So I'm building my binder on a 68 gmc c10 chassis. ( http://www.ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15930 )
I would like to keep the floor inside tha cab as low as i can without cutting much of a trans hump in the middle. I wanna put a jumper seat in the center for the kid and having a 7" chop and 3" section is cutting headroom low as it is.
My question is, i think a 2 piece drive shaft will help me do this. The factory setup came with a 2 piece design with a carrier bearing. If i mount the engine on the frame with -3 degrees of angle back, the carrier bearing is set at 0 degrees on the frame.
My question is at what angle should i set the rear end be in comparison to the carrier bearing angle?
The truck is going to be on bags with the frame laying on the ground when parked. So i will set the rear end pinion angle at ride height. My guess is i will want 3 degrees upward angle on the rear end right?
Thanks for your help folks.
