Saw a 72 clip for sale in WA $250 however I prefer later model ones with the steering linkage in front of the motor cross member. |

[QUOTE=idbeast;8155202]77 Nova, same as Camaro and Firebird.[/QUO
How close are the frame rails as far as left to right spacing? I have a manual rack and pinion steering that the customer provided but I think I'm gonna sell it and go with the tried and true GM set up. 11" brakes? W |
Re: 55 GMC vs 55 Chevy differences
I'll have to measure later when I get home. Rack and pinion steering linkage doesn't line up with steering column very well. If you look at the bottom of this post you can see my Nova sub frame welded in.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=751443

What was your total ride height drop? Using the stock Nova springs or did you take a coil out? William |

I don't remember total ride height drop, but here are a couple pictures of untouched nova spring height.

Re: 55 GMC vs 55 Chevy differences
The 73 has the steering linkage behind cross member, just remember it is a little more difficult to run the steering shaft, more angle.
Take the front bumper and all lines off. Then the front sub fame is just bolted to the front chassis with 4 bolts!!! |

It bolts in?? I thought it was just part of the frame!! Easy. Yeah, I was hoping for the steering to have more of a direct shot but, these are getting harder to come by so I may have to make the best of it. |

Here is a couple pics of the 74 Camaro frame for you, nova is basically the same thing.

Re: 55 GMC vs 55 Chevy differences

Re: 55 GMC vs 55 Chevy differences
I'm thinking 18mm but definitely take both American your metric sockets!
Keep me posted with how it is going!!! |
Re: 55 GMC vs 55 Chevy differences
Take some ratchet straps and some old wood blocks so it has something to fall on when the bolts are out.
Metric stuff Standard stuff Hammer to persuade Prybar in case Bin for nuts and bolts? Grab ps pump and hoses too if possible? Grab rear sway bar as well if possible? Strg column? Rear diff as well Lots of stuff you could use from a camaro if the parts are cheap. |
