Yeah that frame looks awesome

What engine are you planning to install? Looks like you've done a body lift?

66Gilbert · 05-11-2009, 10:35 AM

WOW!!

This looks great. How about some close ups of the transfer case mounts and power steering install.

Planning a mostly stock 350 four bolt main with TBI and block hugger headers. I did do a 2 inch body lift for the 35s on amarican racing wheels.Since this is 4 wheel drive i had to engineer my own brackets for the power steering setup. Basicly it is the same as the kits you can buy for the gear to frame mount and the steering arm is hand made to fit the trunion bearing cap studs witch were replaced with longer grade 8 studs and then cut off the old steering arm flush with the new arm.P.S. dont even try to machine the stock steering arm, it is hard as H??? Here is some pics of the mounts for the 72 NP205 transfer case. And the steering setup.The mount for the case is 6x1/4 plate and i used the poly mounts from classic ind. for the 221 and some 3/8x6x4 angle. The steering gear is a 70 blazer 4wd as is the piman arm and the drag link is 70 chevy truck
