No Limit '72 C-10

[65Gregg]

Rob when are you guys going to install the rear bags on Project JT, you have convinced me that your rear shock relocator is the way I need to go along with 3 inch springs, however I like you want the option to carry a load or pull a trailer so there is no reason to put springs on then replace those with bags.

In June, we will be driving up to Pleasanton with a group from Pro-Touring.com, some on hwy 1, and some on 99, with a trans controller/programmer - looking at the Bully-Dog, we hope to get 24+ on the long sections, but that means no screwin' around, at least on the mileage test

The truck looks great!

What backspacing did you go with? Those rims look really good on the truck.

Hi Rob, Did you ever get a chance to check out the extended upper ball joints to get some camber gain? If I missed it, I apologize.

No problem. I've used them on others, but not yet on the JT. So far, we have the used upper arms on it. But, I can say with confidence that there is a gain hear, for cheap. If you need to replace yours, get the tall truck ball joints from Howe or the likes. You'll be glad you did. This weekend is the Great Labor Day Cruise in OC, we will be autocrossing there. Log in to our facebook for pict & video updates. Have a great weekend.

Our new C-10 front bar mount directly to the frame rail. If equipped, the factory standoff must go. the rivit connecting the frame rail to the front crossmember is removed, and then a 3/8" hole is drilled 3" behind on the rail.

[robnolimit]

This is the front bolt-through the rivit hole. the bar is big 1 3/8" dia.

[robnolimit]

With ridetech a-arms the sway bar link connects to the tab provided. the link is appx 9" long, long enough to get the bar up above stock style steering.

[robnolimit]

On a stock arm, you need to drill a 3/8" hole int he arm. This is an old tet pict-hence the nifty all thread.

Did you happen to get any exhaust routing shots while you had it on the lift.

[aggie91]

I saw the article in Street Trucks about the suspension mods. Can you elaborate more on what you did for the front crossmember and for the mods to the rear frame? Pictures would be nice...

Thanks,

[robnolimit]

Here is the J.T. going to powder coat with a chassis in the back.

[eightbanger]

Now a cool longbed would have swallowed the majority of that frame.

This pic makes me smile every time I see it.

[smbrouss70]

What is that chassis going under? It looks awfully tall.

[BustedTruck]

I didn't see it anywhere, but I am curious I want to set my 5.3 back further. Did you make your own engine stands or where can I purchase them?

[robnolimit]

With the crossmember up 1 1/2", it was easier just to make new mounts. The firewall is stock, but we set the motor back as far as we could.

Rob,

it was sure nice to get to meet you at the Good Guys Lone Star show in Fort Worth! It was humbling to know that you had some something to do with my El Camino. Thanks so much for signing my magazine, I will treasure it for as long as I can.

Look forward to seeing more of Joe Touring, keep up the awesome support of the board and those of us who live thru your work.

It was great to meet you A.C. For those that don't know, A.C. has the Painless Performance El Camino. I know it made a few Hot Rod Power Tours, and it was cool to see it in Texas at the GoodGuys show. A.C. is a true American Hero!! and is now working for the US ARMY on contract in Afganistan. (I hope I got that right) At home, he is working with a christian rod club (sorry A.C. I forgot the name) to help out as he can. It was great to meet you A.C. , I should have had you sign something of mine. Keep the faith. Next time I show up in Texas, I need to give you a rider in the 'Bullit.

[a.c.ward]

Rob, you got it all right! Great that you remember this old soldier.

For those intrested in the Christian Car Club that I belong to, here is a link:

holyrollerz.org

we are a nation wide club, with multiple chapters in many states, over 6500 members as of 10/15/2011, and growing.

Thanks to Rob and the No Limit crew for remmebering those who have served, and still serve. The honor is all mine to be able to rub elbows with those who make a huge impact in this hobby/business and know that they take the time to talk to us, even thou all weekend, there were many folks lined up to talk to them.

Thanks again Rob, and keep the faith brother.

GODSPEED

[BustedTruck]

Thank You for your service A.C.

Rob on the front cross member, I didn't see that in this thread do you have any details or pictures on how this was done?

[hotrod1]

Hey Rob:

I am interested in using hydroboost unit. I have your front power steering rack (t bird, I think). I will be using a LS motor and what ever pump comes with it. Are there any adapters or anything that I will need to do? Doesn't Ford use lower pressure?

Wow, great build. I love the inovation and developing parts to improve handling.

I really like how you re-located the lower ball joint. I'll have to look into this.

My question is, can you raise the anti-squat too much? Because the anti-squat lines with or without drop blocks would be different correct? So with say 2" drop blocks and flipped trailing arm mounts, is that going to be too much. Is it "more the merrier, or find the happy medium?

I love it when 'the class' pays attention....
