I think it has something to do with the new bushings. This exact same thing happened to me last year on an 85 C10 [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Man I feel ya! I'm having the same issue with my car. With two different set up and all suspension nuts and bolts loose. First setup was new bushings, new ball joints, new tie rods, new pittman arm and idler arm, stock LCA and UCA, UMI 2" drop springs, blazer spindle and LS3.. Second setup...

I totally suck at this forum stuff. LOL. Sorry for not keeping things up to date. Time to get things cleaned up. I started with the under body. Luckily I had zero rust issues in the floor. It took me a whole weekend of sand and using a heavy wire wheel to clean up 30 years of grease and road...

I then moved on to the replacement of the T-Top header panel. This was the only rust on the body. T-tops are notorious for rotting out. The process was to drill out every factory spot weld and size up your cut on the A pillar from the new header panel. The replacement panel I purchased from...

I believe my next step was the disc brake swap. I chose the 2000 Blazer set up. I used a local contact to purchase the backing plates, he was pulling it so why not. LOL. The rear disc brake calipers and the front calipers are the Blazer set up/. I'll eventually go Bigger when I go big wheels...

Thank you! I'm looking forward to this! I hope to have more of my build up soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you! One day I'll make it up to Iowa! Lol. My son is such a cool kid. Always wanting to help out where he can. I'll teach him all he wants to learn. I have ever 6 kids and most all of them show some interest in working in the shop with me. Yep that's an 84 C10 short wide. It's my cousin's...

After finishing the front suspension I moveed on to separate the body from the frame. Some advise to the one's that are going to do this separation, bolt on or weld square tubing to the rear bumper mounts. This will keep the integrity of the frame the same when you go to remount the body. The...

This is where I started. Suspension wasn't bad, believe it or not, but it was 30 yrs old with 64,000 OG miles. I purchased new tierods, ball joints, bushings and spindles. Rock Auto was my source to this except the spindles. Spindles are Belltech and was purchased through eBay. The control arms...

RRR Racing, built the 4L80e transmission. I bought the 3600 stall from PTC converters. The driveshaft I will have built by Drive Shaft Inc in Tulsa. I haven't measured yet but I'm only assuming it's not going to fit, and those factory gbody shaft don't have a good history of holding up to power...

A quick introduction to myself... My build starts back in 1996 in Coweta, Ok. I first purchased the Monte Carlo SS at the age of 16 after I flipped my 1985 Cutlass I bought in 1994. I’d say G Body 4 Life. I was attending Vo-Tech my JR and SR year in auto body. During that time I built a 400hp...
