57 Chevy Task force Truck
Re: 57 Chevy Task force Truck
That mustang rearend is pretty sweet , my mate uses it in his 500hp chevy 377 in a tubular race car .... Hugh has a C4 front that will go straight in maybe give him a buzz ...actually rather use the other and keep your bolt pattern all Ford ... Poor chevy is gonna feel like it's wearing stockings and high heels

Re: 57 Chevy Task force Truck
Hugh how far are you realistically from a complete front end? I know your truck will come first but thereafter how easy to duplicate? Morally I'd love to support local, but also costs need to be relative & timing is critical or car gets bumped from the queue at the Speed shop....

Re: 57 Chevy Task force Truck
Hi Leonard
I should have my front suspension done and installed within the next 2months and the rear a month after that
Why its taken longer then expected is cause i am makin jigs to do the reproductions of the parts quicker then the first set
Also what has taken time was getting someone to bend for me
Known that i have my own hydraulic bender its a quicker turn around time
Also finally have space since the new house has a 250sqm workshop space
Also the plan is to source as much of the parts locally to keep costs down

Re: 57 Chevy Task force Truck
What that plan is to have 3 sets built side by side so that i always have a set or 2 available
