Then slide on one frame rail at a time and bolt them together. Bolting it in was a snap. Condition is a major factor in putting a value on an older vehicle. The Advanced Designed Trucks bed wood came from the factory treated with a combination of linseed oil and lampblack, giving it a dull black color. Quicker, cleaner, and with less heat than a cutting torch.

Most marine type varnishes will meet this criteria, most highly recommended are those developed specifically for salt water application by the marine industry. The shallower the inside groove is, the higher the wear strips will ride above the bed wood. Before we set the cab and the front end back on the truck, we installed a new set of Energy suspension frame mount bushings. Since the No Limit C-10 back half kit changes the geometry of the frame rails up by 4-inches, the stock bed floor will need to be raised up or a section will need to be cut out so that the bed will fit back into place.
The width of the boards varied depending on position. This is accomplished by first backing off the shoes so that the drum can be easily slid off. Then the spider gear pin is slid back into place and its retaining bolt reinstalled. This explains the somewhat unusual groove pattern of the wood see below for dimensions. After, check for the wiring connections. All the other boards had grooves running down both sides. Made from ¼-inch steel plate, they are preformed and ready to install.
The kit includes the sections for each side, fasteners, and bumpstops to help that lowered truck gain some much needed frame clearance. If you're working dry wood in a heated shop shrunk condition more expansion room should be allowed than if you're working air dried wood in the humid part of summer with no heat in the shop expanded condition. Bobco opted for big 12-inch rotors, single piston calipers, brake pads, spacers, hoses, and hardware. You too can get your hands on the same kit shipped right to your front door with a click of a mouse. These plates are only used on frames with an additional layer of metal—to fill the gap.
Manufactured from ¼-inch-thick steel, this custom crossmember moves the trailing arm mounting point up nearly 5 inches in order to maintain the proper pinion angle on lowered trucks.

With the rails off the truck slide each cross member in place on bolt them up. The oval shaped holes in the chassis are gauge holes. The good news is reproduction sheet metal is available from Classic Industries for these models, as well as a bolt on, back half frame kit from No Limit Engineering. To decrease your chances of cupping you should select all wood from heartwood. Originally, the top protrusions of the wear strips were just slightly higher than the bed wood.
The sway bars mounting bushings will attach to via the two bolts shown. Classic Industries makes things easy to ship, and or repair stock bed floors by manufacturing the steel bed floor in two pieces. Next we unbolted the two bolts that hold the trailing arms in place to the trailing arm cross-member and rolled out the whole thing in one piece. Doing this ensures that center of board will rise rather than dip thus standing water will not occur and will instead run off helping to prevent retention of excess moisture. Many of the links on it are my Sponsors, and they help keep my pages here for you! You will note from the drawing below that the outer edges of the wear strip came down lower than the middle of the wear strip. A few good raps with a heavy hammer and a punch will give you the access you need.
We found that the simple way to install the rails was to locate the factory holes on the top and bottom of the stock frame just past the cab mount. Cuts should also take into account that different woods and there coatings will allow wood to swell and shrink at different rates. It also does double duty, helping to stiffen the frame from the coil spring load. While Bobco was overhauling the rear suspension, he thought he ought to address the six-lug bolt pattern on the rear so as to match the new 5×5 lug pattern at the front of his C10. If making your own bed wood and using new bed strips you should measure your new wear strips for precision cutting measurements.
Stay tuned as we show you how to do that and set up the suspension in an up and coming issue. There should be a releasable wiring harness up towards the cab, unplug the wiring. Now you can compare an example of the piece that Rob cut using the laser table, to another rail that was cut and bend into a frame rail using the press brake. A slot in the drum may need to be punched out in order to access the drum brake adjuster. At the center of the bed both panels overlap forming a seam.
