John did you have any interference with the front wheel and lower control arm with the dropped spindle?

Re: Winter Beater Build 2.0- '66 Short/Fleet BBW
Wow what great luck to finally acquire this truck after trying for so long. I'll follow your progress.
I'm curious about the mod to the A arm shaft to move the arm ahead 3/4". I've not seen this done before. Can you expand on your rationale for doing it? |

Moving the lower arms forward adds Caster so the truck has a modern caster value that works better w/modern tire technology: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ght=caster+mod

No attention to detail on this one so far, just making it clean-ish. I didn't even blast/paint the brake hardware that was reused. Quote:

 I'll post the new alignment specs once I get that far, I'm shooting for around 7 degrees of caster.
