Re: 51 chevy 3100 5 window build

For the axle flips for lowering and ride quality I've seen some comments where people say use a bolt in rather than a weld in.
Personally seems like we weld so much on altering these trucks that it shouldn't be an issue ..... but makes me wonder why the bolt in kits etc ?

http://djmsuspension.com/flip-kits/

"Resist the temptation to weld these plates in. Your frame is probably tempered which means you can weaken it by applying heat. It’s a little more work to drill the holes but a lot safer."

Is it that our frames are not tempered steel ?

Never quite understood it exactly --- I know when I owned my diesel guys on that forum would freak out if you mentioned welding on frame.

nice looking truck.

Re: 51 chevy 3100 5 window build

Body is off getting sand blasted. Should be done this weekend weather pending we had some tornadoes in our area this past weekend so kinda put a damper on things. Gonna ha e my spot at the metal work shop on the next month or so. So possibly going to have the motor and trans built on the mean time.

Re: 51 chevy 3100 5 window build

Nice, did you blast that yourself? if so how long did that take and would you do it again without an enclosure?

Re: 51 chevy 3100 5 window build

No I didn't blast it myself I had a buddy of mine get it done for me. Got it home this past Saturday and applied Gem rust killer in the entire body. Hopefully it's off to metal work soon. Trying to get a friend of mine lined out for a place he can do the work. Whole new roof panel, ls fab firewall, toe boards, and kick panels, whole new front and rear floor, rockets and cab corners, and new lower door skins.
