Re: 69 cst-10
It was a running and drivable truck but 1 part replacement turned into a complete tear down. I am lowering it 3.5/5in. I know a guy that builds engine's for a few local drag cars so he is doing one up for me. 454 .040 over for 462 estimated at 550hp/tq with the parts so far. There are about $5000 in other parts for the rest of the frame that i will post pics of later.
Yes it is the steering stop but it looks like it does not allow enough turn to that side Last edited by ripdog28; 04-29-2008 at 03:29 AM. |

Re: 69 cst-10
A few more pics. Took a bit of time to get all the oil and old paint off the frame and cross member but will be worth it. I do not have the space to take the cab and box off to do the frame all at once.

Re: 69 cst-10
Haven't done a lot in last few weeks but got some time Sat and Sun so this is what i accomplished. Stripped the back half bare then cleaned, Primed, and painted. I will be cutting off the Trailer hitch seeing that this truck will only be hauling @$$. If anyone wants the Trailing arms or hitch let me know just pay shipping.

Re: 69 cst-10
Got the Eng parts in. Block is prepped and painted. Should get the rotating assembly in by the end of the week.
 Still need to get the f@rd 9in installed and welded up along with the new trailing arms and cross member. May be 2 weeks to a rolling chassis.

Re: 69 cst-10
Got the engine back. I am working on getting the rear end mocked up and hope to have a rolling chassis within the month. I am installing a Jap trans that required the engine to be installed backwards so i need to get a few other things mocked up and fabricated. (joke) It is sitting that way just to fit. I'm planning on sending out the TH350 for a freshening up. anyone in socal that can let me know.

Re: 69 cst-10
Hey man,
that sounds good. Yeah I'd offer a ride and maybe still can just depends on if my one buddy I invited from the beginning wants to go. I know it'll be a good one no matter what. I mean I just organized it in the past month or so so I don't expect a crapload of people to be there but some is better than none and we'll get to do some work on some trucks

Re: 69 cst-10
Got the rear end tacked in... The axle is centered in the frame rails. Have 5.5in hanging off the trailing arms. Center of axle is 13.5in off ground for 28-30in tires and allowing for tire squat. The trailing arms are at a 7degree up angle. now i need to get the Watts Link set up tacked in.

Re: 69 cst-10
Got something accomplished finally. Havent welded in a years so a few crappy passes ground down and some extra ones made sure to penetrate. The stud on the rear is for a Watts link from Totally Polished.

Re: 69 cst-10
Finally got off my ass this Veterans day and did something. I had some cracks in the rear upper shock support so i welded them up and did a bit of mocking up/fab on the rear end. Here are some pretty pics

Re: 69 cst-10
Well i found out that i have been paid wrong for the last year and i got about $3g back. So i called up Currie to finish up my rear end. 9+ housing, Detroit locker, 3.70 gears. $1600
 well worth it IMO. Should have the chassis complete in a week. Will post pics as soon as i get it in.

Re: 69 cst-10
Thank you Third.
I got most of the steering set up sanded and primed/painted today. just need some new inner Tie-rod ends to finish it up. Also, with the help of a friend finished welding up the brackets on the rear end. Will have the third member in this week and will post more pics when it is installed.
