Re: How much to Z , I wanna lay rocker ona 64
I have a 3" Z, 3" drop spindles, and bags with an '82 crossmember on my '63 frame with a '62 body. It lays frame, but not rocker. The pinch weld is about 1/16"-1/8" off the ground. I don't think you can lay rocker with these trucks without a body drop?! Here's some pics:

Re: How much to Z , I wanna lay rocker ona 64
Thanks for kind words. If I could do it over again I'd make the notch shorter. I wanted to give myself some room so I could run a taller tire. It also helped with the shock location. If it had been lower I'd have trouble finding shocks or have to mount them somewhere else.
It depends on how tall your tire is, but you'd probably be fine with an 8" step notch. I think that is the standard size that everyone else runs. I extended mine to make it taller. I like 235s...started putting it back together. Here's the split manifold I'm running. Should sound nice with no mufflers!

Re: How much to Z , I wanna lay rocker ona 64
great looking setup you have there.
what's your plan for the drive shaft? it might be a camera angle, but it appears that your frame will snap it in two when you air it up. |
