Re: 67 GMC Lift thread

How much lift are you gonna be installing? Do you have the original closed knuckle front end? If so what are your plans for the steering arm?

When I bought my 67 it already had an open knuckle 44 installed with disc brakes and power steering. When you do the swap do yourself a favor and get captain fabs bracket. The 67' dosent have the bumps in the frame for the newer steering boxes. I never noticed it when I had my truck tore apart, but the P.O used washers to space the box from the frame.

I found that out one night when I went to turn out of my parking spot and the box ripped off the frame.
