WTB for my 72 C10 SWB 9 day build
 
Looking for: would prefer new or slightly used - NOS is not required

drop spindles
shock relocators (F&R)
drop shocks (F&R)
BBC headers
lower ball joints
upper tubular control arms ( may take lowers also if its a matching set)
rear disc break conversion (5x5 12 bolt)
adjust. trackbar
CCP trailing arms / crossmember
front rotors and bearings
disc/disc - booster/master/prop valve set up
inner handles and window cranks
exterior door handles
black low hump carpet
black dash pad
black head liner and trim
correct posi and gear ratio for running a 396/700R4 combo (12 bolt rear)
a nice set of 5x5 bolt rims and tires ( widest I can run on the back without altering the frame).
poly - body and core mounts
newer style step side box (I think they are 88-93?) Ive seen a few guys use them on the forum..

I plan on assembling my truck starting on 4-1-12. I have vacation for 9 days to get my truck as far as humanly possible (starting with a bare frame and clean cab/sheet metal). I will try to do a build thread with my wife posting updates every few hours or so. I will be starting with most of the larger items needed but am interrested in suggestions for parts missed in my list. If I dont locate parts on the forum by next week friday then I will order from one of our vendors.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Mike, I have drop shocks, all 4 that I wont be using. They were mounted never driven on. Look to be pretty new. Was going to call you soon to see if we could meet up for that core support and grill. Still have the rear drop coils if you still want them. LMK -Brett

Please post a link to the build thread here when you start it so I don't miss our little version of "Overhaulin" ;) :chevy:

I have a really nice black headliner and new in box headliner trim. Will look over your list later and try to come up with a good price for everything you need that I have ;)

Brett, May be able to get the core this weekend. I don't think that I will be traveling out of the midwest this week so I am sure we can figure something out.

Johnathon, let me know what you have..or what else I need. Do you happen to have a white faced tach dash? Or maybe SILVER?

Brett, I have your core support loaded in my Escort. yes I said ESCORT. I should be headed north around 2pm.
fpttt sent you a PM.
VA72C10, Let me know what you have to have for your headliner and trim. And what ever else you come up with.
DANTIP, Took your advice and got a set of 3.73's need a locker or posi now.. whats the "diff" between the two?

Re: WTB for my 72 C10 SWB 9 day build
 
how far south you planning on heading?

btw, as for the difference between locker and posi: they both pretty much do the same thing, but with a locker, you control when it "locks." posi uses friction to tell when to spin both wheels.

As far as posi carriers go, I have been told the most popular choice is an Eaton posi. I believe Eaton was the OE/GM unit in our 1/2-ton trucks as well as most vintage GM muscle-cars because they are durable and rebuildable.

nightmare, should be headed to OH next weekend. How far south I travel will depend on what you have and how much your asking ;)
black pearl 69, are they drilled and slotted? Whats the asking price with shipping? May already have a set on the way but not a sure thing yet.

I have a 1994 stepside bed from a project that I sold a while back. It's been disassembled and the outside of the steel box is primed. I moved the gas filler hole from the front of the panel to the back of the panel, and had it mostly completed before I sold the rest of the truck. Anyhow, there's the box, the stepsides, the tailgate, and the tail lights and plugs. I also made a fuel filler neck that works with bed and a blazer tank. I'll let you have it for what I paid for it, $750. Just let me know.
