SQUAREBODY C10 EPISODE 3 IRS Frame build and Install COMPLETE!

[@dekebell3307]

I've lost so much sleep because of your videos!! I'm counting 1LE suspensions in C-10's instead of sheep! Very, very cool build sir!

[@bennyohanian3046]

Man thank you so much, I am putting a ZL1 it's in my 71 Camaro and this helps so much 🙏🙏 thank you

Wish I saw this back when you were taking on a major endeavor, best left for steel fabricators. They sell these on ebay 200.00 on up just look up C notch, because they are extremely difficult to cut just right, as you know better than I or probably 99% of your viewers. Anyways you have a damn nice truck and I'm a new subscriber because I share your passion for street trucks and corny humor!

[@ChewyKsGarage]

Thanks for the comment! I looked into the formed rails and they didnt fit over the IRS subframe the way I liked. Ive done a lot of fabrication over the years, when I do the next one, Ill build it on a table first, then cut the back off the truck. I did it the hard way for sure!

[@extreme-ev4703]

Nice build, and in a small space. Do you have a follow up with suspension tuning, thoughts, advantages and what you might do differently if you did a new start from scratch build?

[@ChewyKsGarage]

Thanks! IT is small for sure! Thats a great subject for an update video! I will get to work on that!

[@luzsolis3096]

Nice job 👍 What’s the spring rate you are using?

[@ChewyKsGarage]

550lb from Aldan American

Great work man you did a great job! I would have had to have help to get the angels right...

[@ChewyKsGarage]

Thanks Ben!

[@eduranbeast]

nice build bro . how did you figure out what angles you needed from the frame and the extension you made

[@ChewyKsGarage]

Lots of maths lol! Worked it on paper until I had a simple design I liked.

[@clist9406]

Your running IRS rear , you don’t need high frame rails. You just need mounting points

[@ChewyKsGarage]

Thanks. Sounds like you've built a truck like this with an irs?

[@xips420]

Where you find the bolt jacks?

[@ChewyKsGarage]

I know its been awhile. They are allstar brand. I got them at PITSTOPUSA

Looks good wish I could be there

Wish you were!

[@aldencotton183]

Did you figure out how to bypass the traction control stuff on the rear end?

[@ChewyKsGarage]

Better late than never I guess, but yes I did. I have a video out in the next few days to go over what I did.

[@nickpfarner5288]

Love it

[@iraqirestoration2991]

Hey buddy it’s a great job thanks for sharing I have a questions ! Which tire size is these ? What is the height different did you get when not cutting the frame is it that high?

[@ChewyKsGarage]

Thank you! Tire size is 315/30r18. A mainstay in autocross/track day tire size for big cars. To get the truck as low as I wanted I chose to fabricate new rear rails. Still a lot of fab work to install in the factory frame.

[@iraqirestoration2991]

@@ChewyKsGarage thanks for the information

[@ze_german2921]

How does she rip? Can you tell a big difference?

[@ChewyKsGarage]

HUGE DIFFERENCE! Sticks like glue in the rear, until I dont want it to.

[@ze_german2921]

@@ChewyKsGarage thanks for the reply man, I always wanted to build my own version of a Road race flavored truck and even looked into buying a chassis but prefer the Homebrew better for many obvious reasons. It is because of great content like yours you might get other people inspired to do the same. Hope you have some more in the pipeline. You should check out the Squarebody Tesla build, it is gonna be sick.

[@SemperMortem]

im thinking of fabricating a infiniti g35 IRS into my 67 C10, they're so damn cheap and I can even get the entire thing from the junkyard.
