Suggestion, On the fitment of the C notch, when fitting it up, if you were to go corner to corner you would end up with a 100 percent fillet weld, in other words if the frame tube material is 1/8" thick and 2" wide the C coupon wold be 1-3/4" wide, so that when fit in, both sides would mate corner to corner, giving you the 100 percent fillet, and when finishing out with soft wheel, radius's out really nice.
Great video. No nonsense and easy to see and hear. This is a perfect example of what more car vids should be. I have to agree with you as this kit looks more complicated than need be. What kit would you advise for a C4 suspension swap into a Chevy AD? Thanks so much!
I really don't care for the C-4 swap..... a TCI IFS frontend is very straight forward and much better, definitely NOT a mustang II, Sorry I missed this comment somehow last year
@@guzzifabrication3448 No worries. The TCI is too expensive for me. The more I think about that upcoming project the more I think xjs or swap in somebody else's dropped axle with a rack and pinion. I never see the TCI for sale used so it must be a kepper though. Thanks.
I'm planning on doing a C4 Vette front suspension on my '37 Ford, so the frame will be a little different, but shouldn't be that much different I wouldn't think. Do you think it's going to be possible to remove that rack with the engine in place? Being a mechanic, I always try and make things serviceable, unlike the engineers that design cars.
I have this exact kit on my 53 F100. Have you figured out how you're going to mount the front sway bar? I'm in DFW, if you find a solution, I'd be very interested in buying that solution from you.
Definitely the original. If it's too rusted then a swap is a great idea but the S10 is only popular because a few companies push their kits. The S10 is a 1/4 ton truck with a bad fitment to the AD body and most of the suspension gets swapped out right after you swap it in tl make it work including swapping the rear end. Go with something better like a Durango or Colorado or envoy or C4 or c1500 or caprice or tahoe....etc., etc.
You should be a auto restoration teacher, I really like the in depth explanations you give in your videos.
I would love that job .... Thanks for watching !

Cc.bonjour très beau travaille...felicitation...
bonjour, et merci

Yes it is ! Thanks for following the channel.
What is your favorite kit for the 47-54 Chevrolet truck?
I have installed several TCI ( total cost involved ) kits, if I were to purchase a kit, probably that one. Happy New Year !

That's going to be a good question.... I'll be starting the drivetrain phase soon.
When I saw the gymnastics needed to get the rack and pinion in there, my first thought was “I hope that never needs replacing!”
Love the tig welding! I'm just learning, what is your machine set at?
Thank you !!!

I am getting ready to figure that out, stay tuned. Thanks for watching !
Hey I was wondering where did you get your coilover lower mounting bracket ?
It came with the kit.
What other brand of kit would you recommend to retro fit a C4 suspension on a 1947-1954 Chevy trucks?
TCI makes a well thought out, straight forward kit. Thanks for watching !
@@guzzifabrication3448 Perfect, I'll look into it. Looking forward to your videos of the rear C4 suspension installation.
To see your work I dare to ask you… what is better keeping a chassis of a Chevy truck 52 or a chevy s10 swap?
Depends on you .... Thanks for watching
Use the 52 his kit for them work on the frames there made for

How did you mount the sway bar?
Fabricated business mounts, the sway bar end links are available at flat out engineering.
So did wheel end up center on wheel well, or how much was it off center?. I accidentally commented on other video. Thanks in advance
The wheel will set in the correct position thanks for watching
Where is your shop located?
I am in Rowlett Tx
Stop welding highway registered vehicle frames. You obviously are not a state certified welder and going to get yourself sued.
@tatertots-n-soup Sorry but I don't talk to stupid people....
