PST project ready for the track
Same exact problem on my Toyoto Truck years ago i had built. It is almost impossible to work on.Actual about 3" on a good day. Had to build wooden ramps just to get it in the shop with the lift.One of the first SG trucks built in the 80's Trailer was another story. Had to send the truck to Wisc just for the headers to be built. They were strictly downs. Took him close to 3 months to build them. First and last on this truck.

Had the same issue with the vette 63 with a long style s/g front end made 3 ft. long ramps from 2x6s ground taper with large body grinder left 1/1/2 ft. flat aluminum angle inverted on front with counter sunk screws saved me many times from pulling front off to jackup


The difference between ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is lack of knowledge. Stupidity is the inability to learn. Don't be stupid

Took the truck out on Sunday for TnT, frustrating day to say the least, had multiple new car bugs but biggest issue is the new converter is just too tight and it was leaving like a total turd. made 4 runs and best was a 5.64 @ 123 but it looked good doing it, had multiple compliments on the truck.
After running 6.10 at 235 the past few years, going this slow is going to take a while to get used to if I ever do

Converters


Trans came out of my TD and has a big shaft so the converter has to have the right turbine. Its a brand new converter, and like most its like throwing darts, sometimes you hit a bullseye and sometimes you dont just part of the deal
What sucks is this is a 6.0 Chassis and trans has to come out the passenger door Mad
