Re: camaro clip crooked?

I think you are on the right path to getting it right.

I am assuming that you aren't intending to have the truck real low as it is going to sit up fairly high compared to most lowered trucks with a Camaro or Chevelle clip. You can figure that the middle of the crossmember will be abut 6-1/2 or 7 inches off the shop floor with all the weight of the truck on stock Camaro or Chevelle springs.

This is supposed to be the blueprint with measurements for a 56 3100 frame. it might give you some stock reference measurements if you need them.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
