Hey Guys,

Just a general question about the swap, I'm looking at doing it on a 55. I hear horror stories about people mounting them wrong and having problems with alignment.

If you level your truck frame.

-Then brace the frame so it does not twist or flex.

-Cut the truck frame off at the proper length.

-Make sure it is still level.

-Then cut the camaro frame at the proper length and

-WHILE installing/welding the camaro frame make sure that the upper spring mounts are at the correct angle,

wouldn't that justify the proper install.

I mean isn't it that easy?
