too stiff. Nice to see that most of the worries were unfounded. ![]() Last edited by mknittle; 07-17-2013 at 07:43 PM. |

Just nominated NEWFISHER for ToTM.
Out of the 3 nominees, I'd say he has a strong chance of winning. ![]() I'm just kidding, the other trucks are pretty slick too. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Thanks for the info. Ive already cut 1 coil of my springs. I think Ill wait and see about the drop spindles. Im also considering the QA1 front coil over kit, seems like allot of adjustability.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Today I took Clarance J to have his front alignment checked. Seems my buddy Roger and did an ok job with the tape measure. Toe in/out needed a little adjustment. While he was up in the air they lubed all the zerts.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I took the front fenders and cab back off. Started the clutch bell crank pivot mount on the frame, got that and the goof plugs in my boxing plates tacked. then took the engine and transmission off the frame. And drilled the holes for the core support. Then rolled it out of the shop so we could get the log truck in to do a brake and a tire.
Tomorrow I may attempt to leap a small building in a single bound. ![]() |
