That is by far the cleanist, best looking suspension setup I have ever seen under a Chevy C10. Just sayin............................

Thank you! I can't take all the credit for the chassis, we tore my truck down last fall for cab corners and rocker panels and this is what it has snow balled into. A guy that is my neighbor/friend that I have know since I was little is giving me the assistance with this one, I call him the engineer lol. My grandpa actually had the Vette suspension and thats what got the ball rolling on this one, it went from integrating the suspension to the stock frame, to building a 2x4 box tube and led to the full round to chassis. He had never built a round tube and said he wanted a challenge this time. It has taught me a lot over the past year but to answer your question he is one of the guys who can vision it in his head and make it come to life, it's amazing.
Thanks again for the kind comment!

It works well! and I do have some progress pics to upload, but no primer yet but we are spreading filler, James thats helping me has always went filler to metal with primer over it. I talked to a couple of local body guys and everyone has different opinions but a lot of them do it that way, never guessed that was the right way but it must work lol
