New guy in Canada
Been lurking for a while and thought I'd join up. I've owned a 85 Z51 which was great and also a 84 Z51 that I parted out for a project.
Currently working on building a custom chassis using early C4 F&R suspension for my 57 Chevy pickup. Fun project building all my own mounting brackets etc and figuring out the geometry.
This is how the truck sits currently, 100% stock

Welcome to the forum, Bob!
Your C4 underpinnings for your '57 truck sounds interesting. Best wishes with your efforts!

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I'm excited to get this done, I've heard from others who have done this swap that it's a lot of fun drive. Just about done with mounting the rear and will be moving to the front soon....
