Re: Project 30 Be Low
Lots has changed in my plan for the build as I have spend most waking hours mentally designing the build when I should have been doing other things.
So hunting around the junk yard I found a pretty nice 8 lug axle out of a Silverado 2500. The axle that is in the C30 now I believe is a 4.56 Eaton rear end which is really hard find freeway gears and find other parts for it so I will just sell it to some rock crawler guys and fund the build. The Silverado axle is 3.73 from first look so it will be only seals and bearings that need to be replaced not the whole third member.
Also out are the 16" Alcoa wheels for some 20" wheels that will fit around the large disk brakes. The axle is about 5" wider than the original but since I am planning a custom flat bed the width doesn't really matter as much. The extra width will actually help in designing the four link bagged suspension.
The 402 BBC and TH400 are also on the chopping block to make room for a 6.0/4L80E combo.
