C10CJ: A Pro-touring '71 Stepside on a No Limit Pro-C10 Chassis

Thank you for the tremendous amount of detail on this build. I picked up my NoLimit chassis last week and will begin setting up the sheetmetal shortly.

What body mounts did you go with? I ordered an Energy Suspension kit and the body mount cushions don't drop into the frame tabs. Did you have to wallow out your body mount holes?

Hey Guys ... sorry for the lack of updates. It's been a busy time at work and I've only been hitting the truck on weekends. Then this week on Tuesday I lost my shop dog to acute kidney failure. She was only 11. It's been a tough Thanksgiving for sure. Trying to get back to normal activities.

I went with same as you, energy suspension. I had a set on that was about 10 years old and just replaced with the same.

And yes sir, me and the die grinder had to nibble away at the body mounts on the chassis. I just nibbled away until they would barely slide in there (only needed to do the front/back of the hole). Then shot some of that epoxy rattle can stuff earlier in the thread on the exposed steel.

In my absence here I did put together a video discussing the potential need for a cab notch on the No Limit chassis. It's posted over on the truck's youtube page so here's a link:

Thanks. I figured I couldn't be the only one. I went back thru your photos and most of the shots had the cab cushions still sitting on the mounts. Doesn't look like much material will need to be removed.
