Jared,

Are you coming up Friday evening to drop it off, or early Saturday morning? I know that Doug and I will be there each night, so just let us know how we can help.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)

not sure if it's been discussed, but my group is planning on being there Friday night. We probably won't be leaving DSM until around 3, and I don't plan to push it. Probably 60ish the whole way down.

I do have a grille guard to pick up, but I may wait until Saturday to do that.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)

Very busy weekend with the panel truck. Sent wife to the lake and had all weekend to get the front suspension done. Well other than having the bags in place. Got a ton of pics, but want the guys at the Nationals show first look. After that I'll post them all up.

I will say this Justin at Scott's was on it. First we changed up some stuff to get more travel. By stuff I mean a-arms (2 sets) and crossmember. Also, even on the long weekend he still answered my emails quickly. With out that kind of support I would be pushing it to have the front done for the show next weekend. (Justin they will be on there way to you next week.)

Friday I started with this.



then to this



Built this.



Now today we have this



and this.

Thanks, I'm still planning on using a 5.3, it is a long way off yet. After I get the suspension stage done it's time to build up the bank again.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)

Nice panel. My Dad & I had built a 57 Chevy panel back when I was in high school (about 20 years ago). Back then the thing to do was Camaro clip them. With the tools & skills I've acquired over the years I plan to help my Son with building his pickup (56 GMC) in a couple of years. He's wanting to bag it, chop the top, section the hood & a whole lotta other things.

Bolt pattern is different. You would need the pattern changed or run adapters.

Quick dumb question, the second pic of taillights, what are those from on the blue truck?
They kinda look like 55-57 Cameo taillights.

Nope, 54 Chevy tail lights. The Cameo tail lights look a lot like them though.

Thanks Levi, your ride is awesome too.

Levi drives his '50 down around 3-4 hours I'm guessing and the next day he gets on the dyno for 3 pulls and then I turn around and he's doing the burnout competion with the new tires he drove down in. Crazy...

I'll post pics of the panel and the area that all the members trucks were in later today.

Then I'll post what all I did to the panel the weekend before to get it to the show. I'm still beat

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)

As promised here’s what went on Labor Day weekend. I sent the wife off to the lake with my family, so I had no interruptions.

Friday started off with a bare stock frame and the new narrowed cross member that Scott’s made me up and got right out to me. I wanted more travel and decided that I needed to go narrower and longer arms to get it. Justin at Scott’s is awesome, more on this later. Next bolted everything up to find out where my max drop would be so I could locate the cross member at the right height. Then came out the 2x4 3/16 tubing for the new frame rails. Made a step up for the new rails so the cross member would be located at the right height. Lots of in and out, squaring, cutting, welding, and grinding.









Here’s a neat little tool I made for finding the length of the angled pieces.
