The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Measurements

Hi.

I'm currently working on a '50 and the frame has been hacked like you wouldn't believe. Someone tried to do a sub frame and, well, I'll just have to post pictures this weekend. It's bad, real bad. Fortunately it looks like the 50 frame was cut off far enough forward for me to salvage whats left and do a correct sub frame graft. The problem for me is the lack of stock measurements. I seem to remember finding some on here but for the life of me I can't find them again. My goal would be to find a measurement of the front axle/spindle center line to the cab mount or rear (stock location) axle center line.

Thanks for any assistance and I will post some pictures this weekend, you're not going to believe the hack job on my frame.

Wow! That's a mess. Good luck

.....and the pictures make it look better! LOL.

I can't get that link to the GM Heritage Center to load. I also tried going directly to the main page, no luck.

If any computer gurus can help I'm running Windows 7, Firefox, and the most recent Adobe reader.

Thanks!
