That depends on the width of the rim and the backspacing and overall tire size...

...but you still should be fine unless you have a super wide rim with a wrong offset on it....

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

Very nice build man your truck is gonna look sweet when she is finally on the road..

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

Nice looking truck. You have some questions about drop. Do a search for Blank Slate. Nates 69 looks real fine. He has a lot of good information on his build thread!

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

Great looking truck, as far as the 22's fitting with the 3/5 drop, it'll be entirely dependent on how wide the rim/tire is. If you don't go with real wide drag style tires you should be good.

I had problems with my coils too, I had the retainer break off the frame and damage my truck in fact.

Disc Brake mock up

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

those are the eldorado brake calipers right? what does the bracket look like? where did you get the bracket? thanks rick

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

Wow really!!???? I had to cut my retainer cups with my grinder, because i couldn't get the bolts out. Eventually got it. As for my rims I intend to go with a 22x9.5 Foose Nitrous all around with a 35 series tire. I had actually thought about airbags (Still considering it) I just dont want to mod my tubs, bed, and inner fenders. My research shows that the C-Notch is not as difficult as I first thought. Just don't know yet.

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

Hey Rick, I'm not a brake guy, so I have no idea about what an Eldorado brake even looks like. I bought them from POL. Here is the desciption of the brakes and a picture of the bracket. The bracket is cool because you don't have to take the axel off to install them.

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

Did a little reseach Rick. They are Seville calipers 80-85. Man that's pretty good!!!! Very Impressive!!!!!!!! I'm going to have to get another cable for my E-brake looks like.

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

I'm jealous dude!!!!:whine:

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

You have nothing to be jealous about. I'm needing those headers!!!!!!!:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

haha thanks i am really wanting to convert to rear disk but the only thing stoppin me is the bracket. if i get the bracket then i am gonna go to the parts store get new clipers pads rotors and whatever brake sheilds i need and install. do i need to get different brake lines, proportioning valve and e brake cables? sorry for all the brake questions

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

I bought the entire kit from POL, I upgraded to stainless steel hoses. I'm sure POL sells the brackets. You will need a proportioning valve that correlates with your brakes ie (Drum/disc) or (Disc/Disc). You will need a different e brake cable this is the number they gave me to accomodate this(562) 949-0455. I heard that Willwood sells a valve that is adjustable for all types of application and it's actually reasonably priced. I wished I could enlighting you more. But I'm really green to this whole thing. I'm learning as I go. No need to be sorry. I love this site. I wished I'd known about it sooner!!!! I'd probably be farther along than I am!!!!! Keep in touch!!!! Let me know how it goes! I have two other guys building trucks right behind me. I'm the guinny Pig!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

haha ok sounds great. this is my first build as well, almost 16...... in my town i know where every 67 72 is EVERY SINGLE ONE haha

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

Put the 4 inch rear drop coils on tonight to see what I'm working with. It's hard to tell without putting the 2 inch in the front, but there is a very good drop, but I think I have to go with the 3/5 application. tell me what you guys think? I have brand new 2/4 inch drop CPP Coils for sale!!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

lookin' good man!! good job!

Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro
 

I'm currently taking the mock up pine wood and having a cabinet maker in town make me red oak pieces. Saving me approximately $200.00 in the process. I was watching Spike TV about a couple years ago and the guys were buliding a F100 called Old Skool. They put wood in the bed, stained it with this beautiful stain and then epoxied it with this item called Mirror Coat

1.First sand your wood with a 320 grit/ with a rubber block (get rid of dust)
2.I then applied the stain of choice with a foam brush (leave on 5-10 minutes for desired shade longer more dark)
3.Take a cloth towel wrapped in a paint roller and wipe the excess (Drag to wipe do not roll)
4.Wait to dry.
Here are my sample results and a picture of the Mirror Coat. (Part two coming soon)
