Slam'ed 72 · 01-18-2013, 12:21 PM

I am fairly new to the build forum. Here are some build pictures of my 1972 C10.. Just installed the Porterbuilt Dropmember Rear. Still waiting on my four link setup...
I am going to run the Boss (Grey) 338 wheel. 20x8.5 in front and 22x9.5 in rear...

looks great, I live the paint scheme. The Porterbuilt rear setup looks real nice!

Slam'ed 72 · 01-24-2013, 10:37 AM

Got the wheels today.... Will be finishing up the Porterbuilt dropmember rear this weekend....

Looking good Don!!!!

Slam'ed 72 · 01-24-2013, 11:21 AM

Thanks. Great working with Porterbuilt on this project.. Can't wait to get the 4-link installed this weekend and get the bed set back on to get a good look at her....

Zoomin · 01-24-2013, 12:24 PM

Wheels and stance look killer. What other plans do you have for it?

Slam'ed 72 · 01-24-2013, 12:40 PM

Thanks... Wanna get the 4-link installed and get the bed on first...
I have a lot of bed work to do. I have to install a 3 1/2" false floor to work with the new gas tank.
After that.... 383 stroker and 5 speed..... goooooooo fast stuff...

addicted, I mean subscribed... cool truck so far... cant wait to see more.

Slam'ed 72 · 01-24-2013, 05:55 PM

Thanks for all the posts... This is my first C10 build and I hope it turns out...

Number98 · 01-24-2013, 07:15 PM

I love the truck man! Keep the updates coming!

I had a few questions about the wheels, What backspacing are you running?

Are you running the narrow 67-69 rearend or the wider 70-72 rear? Did you have to run a spacer on the rear? Also did you have to shave down your front hubs for the fronts to fit?

trkfrk · 01-24-2013, 08:22 PM

Subscribed! Awesome build... Love the stance an wheel combo. I wish I would have left the gray centers in my 308's instead of chroming them. Nice ride....

**67cheby** · 01-25-2013, 10:55 AM

SWEET build !

Slam'ed 72 · 01-25-2013, 01:06 PM

Thanks for all the posts...

Yes... I am running the stock 70 - 72 rear end on this truck... Don't think I will need spacer for the rear yet. Going to put the bed on this weekend.

And.... Yes I had to spend about an hour on each front hub to get the front wheels to fit..

Slam'ed 72 · 01-29-2013, 05:30 PM

Anyone running a 22x9.5 with 5.74" backspacing?

Slam'ed 72 · 02-05-2013, 03:20 PM

4-Link is now installed along with bags & shocks and Frame painted.....

Slam'ed 72 · 02-08-2013, 04:56 PM

The bed is finally on for a test fit. I am starting to think I might need to Z the front now...

Number98 · 02-19-2013, 02:45 PM

Looks pretty sweet layed out

I PM'ed you but how's the fit on the rears?
