Re: Project '33

Small update on this one.

Chris decided against the drop axle, and we're gonna just pull some leaves out of the front spring pack. Going down to 18" tires, it ought to give us about 4 inches of drop. Not quite the 8" I would have liked to see, but it's not my truck.

Spend the last several days wrestling with kingpins. Here's the 53 Chevy 3/4 ton axle we intend to put under the truck. New kingpins, brakes, hardware, etc. We rebuilt the wheel cylinders also, So it will stop with fluid instead of friction. He also picked up some 80's dodge dually front adaptors, so we can keep the cool wheels. Hoping to get this axle under the truck this weekend.
