Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step

You can see where I had to trip the lip of the frame so the A/C lines come off of the compressor. Despite what I have seen on the forum, I wanted to see if the truck manifolds would fit...and TRUST ME, THEY WILL NOT. The right side would fit with some trimming on the top frame rail, but the left will not fit at all. You would have to trim the top and the bottom. I didn't want to have to trim the frame at all. I am trying to keep this thing on some sort of budget, so I will be sourcing a pair of Trailblazer manifolds. I really like the Doug Thorly's but I don't have a spare $600 to drop on them. You have to draw the line somewhere...or at least I do.
