Oh yea...that would pose a problem..lol...in that case that concept looks like it will work fine

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

damn! your rear looks way cool! keep on it!

I like the idea of your cross-member, but it needs to be able to be installed if someone has the cab still on the truck, IMO. (cant drill the holes for the top of the frame rail with the cab on it) what if you measured the overall width inside of frame to inside of frame and then backed off about an inch. then you could finagle it in there with some gap and then use some kind of spacer on each side????? if that make sense???

if it is the same width as the frame rails im pretty sure you would end up beating it in and out?????

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

you dont like my color scheme:lol: im going for the "over the top" look:metal:

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

im still thinking of some other ways. ive seen a bunch of xmembers that are as wide as the inside on the framerails and people seem to love em.

I just want it to be super easy to remove, thats all...:smoke:


i think its funny that im responding to you on here and texting you about tires at the same time lol

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build

Small Update Today....Got some parts back from my waterjet guy, Bent em up on the CNC press brake, Tacked em together, and Uh oh the parts dont fit :devil:

Measured wrong on the shape of the leafspring pad. Ok, simple fix. get out the grinder and make it work. Problem solved. Rear end in place and working.:sumo:

Front: Fat fingered the bolt dole dimension and made it an inch too big, Thats just gonna get recut because its pretty much screwed.

But that aside it looks badass so far, got a little tweakin to do and some material to get but it will be 4-linkin in no time:metal::metal::metal:

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

Very nice set up you got there bro....

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

yea, new notch is 8.5" total notch.

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

Thanks

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

Looking good. How come not just weld the axle bracket right to the axle, and get rid of the u-bolts and spring plate?

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

I just wanted to do total bolt on incase I change my mind later.

Looking good man! I'm psyched on you designing your own bolt in kit.

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

LOL! When I bought the truck I was just gonna throw some rims on it and static drop it, maybe drive to work every once and a while. :lol:

Now Im into a Frame off Build, and when im done im sure its not gonna be low enough or not have enough power and im gonna start over again;)

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

damn bro! lookin nice!! u ever think bout makin some extras to sell?? im lookin into buyin some if u do!!

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

Thats kinda the idea, but I wanna road test it first. I thought your truck is already setup?

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

ok guys,

I need your thoughts...Panhard vs. Watts?

Panhard bar:

Simple, cheap, easy to install, minimal parts, side to side movement throughout travel




Watts Link:

Strong, minimal side to side movement, "cool factor"
More moving parts, More expense



any thoughts?

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
 

no its not setup...i been searching an checkin stuff out first....

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
