Rattletrap66’s Build and BS (Chevy 63s)

What lee said! 2 good ones will go up for sale

 

Was taking more off on the cab mount and used up my last cut off wheel so made a quick run to HD

 

Geez, are you gonna have this thing ready for tomorrow?

 

thought maybe Timbo was putting them on the trailer

 

Yes! One cab mount down, the next to go then that's it! Lmao if you came over I'd be done by now. Was gonna put your ass to work!

 

Haha, sorry, brah. If you'd put my ass to work, I'd have stroked out and missed Hardrock. Still recovering from being sick so my stamina, crappy as it normally is, still isn't back to normal. Next time, I'll try to be there for ya...like if you want to try to clean up the cut edges of your fenders. I have a 90* grinder with a rotary file and a sanding disc that would probably smooth them out. You'd have to come over here to do it though since my compressor won't keep up with the 90* so your little one won't have a prayer.

 

I'm getting 265/70/17 duratracs I want I say off a guy on fb that posted on the page

 

Right on... Any updates on truck?

 

Not until Monday. I'm in a 2017 corolla until then lol

 

I don't even have one lol, that was Hugo's that I borrowed for the nail gun

 

Finished with a little bit of daylight left. Just got done putting all the tools and whatnot up. Rub at full passenger still which is because of the alignment being messed up from when we did the ball joints, so Hardrock is a no go unless I drive up there super early and get an alignment done at a tire kingdom near there.


The rubbing spot

Cleaned up cmc and pinch weld

 

Looks great Frank!

 

Thanks Travis!

 

I agree. It looks way better than those stock wheels. Not especially convinced that an alignment is gonna cure that rubbing though. I don't see an alignment moving it that much and if it's rubbing now at ride height, it's gonna be worse when compressed. You may have to get wheels with more backspacing. IIRC, those wheels have 3.75" BS. You may need to get a set with 4" or 4.25" BS if you can fit them without hitting your UCAs. That will move the tire away from the firewall when turned.

Could be wrong though. It's been known to happen.

It blows that you're not gonna make Hardrock. Yer supposed to get the alignment taken care of before you fit the new tars. Ya know, you could always go back out there and slap the old tars on for one more run...

 

He has Light Racing uca's & may be able to adjust them to get a little more caster in it.

 

Could you take a grinder to that weld to try and get it down a bit more? I rub on my CMC full driver but seeing how much you cut out I'm thinking dang I can cut out more and be safe.

 

I still don't see it giving him a lot more clearance, especially when stuffed. Like I said though, I could be wrong. I'm dubious as to whether the average TK wrench jockey would know how to deal with those adjustable UCAs anyway.

 

Truck is sitting sweet man

 

You're probably right about the about the wrench jockey & I didn't think about him only having a 3" lift.

 

@Rattletrap66 what kind of set up you running up front 886's?
