Re: 71 c30 project

I'm not at that bridge yet. I think I'll probably use the performance on line tubular perches and drill the bottom hole into the 88 crossmember. I'm going to run an LS motor. That's the "plan" for now

Re: 71 c30 project

Oh ok that sounds pretty sweet! I'm gonna try to adapt the 73-87 mounts to the 71 frame and cross member so I can run the motor mounts I want for the Cummins diesel if I get to it soon I will let you know encase your plans change.

Re: 71 c30 project

Thanks a million! That is some good news and a relief to see. Same thing with the weather down here. About a 1/2" of snow, sleet, slush!!! General nastiness. It will pass though. Keep up the great job, looking good my friend.

Wade

Re: 71 c30 project

Had some slow time at work tonight and started working on a rear cross member.. Wanna see what you guys think. Still got to weld it up and notch it to slide up into the rail about an inch, then I'll quarter some 2" pipe to get a good radius look on the back of the frame

Thanks Bomp! I have been wanting to take a cracked at fabrication and figured this truck was as good a time as any to start.

Re: 71 c30 project

Moose, that rear crossmember looks really well built, I like the look of it. Are you doing a wood or steel floor? That pattern would look awesome for cross sills.

Hey thanks man! Well I really was leaning toward a steel floor but the more I surf different threads and see guys hinging the wood floors so people can see all the work the more I like the idea of a wood floor

Re: 71 c30 project

Hey guys sorry for the hiatus, been real busy with work, kids, and house.. here is a small update, working on moving my steering box up 1.5" to go along with the crossmember. First pic is the frame after removing the offsets for the box, second is mockup to see if I need to change anything and it looks like I'm going to have to notch the frame for bolt clearance on the top left hole. I hope every body subscribed and or read has been doing good!

Re: 71 c30 project

Hey guys hope everybody is having a good Easter weekend. I was able to work on the truck for a little while today and got the steering box moved up and the notch for the bolt in the top left done. But now after mounting the box I think I am gonna have to notch the frame a bit more on the bottom to clear the pitman arm during travel

Nothing lately, been doing a lot of reinvention to my house and just broke ground on a new shop. But if you have any questions I'll answer as best I can.

I really like your project! quick question. what is involved in using the c10 frame with the Porterbuilt control arms for the dually front wheels. Thanks

The front crossmembers are the same across the board.. c10 - c30 so a c30 member will bolt into a c10 frame or simply bolt the c30 arms onto the c10 crossmember
