Re: 64 Chev C10 Slam (Noob Style)
Hi guys, Its been a while since I did anything but drive my 64, I got sidetracked trying to collect a chev or gmc truck from every generation, I have 5 in the fleet at this time but still got a ways to go.
So the plan is to prep the Zd Frame I bought, Make it a roller, and put my 64 body and parts on it, It will be my first frame up resto.
I bought a stock disk front end from a 71 truck the other day for 150. Just a pile of great parts,
First up is to pancake/section the crossmember 1.5 inches. This seems to be the magic number for this, any more and you get steering issues.
The Green crossmember I sectioned for my 64 was dropped 2 inches, and had to be shimmed back up a half inch to make the tie rods clear the frame.
Front end taken apart, and Crossmember pressurewashed and ready for surgery.
Have a good week.
