Re: My dad and I building 62 C10

Very nice work! i really like the crossmember modification. Thats a great idea. i have a 62 also with the T-bars and it rides very nice, but i have it lowered just about as far as it'll go and still be driveable on our wonderful Ohio roads I would like to do something similar to mine what your doing to yours to get it lower. Are you sticking with the 235? If you are, I was just curious what your plans were for the mounts? because the crossemeber mount is gunna be higher now in relation to the frame/body and the engine on a greater angle.
