So tight! It's awesome that you got to drive it before and after the Porterbuilt suspension! How does it compare from stock to Dropmembered? What size exhaust did you run? I would also love to see pics of the inside of the bed! Awesome build drtyrat!

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Thanks guys...

Dino thanks man, i have a few copied pics of your herd for my screen savers.

The truck handles and drives amazing compaired to the way i got it. Porterbuilt got it right whith this set-up... i would say the sway bar is a must also, at high speed turns it is stable man..

I am running 2" exhaust pipe with headers and 16" glasspacks, i will get pictures of it for you soon.

Thanks again all and Merry Christmas

Here are some pics of the exhaust. They look close to the trailing arm but its just the camera angle, theres about 3/4" of room. I'm not sure if it will stay this way, i would like to run them out the back on each side of the license plate with fishtails somehow.

Hi there,

I'm a newcomer on your site, and your truck is exactly all what I love !
Beautiful job, really !

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

I'm sure you are sick of hearing this but,,,,,,,,, the truck is SWEEEEEEEET!

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Nice ride :metal:

I love the sound of glasspacks :thumbs:


Tony

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Thanks guys... It is sweet, i think im in love. These trucks are so cool man, and the sound of a crisp glasspack from a warm SBC is the best. I'm out wheel/tire shopping now. I say this with all my projects but i dont think i ever want to sell this one....

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Why did you put your tank and compressors in back of the axle? ;)

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

awesome man...glad you took pics, cuz i was about to ask how you ran the exhaust....sounds cool!

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Just liked it there, Im not going to move the fuel tank.

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

DRTYRAT30, your truck looks awesome!! how did you figure out your driveline specs to have it built? I am going to have the same thing done shortly on mine.

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

When I had mine done the shop that did it told me what measurements they needed. I think it was from the tail shaft housing to the center of the carrier bearing mount, then from the center of the carrier bearing mount to the edge of the pinion yoke (center of rear u-joints) at full lift, all the way down and at ride height.

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

I used this link

http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/app/...iagrams/m.html


and printed this form out then took it to my Drivline guy. The angles were figured out by me and Nate at Porterbuilt.

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Cool stuff man hey can you run dual compressors with the vu4?

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

You can run as many as you need, because they are ported to the tank. I will add another one to the other side, one is a little slow. The VU4 has two intake ports that you can run line from the tank. Thanks

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Did you find a wheel and tire while out shopping? If so what did you end up getting 15's or 22's? Truck looks great! I just order my trailing arms so I'm looking forward to getting those!

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Well I went over to Stockton Wheel and think I'm having them make me some 15" steel smoothies with a 2 3/4 WW and a set of the bullet center caps and the wheels will get powder coated in a dark red like the interior of the truck.
