    My 34

    Hi, I'm Chris Blohme a pinstriper and kustom kulture artist out of Orange CA. For the last couple of years I've been working on a 34 chevy pick up. I thought I had posted her up here before, but it's been a while and I'm not looking through a ton of old posts to find it. Well here you go. She's...

    Main bearing

    Ok I just pulled 7 of the 10 ply leaf springs off of my rear axle. It's a stock frame and suspension on a 34 chevy flat bed. The bracket of the main bearing is now tilted up insetead of straight like it was. My truck has dropped about 5 inches. How much play room do these things normally have?

    Headlight mounting

    I have a 1934 chevy, stock the headlights have a bar that connects between the grill and front fenders. It's a rat, so fenders are not on, the headlights have no outter support and wobble. So my thought was to give it a cross bar in front of the grill, but that seems like a ford thing. I could...

    Chevy front leaf springs.

    Ok I have a 34 1/2 ton truck. The front end suspension is still stock with 5 ply leafs up front. I'm looking at putting drop bars up front, found lots of them for fords not for chevy's. So what I'm looking at is putting shocks up front so I can use the ford arms. Any suggestions?

    Coolant overflow.

    Ok I have a 34 chevy truck, and it's a rat. No hood, fenders. There's a black and green thing going on this one's color scheme. I need to do something cool for the coolant overflow tank (cause I don't have one now) and I'm just drawing a blank. It's got to be heat resistant, not glass. I mean...

    Brake arm help needed.

    I have a 34 chevy with power brakes from a 78 chevy half ton. The master cylinder is in a spot where I can't move it. The arm is over on the left of the collum so I have to brake with my left. I'm thinking of making an "S" shaped arm to get the pedal in the right position. Any pro's or con's to...

    Rat's in the driveway

    A buddy of mine recommended I check out this site. I'm Chris Blohme, pinstriper and kustom artist in Orange County CA. I got a 34 chevy pickup, it's my first rat, there are no parts anywhere (since it's not a Ford). So I'm inventing things. Any guidance you guys have, I'd appriciate it.

    power steering

    So I have a 34 Chevy pickup. It has the stock front end and steering arm. I want to keep all of this looking stock, but how do I get power steering in there. It looks like I can just build a bracket and take the post from the old gear box. I was just hoping someone here has done this before.
