47-55.1 Leveling a Frame? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dongray · 04-18-2020, 06:22 PM

Ok, I was hesitant to ask this question but can’t find it in the factory manual. I am wanting to level my frame (1950 1/2 ton) on jack stands but what portions of the frame are on the same plane and should equally distant to the ground?
The only section that appears along the same plane to me is the frame under the cab but I’m not certain. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I would say that you are correct.

The first couple of pages in this link are the pages from the assembly manual that show how far to space the cab off the frame in case you don't have the info. https://s173.photobucket.com/user/mr...?sort=2&page=1

Thanks Mr48. I actually have the manuals and appreciate the help. I’m going to create a new post with just the cab problem so I can keep it separate from the frame question. I would appreciate if you read it and let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Eric
