67-72 C-10 Z'ing question

Im about to get on building my 72 burban, and i was wondering how much Z is required to lay. Any pics of steering shafts, and the actual Z would be awsome. Also ive heard you can run a little bit shorter body mount bushing, is this true? (they need to be changed anyways

Thanks in advance

2 1/2" will be enough to lay the cross member even with the frame.

Yes you can run a little bit shorter bushings which wont leave much for a body drop! even if u kept them at reg hight.

if you do a crossmember notch and use smaller body bushings you'll lay pinch with no problem, and it's going to be less work. check out this forum.

Body!!!!! no pinch

Anyone with any pics? Im really concerned with the steering shaft. Ive seen more than one on SSM, but cant remember where to find em!

try lookin for pics on ifcustom.com go look at matt's or chris's truck chris is on here lowestsixty7 or something like that youll know when u c it

Cool, thanks man. The Z i got, really just the steering im wondering about, need to know what i need to order.

heres a pic of my 85 they are pretty much the same

speedwaymotors.com sells a steering heim joint that fits over the 3/4" steering shaft.

I have some pics of a Zd frame and sectioned lower frame on my website in the projects page(86 chevy)

Mike you know of a body mount that could be used that is shorter? Maybe a brand or a part #.
