Ive never liked Coys or steppers but I gotta say that this is beautiful and I am loving every minute of it! And I wouldn't change a thing about it! Anxiously awaiting the turbo setup!!! And you just can't beat white in my humble opinion

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Glad to see your back at it, can't wait for some progress

Are you setting your turbos right on the side or more towards the front of the engine?

i dont know yet !! i was at my friends shop the other day and he had some ls3 vette exhaust manifolds that look pretty god so i may do that and keep the all around modern factory look , thats why i wanted to use the pulley set up i used its all original looking therefore they will sit somewhere by the midfront of the side of the engine , i could spend the money and buy the nice ones but they will sit to far forward and it will look to custom for the look im looking for , we'll see


thanks guys !!!

you've been busy building !! SEMA !! trucks !!! lol

i dont know if i will call it fun anymore , i've been bulding for years , i'm taking a break after this one ,

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

You can tell these guys that "you are tired" but I only have known you for about 25 years so I know better :devil:

I have a feeling that this truck is going to be probably the best vehicle you have ever built just in case this is the last one you are going out with a "Bang" :metal:

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Love the project Raull, glad to see you're back at it. When are you planning to get the body painted?

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

maybe a few years off ;)

thanks , just waiting on the body shop !!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

today i picked up a few goodies and fluids from the chevy dealer to keep me busy for the rest of the week , i took the engine out hopefuly for the last time ,i made the trims and adjustments on the chassis, started the brakes tabs and lines once again as its a new front end and hopefuly i will have the engine and tranny all in for good in the next few days, then im jumping to finish the rear suspension before i get a few boxes that im waiting on from justin :devil:

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Coming right along! Looks killer

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

I guess I missed the whole turbo going in the truck. Now you really got my attention. It will be so cool with a snail in the engine bay

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

thanks !!!

you sure did and its tt snails with an ( s ) get it right buddy :lol::lol: thanks for the attention part coming from mr tootsies , that truck cant be described how sick it is !!!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

on another note i was going to have some nice updates today but all i got its the brakelines are done and the engine its back on , i went to install the tranny and the nice converter that i had build for my spect did not line up with the nice new flywheel i just got , i match the old flywheel with the new so its the converter for sure what a bummer , moving on

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Nice work knocking out the brake lines. Looking clean and sanitary. Keep up the good work.

Don't mean to bring up bad things, but I wanted to see if you ever got the rear suspension configured correctly.

The rest of the build looks awesome buddy; glad to see you back on it.
