Back-half, Corvette C4 in 69
Here's some pics of a back-half, C4 install we're doing in a 69 C10. It will lay frame and have a pair of Air Ride Technologies Shockwaves canti-levered. I also have a nice before pic.

Re: Back-half, Corvette C4 in 69
I like the design of the reinforcement where it ties into the frame. I also like your miter cut gussetting. Lookin sweet!

That's pretty sweet looking. Very impressive welds too.

Re: Back-half, Corvette C4 in 69
Beautiful work! In the far future I'd like to do that to my '67 for some Open Road Racing. The welding and brackets are very classy.

Re: Back-half, Corvette C4 in 69
Getting your $$$ back out of that CNC plasma cutter huh?!?! So very nice! Wondering what the rear bed cross-sill will rest on, but I'm sure it's all planned out. Keep the pics rollin'.

You will find out soon enough about how we mount the bed... and you better believe it about the CNC plasma! I don't think anything could get done without it! I used to do the hand plasma and grind thing when I first started out, but I was never satisfied with the end result... never could get it "perfect" or close enough to where it didn't keep me from sleeping at night! I am one of those who holds myself to an extremely high standard. Here's a couple more pics of the back-half minus bed and body. We still have to finish up the shockwave and canti-lever mounts (It would have been done by now if I had remembered to re-stock on plate!) It shows how low it can go! |

"Bags" aren't for everybody! We are doing a full C4 set-up on a 71 Blazer that will not be bagged. It will have coil-overs up front, and either mono-leaf or coil-ovrs in the rear. Hopefully we will get to the chassis on it in the next month or two (most likely 2!). |

Re: Back-half, Corvette C4 in 69
A few more questions for you if you don't mind. With the vett set up out back what size tire/rim combo will fit between the bed lip and forward control links while still laying frame? Also if you can please explain to us theadvantage of this set up over a solid axel. Handling, bed floor clearance at same givin heights, tire size!
Thanks for your time. Also you have two packages headed your way ![]() Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: Back-half, Corvette C4 in 69
Very sweet set-up sure hope to see a clear or false bed floor that could raise up to show off all that hard work it would be a shame to cover it all up...

Re: Back-half, Corvette C4 in 69
Did you have to narrow the rear any? What is the track width on it?
