Re: 70 GMC in progress.
Thank you Crimespree, I cut out ALL the coils, Cupped the Lower control arms, Notched out my left upper control arm for the steering shaft, and pancaked the front crossmember 1.5 inches.
So I got the carrier bearing loose, and found that Ill have to remove the crossmember to give it enough room to move up. I thought Id be able to just notch it.
So I welded in a bar above it and cut it out, I left the sides in place for added strength. I will probably add some angled supports fromt he remaining crossmember stubs up to the bar I welded in.
Looks like I may have to cut out the top of the main crossmemer to alow even more room to lift it up. You see the piece of steel sitting in place at the back of the cab.
Last pic shows the brake line I re routed and clipped to the notch.
