Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Much better

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

This truck kicks ASS for sure! Cool build!

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

wow!!! . very cool

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

I've always wondered if I should move the front wheels forward and inch or two. The front wheels always seem like they're set to far back toward the rear and the space in front of them bugs me. I'll either move it or fill the whole space with rim and rubber. Probably the latter.

Great lookin' truck.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

When they get really low, the wheelbase needs to increase about 3" from where it winds up w/the factory positioning (1.5" F/~1.5" R). It's definitely noticeable.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

very cool and such an improvement!!!
NICE WORK!!

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

I thought I was the only guy that noticed wheel spacing in the wheelwell. GLAD to know I am not the only SICKO:metal: I wanted to move the front wheels forward 1.5-2 inches but with the dropmember the rack becomes an obstacle
if you move dropmember forward and not motor motor will have to raise atleast 1 1/2inches more than the 2inches it already does. If you slide motor with dropmember motor gets close to rad electric fan a must. Thought about all this briefly then nate told me dropmember centers wheel in wheelwell
when air out I decided not to mess with it. Hope this makes sence not good at typing better at talking:metal:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

The DM does move the spindle C/L farther forward vs. the factory (1.5" IIRC). Did you want to move it another 1.5" forward?

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Great thread. Everytime I see the dropmember in action I fall a little deeper in love.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

I'm going to have to look into moving mine now.. after i stretch the cab. ill have to look at the best way to move the axle rearward.. thanks another project on the plate.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Keep in mind that everything attached to the trailing arms is affected when the rear wheelbase is moved.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

yeah. I am goin to bags I think so that shouldnt be a big deal.. also. shock mounts will change when i bag anyway. but I think its woth the effort if I can make it look as clean as that is.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

I would agree.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

YES :metal:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Wow.... That's a bunch. I wonder how it would look? I guess in pics your front wheels look just about right to me. Do they still appear to be too far back in person?

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

I am digging this mucho. Nie work.:ito:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

NO they do not look to far back in person. I just love that extreme look:metal: Like the old funny cars here is a pic :metal:FUNNY CARS ROCK:metal: :metal:

My computer is broken on a friends will post more updates once I take more pics and save to my NEW computer:metal:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Gotcha. I'm doing the 1.5" F/R for 3" of total 'stretch'.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

I noticed this effect on my pick-up, too. I thought maybe I had bolted the suspension together wrong way back when I did the work:lol:.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

The Frame on my 62 has been Modified and Altered. I have a Mustang II IFS Clip on the front and the Wheelbase has been extended to 117". The front wheels were too sunk in so I bought some wheel spacers and put them on. Brought the wheels out a little more close to the fender.
