Too late (and too much invested) to take advantage of Rob's new rack setup - but, damn, this is HUGE. An affordable R&P for our trucks is epic.

Props to No Limit. Woot!

Any updates rob?

next week we are going to do an "out of the box" install on a stock-ish 66. StreetTrucks is coming out to cover the install, and we are having a the owner of the truck install the kit himself. If all goes as planned we are ready to roll the kits out June 1. This way we will know if anything needs to be tweeked, we will post up dailey during the install, and have the owner comment on the install and the feel - before/after. The only thing we are waiting for is the cnc formed pressure tubes from classic tube. they should be here next week, we can bend and flare a few, but I'm sure we won't be able to meet the demand that way. Look for picts starting monday.

Outstanding!

put me on your list Rob. I've been wanting a complete new custom IFS...but will have to settle for my dropped spindles/1" springs/bump stops/tubular upper control arms, and big sway bar. The slow OEM steering has got to go and I'd rather do a r&p over a new steering box. My LS3 style motor already has the right ps pump.

**rob32472** · 05-31-2011, 01:07 PM

Any install pics yet?

**robnolimit** · 05-31-2011, 03:14 PM

Sory guys, were runnin' a bit behind. Last weeks Truckin Throwdown took up a bunch of time. - Good time though - I promise to get some picts and info up today. We started the install this morning.

**Tmend** · 05-31-2011, 05:10 PM

Pulling out all of the stock steering

**robnolimit** · 06-06-2011, 05:57 PM

The stock steering shaft goes too.

**robnolimit** · 06-06-2011, 06:00 PM

Here is a shot of the main rack mounting brackets

**robnolimit** · 06-06-2011, 06:03 PM

The two lower 'fingers' set the height of the brackets. The first locating hole is dead center on the crossmember.
