No Limit Pro-C10 chassis/truck build

As we have had a ton of questions about the new designed chassis, this should be a great showcase of the build and install process.

We have a customer with a nice, clean, '70 SWB. It has a BBC and a TH350. He has had this truck for a long time, and wants it to drive like a newer car/truck.

** He does NOT want to raise the bed floor (so we will use OE height rear rails). But he does want a 5"/7" drop, and will be running Schot 22" wheels. He has sent us picts of trucks that he likes, and also of the wheel lip setback and stance. Our goal is to be able to deliver the chassis/truck that he wants.

For our Pro-C10 chassis, we can choose between two front rail sets, two rear rail set, stock or dropped spindles, two lengths of A-arms, and three different standard housing widths.

What KD wants is right in the middle of two sets. So, we will use OE spec rails front and rear, stock height spindles, 1 1/4" + front A-arms, 62" rear housing, and 5" stroke rear shocks. IF, when we are all done, the truck needs to drop a bit more, we will swap to 2" dropped front spindles, and a 4.2" rear coil-over.

Here is Jay laying up the rail sets in the fixture. We pre build rails in big batches, these are 3/16" P/O steel on the sides, and 10 ga. (.134") top and bottom. These are fixture built with spacers and bridges to keep them true. The front and rear rails are joined on by a section of 2" x 6" x .120 wall tubing. All parts are fitted and bolted into the fixture before any welding.

The dark red truck in the background is the project truck.
