Re: Project Platinum C10
I'd be tempted to leave that original color.....
Nice buy!

Re: Project Platinum C10
It seems that almost everybody I've spoken to prefer spindles over arms as well. I can't say which is better, because the only thing I've used is spindles. My tires are bent in slightly.. I'm hoping after I replace the ball joints that it'll fix most of it, cuz my joints are shot.. I bought these DJM spindles and just cut my coils. The spindles touch the inside of the passenger wheel slightly, I'm just going to grind a tiny bit off.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Well it seems that I let the guys at DJM talk me into the control arms. He was rambling about "Better fit, new bushings, new ball joints, yadi yada...blah blah blah" Hope it's not a decision I will regret!

Re: Project Platinum C10
If the wheels are canted after lowering any truck, its because you haven't aligned it yet. That's completely adjustable and in no way a bad reflection on any lowering components. Just align the thing, its all part of the lowering process.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Thanks! I checked with approx. 4 or 5 places and only got 2 verbal quotes. One for 4700$ from Jeff's and one for $6500 from Brooms in Silsbee. I checked with a couple places in Orange but both only do collision repair. Someone told me to check with Classic Chevrolet in Beaumont also.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Dang!! You guys are about an hr from me! Not to shabby I might have to make a trip up there to meet you guys some day when I'm not trying to take my truck apart
I've been looking for a good shop to do a paint job so I'll be seeing how yours turns out, could possibly be worth the trip to get it painted.

Re: Project Platinum C10
I called the local shop this morning and he is pricing me the same setup I already priced but in the Boss 338's. If they are close in cost I will go with the Foose Rims although they do look very similar.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Yeah I'm going to probably get my bench seat re-done as well but I'm also looking into getting some low back bucket seats too but that isn't a for sure said and done thing.

Re: Project Platinum C10
I would like to do bucket seats but I have 2 small sons so I am going to keep the bench seat so we can ride around together. Thanks man, long road ahead but eventually it will be done.
