Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
How much clearance does stock radiator have to camaro steering box? Do you have any close up pics of front wheel in fender opening? My stock 55 looks like the axle centerline needs to be moved forward about an inch when i do the camaro clip.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
What i did was to mesure 114" (original wheel base) from the center of rear axle, then drew a chalk line on the floor below the clip front axle, with a couple pieces of string and a bar attached to the upper control arm i line up the front axle center line with the chalk mark on the floor, then welded the frame. The rad cleared the steering box a good 1/4 inch. Sorry i don't have new pictures of the front wheel and fender clearance. The body is off the modified frame and back to the original one right now.
