This is Stephanie, Ace's secretary. Sorry for the topic header, trying to teach Ace to do this and screwed up....

powell72 · 03-10-2010, 06:52 PM

Looks good, that looks like a great way to start a project. I assume it runs, did you get any parts with it to complete it?

Shaky · 03-10-2010, 07:22 PM

Great looking truck.

What does "dfd" stand for?

**michael bustamante** · 03-10-2010, 07:43 PM

Looks like the tracks for "one-piece" glass.

why do the rear wheels look so far forward in the fender? looks like a great start for a project, but is this normal?

If you look between the cab and the bed you will see a bigger gap also.....bed just isnt bolted on.

I think it looks that way due to the fact that is was lowered in the front and rear. When the front was lowered (drop spindles) it pushed the fronts out and the rears stayed the same. The rear is probably a narrower 67-70 axle. Plus the wheels look pretty narrower. Just my two cents.

SUBURBAN ACE: Nice truck!

That is part of it, but any truck lowered 6" or lower in the rear has the wheels farther forward...just a result of the pendulum effect of the trailing arms. I ended up adding 1/2" spacers at the trailing arm mounts which moved the wheels back the 1" they moved forward when I bagged my truck.

blyguy · 03-10-2010, 11:16 PM

thanks va72, that explains alot, can u buy the spacers you speak of or is it something you built?

I had a machine shop that was making some other items make them out of aluminum and gave them a file showing where the holes needed to be drilled and they put it into cad and made it.

could you supply a pic of the actual spacer??

basemodel67 · 03-11-2010, 02:52 AM

That's a good looking truck. Is the grill gonna stay white or are you going to paint the fender front to match... I hope?
