Re: Punched in the face.
It does but it was done to improve caster mainly. Mine drives like it's a 1/2 ton sport truck. Originally I built the lower arms & shifted them .750" forward for the same reason.

There's a simple mod where you can shift your lower arms forward about .75". I'm not sure how well it would work with bags, but springs work just fine with the offset. I only moved mine forward 1/2" because I didn't want to do a lot of clearancing on the arms and it still made a noticeable difference in handling. Moving the wheel forward was just an added bonus. It wasn't by much but it was noticeable to my scrutinizing eye. Here's a link to the mod: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=501241

Re: Punched in the face.
Been super busy with work and working on my other ****.
Anyone have a cloning machine? Drove it to the shop so at least I'd be reminded of it everyday. First time driving this thing on the road since I bought it. Also noticed my bed sits crooked. Driving it on the road motivated me and I hoped having it parked at the shop would get me to work on it. It worked, front clip swap. [IMG][/IMG] |
