I did a 1969 gmc so I know what goes into something like this. hanging the doors was the worst part!!

By far the best learning process I have ever done tho! Good work!

Did you make that 4 link or is it a kit? I am thinking of doing something similar on my 64 Chevy C-10.

I made them. Made them a little on the burly side b/c I put them on the inside of the frame. Makes more room for giant tires

If you're looking for someone to 4link and bag your truck drop me a line. I can talk to my buddy.

Here is a picture of the 54 he's building...


Ground up. Frame off. Mustang 2. Custom EVERYTHING. New firewall. Bags. Links. etc. Friggin sick. I'm not sure if he's down to take on work right now but I can ask. He's done a few trucks. I know he's down some work on that exact truck.

I'll see if I can find some stuff on the trucks he's worked on...
I know he notched one recently for an interior dude in san jose.

^right on. That car is bad ***! On the ground!! Me and my buddy are doing everything on the truck. I am a machinist and he's a tig welder/ sheet metal guy. We boxed the frame, made the 4-link, motor mounts, all cross members, custom firewall (cause we put the motor so far back) Iam making a over the top gas pedal, paint (gonna change it to flat white) custom stainless gas tank and we are gonna do a full cage. It had a cage but we are gonna redo it. Don't wanna bag it cause it's gonna get the drag strip treatment. Gonna get some big a** ballon style rear tires

Nice. Can't wait to see progress.

Yeah that post was more for the dude with the c-10 that was asking about links.

I'll have to get pictures of his link set up. It's INSANE. The car will literally do 80mph down the freeway a quarter inch off the ground. NOTHING hangs below the frame rails. When the car is done I guarantee you that it will be on the cover of at least one magazine and it won't be Ol' Skool Rods. The motor is moved back so it needed a custom fire wall... all smooth. AND it's lifted up so there will not be a hood on the car. Custom motor mounts. There is literally not one thing on the car that is completely stock. Even the body has some modifications too it.


I need to find a body man. I need my car blocked out. I'll remove and reinstall all the trim and do the paint. I just need primer/block.
