Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Sure, I swapped the trailing arms from left to right, as you pointed out. Part of the reasoning was the way I ran my exhaust tucked up between the frame rails, there was no good path to run the brake cables. Also, I plan on running the tailpipes along the outside of the trailing arms, as I'm planning on it exiting just in front of the rear tires. Currently I just have turn downs after the mufflers.

The Wilwood universal kit you referred to is the same as the Lokar kit I used. (Lokar actually makes the kit for Wilwood) You will also need the forward brake cable and then adapt it to your factory parking brake pedal/lever, part # EC-8001U. Here's a link to it on the Lokar website: http://lokar.com/product-pgs/ebrake-...h-ebrakes.html

Let me know if this info helps. I'll look through some more pics also to see if I have anything else for a visual.

Thanks,

Thx, Id be very interested in pics of where the front to rear cable mount come together, and I assume the lokar EC800U1 is a one piece from handle down to the rears clevis mount? As I don't have the parts a visual would be greatly appreciated. D'

And yea, where did the exhaust end up????

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Found this pic of how the exhaust is ran. Kind of shows the preliminary routing of the park brake cables. I ended up mounting them to the bottom of the cab floor and then route up thru the factory firewall hole.

Had a great time at the Lane Automotive Show last weekend. They picked our truck to be on the dash plaques and handed out 1,000 of them! Also met CherieLynn Westrich from Overhaulin' and Miss Painless Performance Veronica Jensen.Attachment 1408686

Congrats

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Such a good lookin' truck - thanks for posting up some new pics! Must be pretty cool to have your ride plastered all over the place like that!

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Truck turned out really nice. Have you been driving much? If so, how are you suspension parts working out?

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Well deserved, nice truck for sure!

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Congrats on the recognition Mike! Truck is still lookin great. Looks like a great turn out...thanks for sharing.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Thanks everyone!

The truck rides better than my '03 Silverado in all aspects: steering, braking, ride comfort, etc. Starting to play around with different spring rates and thinking about changing out the QA1's for RideTech shocks.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

If you need any assistance dialing in spring rates, let me know. I would be happy to help!

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Thanks Chase! I'm running 200# springs in the rear at the moment, but have some 250# springs waiting to go in. I'll be heading to Bowling Green, KY next week for the Ron Sutton Race Technology workshop and after that I'm ditching the large cap HEI and going with an MSD setup. We'll see how time goes this winter and hopefully I'll have the RideTech shocks in place for next season.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Made it back from Kentucky, the truck ran great as usual. Made a stop in Jasper and took a tour through Ridetech, awesome place and really liked what I saw! Here's a few pics from the trip. Had a great time at Ron Sutton's workshop also!

On another note, our C10's engine bay made the cover of the Motorstate Distributing 2016 Engine Builder catalog! It's the lower right pic.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

One of the coolest build threads! Truck is awesome!

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Thanks, appreciate the compliment!

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Very nice congrats on the accolades. That truck turned out slick as heck!

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Thanks!

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

A little more in the spotlight for out little C10. We made it into the CARS, INC. 2016 Calendar. Stay tuned as we begin phase 2 of our project and take it from a sporting street cruiser to several stages of prep for full on Autocross. Project G-TR 2.0 coming soon!

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Just came across this thread for the first time. Good looking project!

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Sweet Mike! :chevy: Just ordered the calendar. Price ain't bad, but the shipping....

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

That's pretty cool!

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
 

Thank you!

I didn't know they had them already available to order, but they did send me a handful of them. I may order some to have extras to give out at the local shows, etc.

Thank you!
