59 Apache/c6 Corvette build thread

[glitchz24]

Love the build thread! My favorite style of truck too! I’d throw out my daily if I had a reliable LS powered Apache to cruise in!
tdishon, I have a question for you. I’m doing a similar C5/C6 suspension and drivetrain build into a 73 Challenger with a Viper V10 engine. I’ve got my full drivetrain ready to go, and the shell. Now I’m laying out the framerails. I’m using the stock Corvette subframes although I may narrow them slightly. Can you give me an idea of how they bolt to the frame? Are there bushings required? It sure seems to me the holes in the subframe are much larger diameter than the bolts which would allow for a lot of slop if there aren’t any bushings or something similar.
Thanks,
Rex
