Re: Moms wedding present 49 chevy 5 window LS 4L60e TCI frame
Scott, it was short, a few months ago I gave them the measurements and they compared it to their cad. TCI came and picked the frame up from my house as Good Guys was this weekend, then they drove it to the shop where he is going to lengthen it. Evan said it was about an 1.5 in too short, but that told Tom add more just in case so maybe he will do it 3 in. Per Tom, the beds should not even be close to touching about 1in apart. I would contact Jay. So far they are making me happy.

Re: Moms wedding present 49 chevy 5 window LS 4L60e TCI frame
how does your wheels look? are the hubs centered to the opening of your wheel well? Hopefully your suspension and ds will let you move back the space you need.

I do need to look and see how the rear end is set up in relation to the center of the fender. When I was setting the axle position I could not get it right - it was too far back. TCI didn’t understand but they had not figured out your chassis (and now mine) was too short at that point. This explains the rear axle problem. I had to cut my 4 link bars by about 1.5” and re-thread them to get the axle positioned right. Damn!
