Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

Greatings all. I am Mike from Sarnia Ontario Canada. I currently have a 1979 C20 truck with a warmed up 350 th400 and a 14 full floating rear end with 4.10 gears. I have had this truck for 10 years now and every year I put a little more in it to fix it up. One day it will be done.

After owning it for a few years. I had to replace the bed.

Warmed up the motor. Yellow paint was the biggest mistake I ever made. I have never had any luck with it and it is chipping off.

I will have to post pictures of the interior as I have cleaned it up a little. I did solve my lean issue and I will be replacing the springs later on in the spring.

those wheels look geat!! i want a set!

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

I paid 200 for the wheels in Michigan and 20.00 for all of the centre caps so the price was right. Tires are 275-60-r17 So far they have been great for the truck but I need more horsepower to do a good burnout.

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

i wish i could find a set that cheep.

Hi welcome

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

What did you use to lower the rear??

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

Shackles and hangers from McGaughty's

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

I looked through their site but cant find any C20 stuff?? Do you have a link from where you got the stuff? I cant find quality lowering parts for my C20...

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

Sorry I forgot what brand I used but it was really western chassis

Hangers

I did have to drill new holes in my frame for the hangers in the front.

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

Thank you. All I could find are airbaggit it parts. How many holes did you have to drill? Did the hangers not line up with all the old rivet holes?

Thanks again for the help

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

No they did not line up very well. I lined up one hole that was in the factory and drilled out the rest. I cut the coils but I will be getting spindles from POL as I need new springs all the way around.

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

One last question, how far apart were the old holes from the new holes? I dont mind drilling I just dont want two holes so close that it makes the mounting weak.

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

All of the holes were more then 1" away from what I remember. If there was to be one to be to close I would have welded it up but I did not do that to any of them.

Re: Freakin new guy from Ontario
 

Cool. Thanks again
