i spent some time today in the garage , finish welding some iner cnotch plates so im done with suspension front and rear , again !!!! scrubbed the chassis and gave it a coat with beedliner spray , very messy stuff , also welded some threaded tabs inside the chassis for easy removal of fuel tank , now i wait for the new air supply components , mean while i will get started on the feading part of this hungry baby , took out all the fuel parts i have gather in the past year to do inventory and order what i'm missing

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
 

Are your headers on upside down. Wondering why? Nice build.:chevy:

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 !!!!!
