The Stovebolt Site Forums Project Journals Archived Journals 1940 Chev 1/2 ton “Franken/Restomod”

Hello;

I hope this finds you well...

I am getting close, so very close. Close to completing the fabrication portion anyways.
One of the few items left on the list was a sway bar. Check, install complete!

I had some difficultly selecting a sway bar as the websites are set up by the application. So you need to enter the vehicle in and then get results based on that. Well, oddly enough a 1940 Chev truck restomod doesn’t come up. Anyways, I got a bar that fits well and then ran into a similar issue with the bushing and mounting kit. Through some help from the local parts supplier we got the right end link Set and mounts.
The steering rack fluid line was too close for comfort so I made a couple spacers to get clearance. The bottom spacer is threaded for the bar clamps and will be welded to the frame. The other spacer is just that, a spacer.

Another item checked off the list, just a few more to go....
