u didnt have to change the cross member correct? just spindles and lower control arms
?
nice work.

**SoCoC10** · 09-03-2015, 08:53 AM

Yes just lower control arms, upper lower ball joints, drop spindles. Left the original crossmember in.

**SoCoC10** · 09-03-2015, 08:58 AM

At the metal shop getting the frame and bed floor shortened.

**SoCoC10** · 09-03-2015, 09:02 AM

Original floor, front panel and tailgate will be used with new Good mark bed sides.

**SoCoC10** · 10-02-2015, 07:19 PM

She's back home now.

I removed the HD rear springs,8 lug C20 rear diff and installed a 76 Chevy 5 on 5" rear diff w/ 3.73 gears CCP 5" rear drop springs, new Ubolts and hardware. Took the driveshaft in to be shortened too. Next week, I hope to get the driveshaft back and installed, fab up new rear brake lines, bleed the system, paint the new bed sides, install the grey Boss 338s gathering dust at the tire shop and load it up to take to the exhaust shop.

**SoCoC10** · 10-07-2015, 12:27 AM

Got some paint work done.

**SoCoC10** · 10-07-2015, 12:30 AM

Used the original front wall, tailgate and steel floor.

**SoCoC10** · 10-10-2015, 09:27 AM

1st drive as a short bed was just a turn around in the court. Still have to fab rear brake lines, install new exhaust, add patina to bed sides and install bed trim.
