Really? Did they say what type of issues they were haveing?

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

From my understanding they are based on Cadillac and had hardware issues and not adjusting probably. This guy build trucks has friends that builds trucks and now working at Cadillac dealer. I trust them when it comes to this. I had him check my work to make sure my old school methods still right.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

sounds like i'd better do some more research before buying... i was thinking a big brake grandslam kit and a rear big brake kit with some budnik wheels..

New zinc plated Moroso pan. After fighting hex head bolts for pan clearance, I got ARP 12-point heads. Hopefully this takes care of oil leak. Stupid chrome pan!

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Nice build. subscribed

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

LV, good luck with the PB install. I am curious to see how much lower you will be verses the torsion bars cranked down. Your truck is a model for a lot of things I would like to do on my 62, so I'll be checking in. Good luck!!

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Monte, I don't have drop spindles. That might flatten the arms for alignment though. With the 225 / 70 / 15 there is only 3" till it hits. So I have to see if I really want to cut fenders.
The majority of pictures are the 235/60/15, the new tires were to get to a show I didn't make.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Parts, tires, stickers, waiting on booster. Moon Eyes blue sparkle 15" wheel to stay with 60s theme. 245/45/18 on 18x8 4.5 back space. NV House of hose air line parts and as always a cool sticker. CAPTAIN FAB bracket and hydraulic cluch cylinder by Wilwood with all parts to make it work...that's service!

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

looks like spring splash? 97 or 98?

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Bam! Get to work!

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done. Where did you order your front suspension?

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

It's not motivation Monday so what do you call the Friday update

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Freaky, Funky, Funday!
Going to have to get a Beer assistant for this round of mods!

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Can't wait. Looking forward to these changes, especially the front wheels, and a beer assistant is always a good idea.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
 

Final count down. Some before measurements. Low is judged by stock '97 on 31s. PB says ride height is best at 5" at cab mount...-4". Bumper is 1/4" lower.
