    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    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...

    93 SBSS

    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...

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    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...

    Long Bed -----> Short Bed conversion questions

    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...

    (88-94) Wanted a new radio with factory looks and modern features, RetroSound installed!

    What did you do for the "hole" in the center of the dash where the factory cassette was?

    Chopped Cab

    Thanks for all the responses guys. I was a passenger in a 1963 Comet Caliente hardtop rollover in my youth. No one killed but two of the guys in the front got scalped when the windshield folded down to the doors, so I totally get the role that the HSS plays in the pillers. I think I'll let the...

    Chopped Cab

    That's good information. And good advice. Is there a way to weld it and then heat treat it in a way that restores the strength?

    Chopped Cab

    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...

    Chopped Cab

    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...

    Just getting started on my rebuild. I'm going to learn a lot!

    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...
