    Cab and bed conversion

    Ambitious project to say the least, I think it would be amazing though. Mostly because of the story, reasoning behind it..

    Aww, crap so close yet so far. Damn it. My 80 project, isn't 4wd. And I'm still working on a title. Or I would make this deal. Be about a fair trade, they are in comparable condition. My rust isn't that bad though. Oh well, good luck.

    Is it possible? maybe new crossmember swap..

    Georgeb, your probably right. I just figured since I was going to be upgrading one part of the front end steering, I may as well see if it were doable. I know from my current 72, that the original pitman arm, drag link,, design,etc, are not up to the job for my truck as low as it sits. Although...

    Is it possible? maybe new crossmember swap..

    Here is a unit from No Limit Engineering. It's pretty much what I want to do. Except they still use the old style spindle assembly, instead of the modern hub assembly. http://www.nolimitengineering.com/products#!/Wide-Ride-I-F-S/p/26244394/category=6157545 Couldn't get the pic to upload so...

    Is it possible? maybe new crossmember swap..

    Hmmm, OK. Ya got me there, just meant in general. But to be specific. Project #1. 80 Silverado, probably going w an ls1. Project#2. 72 Cheyenne, LS2, LS3. Both will be auto, both are 1/2 ton. One for daily driver, one for Play toy. As far as suspension, just looking for a more modern, ride...

    Is it possible? maybe new crossmember swap..

    Not quite what I meant. Sorry I wasn't clear. I mean like this K-member swap on a 4th gen fbody. The entire front end basically..

    Is it possible? maybe new crossmember swap..

    I've been thinking about my project truck. Haven't had any progress on it in awhile, just trying to get everything sorted out. Plans changing etc,etc. I'M going to do an engine and trans swap also want to upgrade the suspension, but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. Then I realized, I...

    WTH? SeaFoam $12 a Can?!?! NOT !!!

    As for the bearing look-up. Their system may be similar to ours, IF, the people who built the database listed w, multiple crosses then we can look it up by number. SOMETIMES, Most of the time it must be the EXACT part number. Or by application.

    WTH? SeaFoam $12 a Can?!?! NOT !!!

    Yeah, yeah. Working @ an auto parts store I hear this ALL DAY long. It's the cost of business guys, it's only going to get worse. Amazon, doesn't have the overhead everyone else does. Walmart, well, when u buy **** by the TRAIN LOAD, it's cheap. As much as I hate to say it, pay the lower...

    Glad you're going to fix it , rather than scrap it. I got a lil worried when I saw the rusted floors.

    Dang, you guys. I'm missing my 78 Ralley Sport now. I shouldn't have ever sold that car.

    Not exactly, in 78 the Rally Sport became it's own model , just as an Lt, or Z28. If you search and look, you will see, the Rally Sport of the 70s, is an RS, It is spelled out. They were basically Z28s in disguise. Since previously RS was just an option package. So in a sense, the were...

    I would check the vin to verify the status. BEFORE I start putting Z parts, on a true RS. DON'T get me wrong it's a nice looking car and all, but 3 build sheets?, incorrect parts, wrong paint scheme, and no power windows or locks?! I hope it's a true RS, IF not I hope u didn't pay the RS...
