Re: newbe look for some ideas

If there is anybody that has done one of these style trucks with the camaro sub frame please post a pic, I would love to see if how I'm gonna do this is close to what others have done.

We did a bounch of measuring last night and came up with this Idea. The frame narrows rapidly but just under the fire wall its close to 32" outside rail to rail, which is about the same as the camaro from the center of each rail.

What I want to do is make a cut at the top and bottom of the origanal truck frame at that 32" width point and spread the rails about 7/8 of a inch which would make them run straight again and paralle to the camaro rails.
Then I can graft the two together and box all in.
I think this should work great. I'll take some pics of the progress.
I also think we will do some tube a-arms maybe some 1" a side narrower to gain some room and keep my track width the same front to back.
