79 C10 5.3l swap setting up for auto x
#45
So I took my bed off to make it easier to work around and found that one of my front spring hangers was taken off and welded up higher. The drivers side was three inches higher than the passenger. So had to fix that before I could go any further. Got the drums off and now I need to order some rotors and calipers. Then I can set my pinion angle and weld my perches on.
Gotta figure out a different way to mount these shocks too. I dont like them at a 45. I was thinking of cutting of the mounts and spinning them around to the front side and making a bar from drivers to passengers side to be my top mount. Anyone else play around with different shock mounting ideas? I have my tank behind the axle so I cant go behind the axle with the shocks.

Cut those springs hangers off completely and order a KP components bolt on 4 link
Cool build, reminds me of the white stepper with the orange wheels... I think it's on Hotchkis suspension

So I had to replace my positive cable going to my cutout switch. It was tiny and bugging me since the rest of the truck is done with welding cable.
Got the disc brackets on and the hubs mounted to the rotors. Now to decide which calipers to get.
