1975 Chevy Stepside Truck - The Real McGaughY's

McGaughy's craftsman Tim uses the Shear. The Shear can cut up to a 12-foot-long sheet of metal or aluminum, up to 1/2-inch thick.

As the name implies, the Press Break machine is used to form bends in metal. It can put up to 35 tons (70,000 pounds) of force on metal. Wisely, Tim keeps his hands away of the metal bracket!

The passenger-side rotor and wheel bearings were installed next.

In anticipation of mounting the front wheel/ tire, he installed the caliper.

To ensure a smooth ride, Steve installed the supplied McGaughy's front shock absorber.

To finalize work on the passenger side, Steve installed the 15x8-inch Steelie from Stockton Wheel, which wears Goodyear Eagle GT radial rubber, P255/60R15-inch, and has a 4.25-inch backspace. He repeated the installation of the 2.5-inch drop spindle, 2-inch coil, and McGaughy's shock absorber on the driver side (not shown). Steve performed the same operation on the IFS driver side next. He installed the last Steelie and removed the truck from the lift.

Thanks to McGaughy's, Stockton Wheel, Just Suspension, and Year One, CCT's AP now has a street-credible '75 Chevy pickup.
