Re:Offset washers Also,the washers will center themselves as you tighten the bolts. Just drop them in the precut holes in the bed wood,insert...
I was thinking more along the lines of the 85,86 model year. Bedsides are a lot flatter.
Just wondering if anyone has tried adapting an S-10 bed to your truck? My bed floor and mounting rails are pretty well shot. I'd want to use my...
Not in my truck,but I built a 51 Chevy sedan with a 327 more than a few years ago and they worked fine for that application. I have a Nova...
Chiro,look up a set of the old 55-57 smallblock ram's horn exhaust manifolds. These should do the trick for you.[IMG]
Nate,I used a 77 Nova rear in my 53. It may not work on the pickup rear.
Rear Install Hope I'm not too late with this tidbit,but there is no need to buy a rear end relocator kit. Simply take off your springs and turn...

Why don't you first try flipping the whole assembly over and see if it brings the bumper height up? You might then modify the brackets to move the...
Sweet paint job coilover! I used a Nova clip on mine and it dropped it a lot more than that. Of course that's what I wanted and i added 2"...
