Each side of the frame is the same height!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-14-2004, 04:03 PM

Well I managed to find a pair of 5 bolt rags that were the same size, so I could set the front end down on the ground. I needed to do that because I want to lift the rear up high enough to work under it confortably. I am pulling the rear end out and replacing it with a 5 bolt 3.07 possi I have. Any way I measured the frame rails to the ground and the are spot on even!! 11 1/4" !! What a load off my mind!! LOL I took a few pictures while I was at it.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-14-2004, 04:04 PM

I can't wait to find wheels that I like...

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-14-2004, 04:06 PM

It has been a long time since the front has sat on the floor!! Forward progress!!LOL

**ScottH** · 01-14-2004, 05:56 PM

Wes, looks great.....btw what did u use on the frame and front end parts?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-14-2004, 08:49 PM

Thanks guys, I appriciate the compliments. It seems like it is taking forever to get this far, and one just doesn't know how something will turn out untill he does it. LOL
Scott, I used black base coat clear coat on the frame, then I powder coated the front cross member, BB engine stands & brackets, upper & lower "A" arms, sway bar, lowering spindles, lowering springs, back plates, and sway bar brackets. As for all of the new Moog front end components, I just rattle canned them gloss black. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

those wheels would look incredible on that truck!

Wootdog · 01-14-2004, 09:57 PM

Wes. I wish I had all that good stuff you sell at my disposal. but then I would be in even in more debt with a 67 and 68. Wootdog

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-15-2004, 03:17 PM

Those wheels are a little more pricey than I had hoped to spend... Nice looking wheels though!! Wootdog, I give myself a little discount on parts so the price isn't so bad..LOL Thanks again for the compliments... Here is how it is setting now. It looks like the rear may be lower than the front a little. It is hard to tell from these pictures, with the angle. There is a big 4X4 sitting next to it getting new patch panels installed, so the pictures are not the best. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-15-2004, 04:33 PM

Well I deleted the heater because I am going to install an "Old Air" A/C system. It comes complete with a heater...

WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

**CPNE** · 01-15-2004, 04:40 PM

I don't understand the need for A/C either?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-15-2004, 05:51 PM
