C10-GT Sport Chassis
Art Morrison Enterprises has added the 1967-’72 Chevy C10 pickup to its ever-growing roster of vehicles that can accept its bolt-in GT Sport chassis. AME’s engineering team employed 3-D digital scanning technology to ensure a perfect fit and other computer applications to develop an integrated chassis package that improves handling, ride and stance.
Made with rigid 2×6-inch frame rails, the chassis features 3-inch passageways to route the exhaust. It’s designed to provide 5-6 inches of ground clearance with nothing protruding below.
AME’s GT Sport chassis for the C10 comes with a 9-inch rearend with a triangulated four-bar suspension and coilover shocks. It can be ordered with a Multi-Link I.R.S. or an air spring suspension. Up front are Wilwood-forged aluminum spindles, TIG-welded tubular steel control arms and an adjustable sway bar. Coilover shocks or an air suspension are available options. A new steering rack with a billet aluminum steering arm provides near-zero bump steer and no slop.
