Is there a reason that firewall/toe boards (best description I could find) angle back toward the cab vs just being squared? I can’t see how it really effects pedal function or anything… maybe it does. Just ergonomics, idk. I’d love to hear opinions/answers. Thanks

Hey guys, Trying to get this radiator mounted securely without a ton of brackets so I can still fit the headlights in. Driving myself crazy and doubting everything I come up with. Could you please give and thoughts and advise on this idea… thanks!

So I’m trying to finish up the rolling chassis on my 33 Chevy. I have the rear 4 link and bags set up and want to stay similar in the front. I was thinking of using these type (attached pic) of brackets in 3/8 thickness with Clevis ends in the front of the rods on the axle and heims in the rear...

How are you guys doing it? When bolting a Heim joint or other rod ends to the frame are you welding a nut to/in the frame to screw in to? I don’t have a whole lot of room between the frame and outer edge of front axle so can’t really do a bracket. Going to be a 4 bar set up. Pics please if you...

Haven’t seen many of em up front. Any issues with it? Planning on a tube axle with air bags and disc brakes. Heard buzz about not using wishbone style rods with tube axles. Was thinking some bat wings, 4bars and a panhard would be good? Any input, advise appreciated.

Despite staring at it for countless hours and my best planning, my parallel 4-link bars ended up right about 5* downward angle to the front (1.5" overall). I don't have any adjustment other than moving the front brackets. I've seen other builds with way more angle than this, but was under the...

Hey guys, looking for opinions/advise on rear axle shock angle/direction. I've seen them angled forward, backwards, side to side and straight up and down. So how much of a difference does it make, is there a 'wrong way', and are there different situations that call for different shock mounting...

I am in the process of setting up my rear suspension. It is a 33 Chevy frame that will be completely boxed in. I have sectioned about 3.5 feet out of the frame and Z'd it. My plan is to bag it and have it lay frame when aired out. I want to do a parallel 4 link setup to save space under the bed...

Hey guys. I have a WC T5 bolted to a 350 motor. Going to make up some motor mounts, but want to make sure I'm clearancing for clutch arm on trans correctly. Frame is Z'd and cab is channeled. I want oil pan at or slightly above bottom of frame rail so I'm gonna have about a 10" trans tunnel. My...

I've got a V8 WC T5 going behind a crate 350. Need a bell housing that eliminates the tilt the trans had in the corvette. Read something before about old truck ones working. Anyone know for sure what will work? Going with mechanical clutch. Thanks

Hope this is the right place for this... I'm building a '33 Chevy Rat Rod truck. I have shortened and Z'd the frame. I think I'm ready to install the motor and trans. It is a SBC 350 with a WC T5. Here are my questions: Should I (or does it matter if I) set up the suspension first? From...

Trying to fill some holes in my visor. Sheet metal is super thin and can't get to back to apply backing plate. Want to try brazing, but don't know what type of rod or solder to use. Would prefer something that will patina to match the truck. I have oxy/acet setup to use. Any advise is greatly...

Working on my first complete ground up build. It's a '33 Chevy 1 1/2T long bed that is being shortened up, slammed a bit n chopped to a more manageable size. I think I have the major direction in mind, but looking for more tips and inspiration.
