Re: My 73 c10 project.....

well even tho i wasn't allowed to even pass by the garage yesterday all it took was for me to ask my wife if she wanted to get her hair done and that was it!!...... i end up having about 4 hrs to my self and i ended up getting the compressors mounted, the air tanks and the valves i found a temporary place for them until i decide what im doing with the fuel tank situation and i end up taking the truck out of the garage to get some sun here are some pics

Re: My 73 c10 project.....

This might be a dumb question but is there a reason for the rear shackle hangers still being connected to the frame?

Haha yeah that sucks to be up early for work!!! Rather be up early to work on the truck I'll be up early tomorrow morning working on mine before my wife goes to work....then I got baby duty from 2-10pm haha... Its fun though hanging out with the little one can't wait until she can help me out with the truck!!!!! I'll never hear the end of it from the wife on that though lol.
