Road Tour 2001 Buildup Part 1

Fatman's has found that the original axle centerline is too far forward on many early Chevrolets. They have discovered this 7/16-inch hole (arrow), found on all '36 to '48 chassis, will give the correct axle centerline. Also note the construction of the framerails. Called a top hat design, an inverted U-section is spot-welded to a 16-gauge bottom plate. These frames should be checked carefully for rust and any modifications must be made properly to prevent cracking. They should never be clipped with a late subframe, such as a Nova. Not only because they're too wide, but it is virtually impossible to weld them to these rails without cracking taking place. View Related Article
