LSJRL07 C20 Build "Tarnished Penny"

[lsjrl07]

I have wanted a 67-72 C10 for years. 6 Months ago, I traded my 1970 VW Bus for a 1971 C20. It has a 350 Engine and 350 Trans. Interior is decent and the only rust is on the door sills. I already have replacement panels, but I am leaving it for now.


Current Plans are as follows:

Leave Patina & Clear Coat over
- Custom Pinstriping by Joe "Kar2Lo" Cartullo
Convert to 6 Lug & bag
- CPP Modular Spindles
- CPP Trailing Arm Crossmember
- CPP 1.5" Drop blocks

- MORE TO COME>>>


The Day I got it...




I only had it a month, and I ordered a drop kit. After installing the 3/5 drop kit, I realized it wasn't low enough.




So I began researching and buying parts here and there to get it even lower. I finally got close to finishing up the front bags.



Last night I bolted the front end up and realized that the CPP Modular spindles did not fit my ball joints.


I will be running some 22" transports with some chrome center caps. I have already ordered the Cap Clips from Struggle55 off of Instagram. I can't wait to continue this build.




More to Come... It has taken me a while to finish the bagging. My wife and I welcomed our baby girl on December 16th, so I have been balancing that with work. I plan to take it to the Lonestar Throwdown in Conroe for my first big show... Any/All Questions & Advice is welcome.
