One step closer...
Got the new front bearings and brakes all installed on the front spindles of the truck. Was going to put drilled slotted rotors on it but couldn't find a set that would fit the wheels without having them turned down. I may try after the Pour Tour but for now just regular ones will have to do.
Also got the new compressor hooked up and the truck is now able to pump the rear and soon to be front helper air bags all on it;s own from the cab.

Re: One step closer...
Congrats! I love when parts start coming together, you get that almost sense of accomplishment. You're kinda lucky with the 71 C10, there are a bunch of brake options. I've got a 70 C20, if you don't want to switch to 5 or 6 lug, there's really only 1 choice, it's CPP or.... well CPP.

Re: One step closer...
Got a few more things I'm waiting on but most of it is done for now. The tour is coming up fast and I need the truck ready which it is except for the small stuff.
Called speed hut today they said they should be shipping my gas guage back one day this week.
