Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne

I got the wheels mounted on the tires < the wheel shop was not able to balance them because they didnt fit on the machine.
I installed the bed for a moch up for the measurement of the new rear end , back side of the wheel to back side of wheel, minus a 1/2" for the brake rotors roughly at 1/4" each. I will have 2" clearance in the front from the lip of the fender and 3" on the back side from the frame. I will order a custom rear axle with Ford 9” big-bearing “Torino” (BBT) or “new style” housing ends, moser 31 spline axles.
here are the following specs




For the center section i will run a track lock posi with 4.11or + gears.
As for the rear suspension i will use Ridetechs 4 link with their new adjustable coilovers.
For the rear brakes i plan on running big breaks from a C6 z06 style 340x26mm 13.4" with 4 piston calipers
Here are a few pics of the moch up
