Re: My 83' C10 Build

So been thinking A LOT lately about everything i wan to do, i may be impatient but i'm also a perfectionist, doesn't seem right does it? lol but anyways, I've decided that i want to put an air ride system all the way around, thinking about using ridetechs' air suspension system from jegs, http://www.jegs.com/i/Ridetech/029/1...60#moreDetails. would like some thoughts and see if anyone has used the system before? keep in mind this will be a daily driver as well as somewhat of a track truck as well.

plan on putting a full roll cage, get a 350 motor, rebuild it with coil pack conversion, fuel injection, edelbrock heads with hydraulic roller lifters, electric water pump or performance water pump, maybe a serpentine belt drive (will have ac), disc brakes all the way around, new aluminum radiator, ac condenser, oil cooler, trans cooler and msd ignition system. uhm... change from dual headlights to single headlights and get the lmc truck halogen conversion then add hid to that system, led tail lights, turn signals, markers and front turn signals. custom interior, mostly just the center console and audio system, i'll be adding a lot of electronics like electric fans, headlight switches, switch for hazard lights, ignition hot switch, accessory switch, battery cutoff switch and the list keeps going. then maybe a LONNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG way down the road turn the truck over to all wheel drive, yes i did just say that, with independent suspension all the way around.

so yeah that's my plan, may take a few years to complete but that's all good. few pics coming soon! also check out my thread for my led tail lights!
