Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

made some ground over the weekend recieved my column and rear shocks

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

what length column did you go with? Looks good!

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

33" was a little long but it ended up working for me to clear the headers without a heim joint support. i could not find a good priced column with the o/d gear selector and key in 30" long.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

started making the coupling for the york halfway there

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

Very cool. I was thinking of installing one of these for some air horns on my truck.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

Your truck is looking Great, nice and low. couple of questions on your frame notch, what size is the steel you used to make it, and also how long are your upper and lower link bars, i am trying to figure out my rear end setup and i am getting different answers on how long to make the bars for a trianglated 4 link from the various forums. thanks

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

im pretty sure i used 1x2 1/4 wall on the c notch. whatever the top width of the frame is i used so i could still box over it and i doubled the thickness for the side.ill measure it when im home and let u know.I researched more of the 4x4 links to get a idea of what to run and how they work because the set up is way more imporant on them. if i did it again i would fab my own out of 2x2 1/4 wall and mount the bags on the bars mid-way down. that gives a better ride and u get more travel. live and learn ask a lot of questions and go with ur gut. the link set up i bought was on ebay cant remember the length but i wana say 32". hope i didnt confuse u more good luck.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

assembly has begun!!! :metal:

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

any reason you built the crossmember to go under the driveshaft?

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

ya it seemed easyer than above for clearance when the bags were out. the crossmember would have been higher than the top of the frame to clear the drive shaft. i didnt want to have to notch anything.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

:uhmk:frame is complete and out for blast and paint stay tuned for a assembly session coming soon:uhmk:

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

Ok it's been a while!! I made some progress on the frame and assembly has begun. I'll post some more pics as this progress but here's where im at rt now.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
 

First time seeing this one.. This is a great build you have going JB. I have mine on hold for now. I have been deep in my race car lately so haven't had a whole lot of time to work on the truck. Plan to start working on my cab in the next couple months.
