Hi Guys,
I have a 1993 Chevy shortbox stepside. I want to put a 4 link triangular suspension on it. When I took the rear axle off the truck and sand blasted it. I found that the axle tube was almost rusted through in the spring attachment locations. There is another person who described the...
A bit of a slow start as I had my left knee replaced this spring. I managed to finish stripping off parts and a buddy let me use his sand blaster before we took off to Arizona for the winter. 20 bags of sand and about 4 hours. Pics are the frame and axle but there were many more smaller parts...
Question for guys with arear axle flip with a 6" drop.
I am down to the bare fame (spring and shock brackets gone) on my '93 stepside and it will be sandblasted and primed later this week. I would like to start on a 4 link and coil overs for my rear suspension and I would like a 6" drop. To set...
My truck is a Regular Cab Short Box 1500. I'm working on a frame off restoration (lots of rust in this area) and LS swap. There is an undamaged (and mostly rust free) frame for a 2500HD Regular Cab 8' Box for sale locally. I went to it twice with the idea of replacing my SB frame with the...

I think I'll let the...
I am inexperienced at chopping a top. I have a friend that chopped a 1953 Chevy Coupe and I like his end result. He is willing to help me. One can learn from your own experience and one can learn from others experience. Right now I'm trying to get a feeling for myself of all the obstacles to...
The idea of chopping the top about 4 inches in my '93 RCSS is stuck in my head. Local guys at the glass shop say they can cut the laminated glass for the windshield but I will have to "paint" the black edges so the glue doesn't deteriorate. Instead of tempered glass in the rear they can use...
I fondly remember the days working on my brothers Corvair and my 68 Firebird when we were teenagers. I am now 67 and retired. Lots of time on my hands so I purchased a 1993 Chevy 1500 Regular Cab Sportside 2WD Auto project. 340,000 kilometers, rusted rocker panels, rusted cab corners, front...
