Since Halloween is close here's some scary (suspension) stuff - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**N2TRUX** · 10-27-2003, 01:28 AM

Please don't try this at home....

**N2TRUX** · 10-27-2003, 01:29 AM

From the bottom...

**N2TRUX** · 10-27-2003, 01:29 AM

You want more? I found a bunch in just one thread....

**N2TRUX** · 10-27-2003, 01:30 AM

These guys just don't get it....

**N2TRUX** · 10-27-2003, 01:35 AM

Not sure whats worse here. The strange looking bridge, or the poor Burb they have hacked to death...

**N2TRUX** · 10-27-2003, 01:37 AM

This should hold a truck up, shouldn't it?

**N2TRUX** · 10-27-2003, 01:38 AM

Ok, maybe that's not right, but I know this will work....

I've seen that truck in person and it's sweet and nothing is wrong with the suspension just that the notch is super ugly.

I have that same notch on the wife's 98 but it's installed correctly.

I stole them off of Sportruck.com. I think the are working on the site. They are back up again...for now

7T7 · 10-27-2003, 09:02 PM

Looks like an AIM notch. Right?

Just welded that sucker right on top of the old frame. nice.
Kids and welders.......
Damn shame.
Where is their daddy at?

7T7 · 10-27-2003, 09:16 PM

I like Sportruck.com for the events they cover, but the forum is a little like hanging out with a bunch of 14 year old know it alls.
Every one seems to be post experts.
Never did anything themselves but read a post about it before.

Don't get me wrong, I know a few of the guys over there know their chit, but for the most part it's a flame haven.
Especially the suspension forum.

It's soooo much nicer here.

Yeah the guy tried boxing it in around the sides and the frame and couldn't realize why there was a problem.

Mostly individuals doing work they have no clue about.
The pics were post on the sportruck.com forum

That was my first thought too when i saw these pics. Some people should take more time to plan out things. I'd rather build something over done and more heavy duty with braces and such rather than under done like on these pics.

jamis · 10-29-2003, 07:48 PM

I think these guys spent too much time in the scrap metal bin

phantom dually · 10-29-2003, 10:35 PM

I like the 1" frame. That is sure tho F someones day up soon.

If you mean the one that’s the bent tubing it’s not exhaust tubing. It’s 1.5” mandrel bent chromoly.
