Re: 1957 chevy family truck
The temp fix work ran her and she's not knocking oil pressures good I'm going to raise the motor and tranny up a bit. Guy at the auto parts store suggested cutting off old pan and welding it on the new one like a scrape plate

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
Glad you're back on the road.
I like the stance. What size tires? How much clearance between the front cross-member and the ground? Thanks |

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
I'm running smaller tires up front there 205 70 15 and 215 75 15 in the rear wrapped around some 1956 chevy wheels. if I had to guess I would say my cross member is about 4 inches off the ground. before I switch the tires the old tires gave it more of a tail dragger look. I miss it but these knew tires offer more clearance up front for steering
