Re: 70 GMC in progress.

Howdy, I wasnt happy with my ride height so I put some drop spindles and tube control arms on it, which meant I had to goto disk brakes, which meant I couldnt run my stock rims rings and caps. So I got a set of Rally rims that are reversed and will clear the calipers,

Also meant I had to raise my steering to be able to get any more drop due to steering shaft clearance, 67-72 frames have raised bumps that the steering box bolts to. So I took the whole side of the frame off and moved it up. The box moved up 1.5 inches and bolted back up to the shaft, seems to work great with no U joint so Ill leave it for now.

After that I had to raise my engine 1 inch to give the center tie rod clearance under the pan.

Anyway,,,,,

I got all that done finally, Im about to go bolt on the new rear tires and get it out of the shop.


Have a good week.
