love the truck and the driveway

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

I agree. It seems Floridians love their driveways.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

thank's

lol !!! the driveway was the first upgrade i did to the house when i bought it

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Looking killer. What made you decide on spray on bedliner for the chassis instead if paint or powder?

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

thanks bud !! i like the fact that it has a semigloss finish with a sand like texture , i can touch up everytime i weld or change something and it covers small gaps and imperfections , it goes well with my plans for the truck , no thing shiny in this build , black factory aluminum look , hard to explain locker makes now a lot of black acessories , i got my dipsticks yesterday , i finished the rear brakes today , hate making lines

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

made some tabs , drilled two holes through the 4 link brakets and ran the hard lines through it , im happy with the turnout ill take more pix

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Looks killer man. I bet your glad you got the suspension headaches behind you

Re: 1971 c10 stepside

Re: 1971 c10 stepside

raull,

Speaking of exhaust manifolds, what kind are you using here? What are you going to build the rest of your hot side out of?

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

WOW!!!!

Great progress!!

Once you get on a roll I know this truck will be done in no time. SO far it is looking terrific.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

He's building the engine for twin turbos. That's pretty common in this type of application when the turbos are mounted in the engine compartment.

Nice progress Raull!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Hey Raul in that last picture you only have a 2 bolt flange on the exhaust. You might want to consider changing that to a 4 bolt flange to support the extra weight of the turbo. You could also incorporate the correct flange to just bolt your turbo direct and eliminate a leak point. Just a suggestion. Nice progress. Those manifolds stay nice and tucked in close to the block. Sanitary OE look. Your killing it.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Ok bud. I know you're on the garage turning wrenches. How 'bout an update. LO

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

thanks , thats the right answer !!!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

not quite sure yet !!!!! stay tuned

thanks bud !!!

dont worry, you will be very involved :lol:

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

ok you are twisting my arm, :lol:

started to make the fuel lines and routing them amongst other little things here and there , i tried a few more manifolds but i ended up flipping the vette ones again and i did a little mocking and i'm pretty set on where i want the turbos

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

I knew you were holding back. Nice progress looking good my friend. Keep posting.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Which company does that braided line come from? Progress is sweet by the way!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

thanks !!!

thanks bud !!!

RUSSELL PERFORMANCE PROCLASSIC BLACK HOSES !!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Great progress Raul!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Thanks for the info on the fuel lines, I was going to ask the same question :lol:

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Turbo looks great right there!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Hey everyone I am typing this with a real heavy heart... Raul's dad was killed last night on his way home from work. He is not going to be on for a while as he is very distraught by this tragedy ...Raul is like a brother to me and I am hurting really bad also as his dad is a great friend to me also. Raul asked me to remind you to truly love your family and friends let them know how much you love them As you never know when It will be the last time you get to see them or talk to them. He spoke with his dad just a few hours before this tragedy we are not sure how it happened but we are thinking he may have fallen asleep or possibly a stroke and he veered off the road and his truck rolled over. Please pray for my brother and his family!!!!!!'

Sincerely

Albert
