Re: Project 66: LS and Frame on the Ground

CB kit came yesterday in a bunch of boxes. I didn't have time last night to go through it so tonight after work I started the unwrapping and began on the front end.
The dropmember uses the factory holes but the bolts are a tad larger so you need to run a step drill bit and you are good to go. From there you add the inner frame support, upper bag mount and engine mounts. The engine mounts will go on the motor before dropping it in to ease that process.
Once the drop member is in its just a process of installing your ball joints and bushings and then installing them on the drop member. Really not too much.
The hardest part is making sure you have the parts on the correct side of the truck.
I still need to install the lower ball joints and the shock relocation brackets and then I am moving on to the rear.
