Sorry about the photos loading like that. Their should be about an 1/8 clearance preside of the shock. I was thinking about going out the garage and make some thicker spacers on the lathe instead of using a boat load of washers

Lets see if the photos load this time.

I had these shock mounts brackets cut out at work. I would like to know if anyone sees an issue with this set up. I have a guy that lives near by and says that I do not have enough travel with the shocks. According to the manufacturer the shocks should be mounted 12" center to center. The...

Thanks I will give that a try. I didn't think that these would be a something a part store would carry

I have a 9 1/4 rear end out of a 1976 Plymouth Fury with 11" brakes . I have just recently discovered that I am missing the brake strut bar and the emergency brake lever for both sides. Was wondering if any one here would be able to tell me what other make vehicle and years would work. Maybe...

Thanks for the suggestions. I went to our local sears to see if they would save me one or two of their large appliance boxes. Today has been kind of a bust went out to pickup in the garage, only to find that my monitor heater has died :mad:. I had it serviced last year and I was told that it...

I need to lower my bed on my truck by about 6" to get the bed and bottom of the cab to line up. I know that I will need to make my cut longer than that to allow for travel of rear suspension. I am planning on doing a triangulated 4 bar setup just not sure how much I should plan on the rear...

Okay I know zip on transmissions. What I am building is a 354 Hemi. I have been dealing with Hot Heads Hemi. If I follow there suggestions I am hoping to get about 450-500hp. Ideal I would like to mount a blower on it at some point. Now my problem I would like to go with a manual tranny...

Another step closer Not a good photo will take more later on

One step closer to a finished frame I had Ron from RPM cut out my plates for me, which came out real nice. I was going to start tacking welding them this weekend. But because of the snow fall Friday I was forced to do clean-up instead. There is always next weekend. Now for my next question...

I think that you are correct I have been told that the indent in the firewall was an indication of a 37 to 38 cab

A fool and his money are soon parted? I had made a deal with a local body man to work on my cab for me. He had suggested that I should get the cab acid dipped. Before he did any work to it. Sounded like a good idea to me at the time. Here are some before and after pictures.

A better setup What would be a better setup parallel 4 bar or triangulated. Or is there another rear suspension setup that I have not considered

I want to do a triangulated four bar with coil over spring setup. Would I be better off to buy a kit. If so who would you all recommend to go through. I have seen what Speedway offers and welderseries.com, what are my choices. I do have the ability to fabricate most things at home with my...

Thanks for the link if you get a chance to post some picks that would be great. More information that I have all the better.

when I was a kid I would spend my money at the local hobby store. It turned out lady that worked behind the counter was the same lady that I bought the cab and bed from. She always did like me so I think that helped when purchased the cab from her.

Photo as the truck sat before I bought it

About six years ago, a guy that I work with came up to me and asked. If I was interested in buy a mid 30's Dodge truck, that his mother-in-law was selling. I had told him that I would look at. I was not expecting much for something 70 years old. When I went to look at it I found it to be in...

A little ambitious I have been think (which is dangerous for me) as to how I want my front frame rails to look like. I would like to thank all that have replied to my post. Last night I had taken home my work computer so that I could play with Solid Works. I came up with one idea however it...
