Re: Few questions - 83 c10 - drop ?, seat ?, etc
alright, here is a strange update. decided to finish with the drivers bump stop. finally got it off. jacked up the pumpkin and took out the jack stand and put tire back on. looked at leaf, its back to normal. jacked back up, stayed like it should.
wtf? took it out for a VERY slow ride, everything is fine. went a little faster(40) everything is fine. went 75 everything is fine, no shifting or clunking or loose feeling. went forward and reverse. drove over a rough ass road and hit pot holes, no banging or hitting or clunking. i know ubolts are slightly too big(new 3'' ones come tomorrow) but nothing was moving or shifting. even tried my luck and laid some nice rubber down lol. everything seems to be fine. pulled out the front bumps(i know i'm an idiot) and JHILDE you were correct, they needed to be flipped and changed to the other fender. cut off the last 2 bumper bolts and drilled holes for the roll pan. so looks like everything is going well right now. alignment tomorrow, hopefully swap the ubolts, reposition the exhaust(still rattles and rubs alittle), install the factory rubber bumps on the front, paint the new spindles(i was in a rush it was getting near 10pm and way past dark), and hopefully can score some free or cheap tires to throw on the truck. the GINORMOUS 30's rub very nicely lol. new pics up as soon as i finish up a few things and get the pan on the back. hopefully the little bit of body work it needs is finished this week(plan on shaving all the moldings/filling the holes, pulling the pass mirror and filling, cutting and welding in new patches behind the rear wheels and sanding the roll pan). hopefully i can figure out what color to paint it and buy the paint and get it sprayed by the end of the month. i'm pretty broke right now and trying to score a set of cheap rally rims(like i see a lot of members on here running) but havent had any luck on finding any. called 7 junkyards and they dont have any. anyone got any they want to let go for cheap? |
