Re: Project "Moonshiner" Bagged & Z Frame 63
If you are going to modify the lower, then why not the upper as well? You could correct the heavy angle on the ball joint. It'll take a bit of work to get the geometry correct, but hell, if your up for the task... Why not give her a shot?
 Edited!!!! Hahahaha Scratch that! I see you are well ahead of my thoughts here!!!! LOL

Re: Project "Moonshiner" Bagged & Z Frame 63
Popcorn, you're a maniac! I haven't seen someone build a stepped a-arm in a long time. You already know this, but gusset the crap out of it, and box it where ever you can.
If you want to gain a bunch of caster, check out my caster thread, where I devised a very simple way to gain a bunch of caster for essentially no money. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=501241 I love what you're doing, keep it up. Maximum effect, with high quality work being done on the cheap. You're talking my language!!

 Thanks! Yea, low-buck is the name of the game here. I figured I'd give this a try. Worse case, it cost me welding wire, Argon and some time.I know I may get flamed for this  but I really didn't want to convert to disks either, which is required with the drop spindles. Thing is, I'm an old school old timer old fart. I was in high school when this truck was new, if that gives you an idea. I've got nothing against disks, I'll convert to dual master cylinder, but I'm very comfortable with drums.It looks like I'll have plenty of room for some substantial gussets that can run the outer edges of the arms with no problems. And thanks for the caster idea. I'm subscribing to that thread to save it.

Re: Project "Moonshiner" Bagged & Z Frame 63
Weird camera angles kinda make it look like a longbed but it's a short bed.
