No real big updates, but I did manage to score these beauties
Posted via Mobile Device Attachment 1118948 Even if I can't register them to the truck it will just be nice to have them. Does anyone know if you can register with plates like this? Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
I ordered my rack & pinion kit from No Limit just now, and a big thank you to Tina over there at No Limit. She was a huge help! Should have install pics by next weekend!

I will be running the Edelbrock serpentine set up that comes with it's own p/s pump. I am sure there will be some custom hoses I will have to have made for it.
Attachment 1121602 The other problem is going to be that all these parts are polished and I do not want anything "chrome" on this truck. So, I will have to figure out what I am going to do about that...... |

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
My No Limit rack is on the FedEx truck for delivery this morning, planning on showing the entire install of the rack on here step by step to share my experience with the setup that will hopefully be some useful info for others future installs. :wave:

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

Got home and did the inventory check........
Attachment 1125721 Then went to mock fit the bracket, and this is what I ran into............... Attachment 1125722 Attachment 1125723 Attachment 1125724 Attachment 1125725 The lower control arm u-bolts are hitting the bracket. Should I just grind the bracket, or is there something wrong? |
Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
Subscribed and droolin

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
Thats easy enough to solve just notch the bracket then add a rib to reinforce it and move on there is nothing to see here :lol:

More work on the rack comming this evening, in the meantime I have another little teaser project. Been thinking about doing a rendering of what I would like the paint job to look like. So instead of a drawing, I will be working on a more 3D rendering.
Attachment 1126019 I know, it's a short bed, but I am not going to hold that against it. Besides, you try and find a model of one if the in a long bed :lol: Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
with the quality of work they do at No Limit I doubt if it is meant for you to have to notch it , I would give them a call and see what they say !

It wont hurt it to notch it though, don't let it hold you up.

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
Sweet setup! I've been curious about the no limit rack. Aside from your CPP u-bolts, are there any issues with bolting this thing up?

Mounted the bracket.......
Attachment 1126573 ........ painted the other brackets........... Attachment 1126574 ........ finished painting the rack............. Attachment 1126575 ......... went ahead and painted the spindles............ Attachment 1126576 ......... decided not to use my trailing arms, waste of powder coating and new bushings........ Attachment 1126577 |
Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
That's ok you can easily sell those trailing arms and recoup what you spent to refurbish them plus some.
|
Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
What trailing arms are you going with? (or are you holding out to surprise us with something else?)
