Dam, that sucks...I just get laid off Teusday, so yeah, i know what your talkin about.

chevykid65 · 10-11-2010, 12:50 AM

lookin good. any info on your rear spring setup? also like to know how you got the rear shock mount set up.

rain_man · 10-11-2010, 10:40 AM

got any pics of the inside of the bed did u have to remove or move it up at all

chopper john · 10-13-2010, 01:36 AM

if you look at earlier pics you can see what i cut out on the bed . as for the rear i also have a few pics. sorry i lost all my pics my computer took a dump. the rear is c notched and has g body springs cut in half

chevykid65 · 10-16-2010, 12:48 AM

how did you secure the rear springs inside the cups? and how about your rear shock mounts. been trying to figure out a way to do em like yours. hope to see the truck up and running again soon.

chopper john · 10-18-2010, 01:29 AM

the spring is only bolted on the trailing arm the top is just centered to the frame . i ran front shocks from the stock position on the trailing arm. and put studs on the step notch. the spring is so short that it wont slide off . and the shocks keep it from coming off the frame.

chopper john · 10-29-2010, 01:15 AM

alright so this is what ive been workin on. its finally coming together. the 6 cyl gods have not been happy with me. i blew my 6 , intsalled another and 2 months later pow #2. so im converting to v8 . but befor i install it im gonna clean up the firewall . so it matches the motor. take a look , let me know what you think.

KruizerKing91 · 10-29-2010, 02:51 AM

i sure ****in hope that i dont have those kinda problems with my 6 once my 60 is goin. diggin the finned valve covers. what kinda tranny are you gonna put behind it?

chopper john · 10-30-2010, 12:34 AM
