1966 C-10 Stepside Build/Upgrades

[Nacho_Paras N.L.]

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the site, but I'm here to share my changes to my Orange Beast Hot Rod... I had it as a street/strip truck... More on the track than the street. It has a 468 BB, 400 turbo trans, semi-automatic with a 3500 stall, reverse pattern shift and transbrake. I upgraded the front with CPP disc brake conversion kit which up graded all the ball joints to 73-87 type ball joints and 2.5 drop spindles with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. In the back, I narrowed the rearend 5" over all to tuck in the 15x10 centerlines with a 5" back spacing. I also put moser axles 5 on 5 pattern with a 4.10 gear and a spool. Ilowered the rear with CPP 4" drop springs and 1.5" drop blocks.

My goal now is to put it on the street 100%. So, I will be adding some new wheels, Intro Rally 20" x 12" with an 8" lip in the rear and 20" x 8.5" in the front. Lowering the truck another inch or so all the way around, depending on the stance after the new wheels are mounted. Adding a C- notch to the frame. Changing Fuel cells for more fuel capacity. Higher gear ratio for the rear end to a 3.73 posi. and etc....... All the little things tha my come. Which I'm sure they will.. Add a bench seat instead of the racing seats that I currently have in it. Put in a new wood bed kit because I currently have a sheet of plywood in it.. And much more with time... Somewhat show quality but driven every weekend..
