The blue tape shows the area that was already ground.
Basically the lower edge is "cleaned up" and about 1" of the lip is removed from the front and rear side of the a-arm.

You will still need to check for clearance issues with the truck on the ground.
Also turn the wheels to the left and right and check for rubbing against the wheels.

Sorry for the late response, I don't check this thread very often anymore. No ,didn't sell it ,I still have the truck.

Sometimes I want to sell it and sometimes I don't, who knows if I ever will or not.

Painter D · 07-14-2011, 07:02 PM

I dont know if thats possible.

n2billet · 07-14-2011, 10:43 PM

Congrats on the sale Danny........might be time for some new shoes on the Riv.

72BlckButy · 07-14-2011, 10:50 PM

BTW... whatever happened to your dad's '83 SWB?

Also... did you notice a difference with the vacuum reservoir on the truck after mounting? My FIL is having issues with his '69; seems as though his motor (big cam) is robbing from his brakes.

mcbassin · 07-14-2011, 11:22 PM

congrats on the sale. I'm sure you're gonna miss this truck for sure. It is a first class build all the way. I bet the new owner is more than a happy camper. Link to the Riviera build?

Sold the 83, it needed too much stuff. The vacuum reservoir didn't improve the brakes much at all.
