Six_Shooter Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 The build looks good. A couple comments: There's nothing wrong with parralel 4-links. Street rodders have been using them for years and there is NO problem with handling. The only thing is the IC = infinity, so getting traction under hard accel can be an issue, but most bagged trucks, aren't being used for drag racing. ;) Chris Alston Chassisworks sells parallel 4-link kits, as do other companies. When installing a non-paralel 4-link, I would add adjustable attachment points. If the IC is wrong you can actually end up with less potential traction than using parralel, or even leaf springs. If I were to do a stock floor body drop, which is the only bdoy drop I would do, I would likely go to using round turb for the section under the cab. Stacking Tube can provide a very strong frame rail. Also running a hoop towards the trans tunnel, then adding a raised "back-bone" through the trans tunnel to add a little more strength can work well. Not an easy thing to do, but has been done and works fine. The other thing to do is solid mount the cab to the frame, add some bracing to the cab, as this will also act as a stiffening member of the entire chassis, allowing a shorter frame rail, to lay rocker, but not have to worry about chassis flex. Any new updates? Quote Link to comment
nosh1t Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 yeah i guess i could put a update on kool man i accauly can't do most of that where im from like mount the cab to the chassis and cutting the chassis down and thing to do with leafs and 4links very tuff engineer he wouldn't go for any of that trust me i wanted to cut the rails down update side i now have sr20de half cut (200sx s14) so planing on having rack and pinion steering and a new engine sence last time i have re mounted my brake booster cab front end started doing wheel tubs tacked the whole body drop up only tacked because of the old engine has had it and not sure how much room the new one will take up rear bag mounts random rush repair i have more photos i'll put up any thing in closer detail at request catch yahs i gotta run off to work :( could a admin please change the tread title to :ryans 620 (bd 'n' sr20de) Quote Link to comment
lowdatsun620 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hey Nosh, glad to see some more progress finally. Just curious, in the close up of your brake booster, is that taken with the pinch on the ground? And what size wheels and tires are you running? Just trying to get an idea of wheel clearance available, since you brought it up in my project. Thanks bud. Lookin forward to seein some more from ya. Quote Link to comment
nosh1t Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 yeah man just be carefull is all im saying mine has 16s on it with hight profile can fit 17s by 7inch wide which is a very small wheel thats with low profile tires i can't tell you what size in inchs but 604mm over all diameter the brake boaster is most up 70mm back 100mm and to the rigth 20 mms be differnt for you anyway being that yours is on the other side of the truck there is 20mms wheel clearance in the wheel tubs and the pitch is 45mm below the ground that almost 2 inchs just haven't cut it off yet i have a lot of work ahead of me and just lost my full time job so i can be full time working on my truck Quote Link to comment
lowdatsun620 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 thanks man not really concerned with the booster itself, was just referencing the picture. your pinch is below the ground? you dropping to the doors? I'm Canadian, I speak metric too :P 605mm would be just over 2 feet or 24 inches, and a 225/30R20 is about 25.5 inches tall, if you're dropped 45mm (~2inches) and have 20mm (~1inch) to the wheel tubs, I think I can stuff 20's in there after all, just gonna have to bust out the sawzall, welder and 16ga steel and throw my reservations out the window.:lol: thanks for the help dude. sorry to hear bout the job, but at least you got the datto to keep you busy. Git 'er Done! Quote Link to comment
nosh1t Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 hey guys been working on this a lot latly was trying to get it ready to go to a show even had a old school mate help me out i wasn't happy with the old 4 link or the old notch they wouldn't have left me much room to mount any thing under the tub or any room in the tub and i like the look of the super shortys so thats what im making it now this is how it was before as you can see in the rest of the build and the changes i have made as follows shorted 4link by 100mms made new 4 link cross members with tube bender and moved the notch towards the cab 320 mm (about a foot) got the air bags in the front there re 5s front end made some 5mm plates to hold the blots in place while tighting them up so i finally cut the sills off and put some 40mm rhs in there to bend this i used two tables and a big 2 inch by 2inch rhs and a degress bevel clamp down on a bench and pushed the sheet metal till it hit the degress that i wanted Quote Link to comment
nosh1t Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 i like the stace that it has now short and fat and with out the tube looks a little bit hot rodie to me im keepign it this colour because i don't feel i could find a better colour for it as all the trucks over here seen to be blue im not going with blue more work on the 4 link tub mounts and 4 link and bag mounts just need to plate the under side of the frame so thats all for now hope you guys agree with my chanegs progess and so on heres some other stuff i was testing out 180 degress 180 degress bent sheet metal using a 4 inch wide tube clamped to a bench this is how i plane to roll out my tub corners and so on Quote Link to comment
