Building Chassis For Our 1967 Chevy C10 Fk Rod Ends

6. Unfortunately, we didn't have the wheels for our project at this time. We were in a hurry, though, so we guesstimated how wide we could make the rear track width by measuring the inside of our bed and subtracting the width and backspacing of the wheels we ordered. Then, we wimped out and subtracted an additional inch from each side, just to be sure when we got our wheels that they'd actually tuck inside the bed. The guys from O.C. Auto Shop laser-cut a steel jig to hold the Ford Expedition rear hubs in place at our desired ride height. Just outside of the framerail, you'll see the FK Rod Ends spherical bearings we'll be using as the pivot points for the suspension.
