62 bagged Kneekocker project
I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Jeff and I have enjoyed browsing the build section for a while. I'm a retired electrician and converted into a body shop man for pleasure and something different.
Recently I purchased a1962 c-10 cab sitting in the weeds of my brother in-laws for $100 and decided to make a bagged project out of it. My goal was to build a complete frame and suspension and have a working rolling chassis before I mount the cab. Here are some pic's of the beginning and start of my project. http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0da6cb39.jpg http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5bf28395.jpg http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7fdc8287.jpg http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/...pscc4c411f.jpg http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/...ps49794e54.jpg http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3feba892.jpg http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/...psa975930c.jpg http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/...psce2c848d.jpg |

Ta2Don I browsed through your build thread, could you give me the rundown on what master cylinder/brake booster you used? Very clean installation. |
Re: 62 bagged Kneekocker project
For the guys looking for easy made ball joint plates Speedway Motors offer these for $4.99 each. The only down fall is they are only wide enough to incorporate a coil over shock. They just were notwide enough formy installation so I had to fabricate my own.

I incorporated my upper A-Arm mount also as my upper bag mount.

Re: 62 bagged Kneekocker project
Got all my ball-joint plates cut out.

Re: 62 bagged Kneekocker project
No progress to report, still waiting for the machine shop to finish drilling/tapping my cross shafts for my upper/lower A-arm mounts.
Once their completed I can finish the final fit and weldment of the front suspension and head toward the rear 4-link fab work, |
Re: 62 bagged Kneekocker project
Nice work! Are you planning on running big wheels? smaller wheels probably won't work with those lower arms.
