Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
I am a new member here and wanted to thank everyone here who has been helping me with my new truck. I found this truck on ebay....had it shipped across the country to me (was damaged during transit in drivers fender)
I did not know much at all about these trucks untill I found this web site (thank you lord) I have gained very much knowlege over the past month from all of you guys here...and would not have been able to start working on this project without you all....SO THANK YOU. Let me give some details of work completed in the month that I have had this truck. 1970 CST-10 402 big block I just installed Air Ride tech cool ride kit w/ digital controller. CCP full disc brake 5 lug conv (was 6 lug) cross drilled and slotted...replaced brake booster and master cylinder... Installed new Foose Nitrous 18" front and 20" rear wheels Engine work: Lunati Cam and lifters, Edelbrock pro performed manifold, full roller rockers, pete jackson gear drive, and I have some ceramic hooker headers to install after the cam is broken in. So far it sounds good..cant wait to install the headers and reroute the exhaust. I plan to poss install a wood bed or show deck...still trying to make up my mind. I hope everyone likes the truck so far...Please give feedback on what you guys think....after all this truck would not be where it is at without you!

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
That is a awsome LWB truck. How do you like the air ride? I have thought about it for mine but just can't bring myself to do it.

buy everything in pieces to make it cheaper. Air Ride tech makes a good kit...but its pricey $$. You can make a kit for cheaper through sucide doors. Other than that, I love that you can slam it when parked. Also rides good down the road with the bigger tires.

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
That should put some of the long box haters in their place. You have a perfect combo there. All the stock trim and paint, nice stance with your air ride and I will begrudgingly say...I even like the wheel tire combo. (slowly coming around to liking the larger size wheels)

That's one bigger than the one I got. I'm using 1.5 rollers. I'm not sure about using 1.6 on mine or what it even will do. The 1.7 is stock for big blocks, right? s/t

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
The truck is beautiful man! I love the additions that you've made especially to the engine. The air suspension really set the attitude for your truck, and the wheels finished off the deal!
Good luck on any other mods you decide to do. This site is great, and there are a lot of great members on the board. Just one big happy family!

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
Very nice. I wish either one of mine looked that good. What did it cost before mods?
