    1978 c30 SM465 Crossmember Help

    That was my thought on it. Thanks, that's what I figured is it should bolt to the top and bottom of the frame. I'm thinking I'll take some square tubing and put on the bottom side so its good and solid.

    1978 c30 SM465 Crossmember Help

    Here's some pictures of my crossmember. With it bolted to the bottom of the frame like it was when I got the truck, the motor is definitely leaning back and the z bar is at a steep angle. When its jacked up so the the top of the crossmember can bolt to the top of the frame the motor is more...

    1978 c30 SM465 Crossmember Help

    One would think that chevy would have made one crossmember to fit all the squarebody frames but I guess not. From what I've been able to find it seems like they made several variants of crossmembers for the squares.

    1978 c30 SM465 Crossmember Help

    I know on my k10 it has the same crossmember as that. And my 1 ton frame is definitely taller and from what I've researched the crossmember sets inside the frame rails and bolts to the top and bottom but I havent been able to find a picture of one in the truck to know for sure. I think I can...

    1978 c30 SM465 Crossmember Help

    So the saga of mismatched parts on my c30 continues. I'm sure you all are getting tired of my posts by now since it seems like every couple of weeks I'm posting on here asking questions, but I definitely appreciate the wealth on knowledge on this site. I was curious if anyone has pictures of the...

    C30 Rear Shock Mounts

    Thanks, its chevy orange/red. I actually painted the motor and trans the same color and had this crazy idea to make the whole drivetrain that color since the rest of the truck is going to be black I figured itd add a nice splash of color to it. But I'm interested to see it all when I get it...

    C30 Rear Shock Mounts

    Finally got around to getting the new shocks put on. There's not a lot of options for lifted front shocks so I went with rough country because I've used their shocks and lifts several times now. I ended up ordering the 1"-3" lifted front shocks for a k20 (k30 wasnt an option) and they're almost...

    C30 Rear Shock Mounts

    Well guys as promised a post up with the solution that I went with. I decided just for simplicity to just drill a hole and add a stud even though I really thought about fabricating a whole new bracket. Anyways I cut off the stud about 1/16" away from the bracket so I could still see where it was...

    Anyone used Western Chassis lowering kits?

    I've never lowered anything before I come from the world of lifted trucks so I'm clueless when it comes to lowered stuff. But what else you going to do with a 2wd lol. I knew I had to replace the front springs anyways because they were broke and drop spindles are more pricey. The upper control...

    Anyone used Western Chassis lowering kits?

    Well I finally decided that I was going to use the hangers anyways and just drill out the holes. Finally heard from switch suspension today and they were convinced it was the right hangers after I sent them some pictures. They offered to contact western chassis for me but I was already in the...

    Anyone used Western Chassis lowering kits?

    Yes I filled out that form and submitted it a few days ago and still no response. I really just wanted to make sure I have the right stuff before I drill the holes to make it work.

    Anyone used Western Chassis lowering kits?

    I can get one side to line up but the other side is quite a bit off. I've been trying to think of a way to possibly spread it apart but it's pretty thick so I'm not sure how to go about that. I'm not sure if it's made for the c30, the hanger itself has no markings on it. I did double check to...

    Anyone used Western Chassis lowering kits?

    So i was looking for a lowering kit for my 1976 c30, nothing too crazy and I found the western chassis kit 3/4 drop and comes with new leaf hangers and shackles and coil springs in the front. I ordered the kit from switch suspension because they offered the western chassis kit for $384 and free...
