Been a while since I posted - Brown 78'

It's been a long time since I posted something about any of the trucks. My Brown 78' C10 "Audrey", just got out of the garage after 7 months.
I sold the billet specialties off of it, I decided to narrow the rear end 1.5" each side so I could give my new 11" wheels a deeper dish with the backspacing.
I was going to convert it to discs but we are getting ready to move so I had to rebuild the drums. I got a set of rally wheels for dirt cheap, threw some coopers on there and painted them today actually.
Next I have to replace or rebuild the column at some point...few things wrong with it. I'm also considering lowering the front another inch to give it the correct stance again.

Re: Been a while since I posted - Brown 78'

I feel much better now. looks like you need to shorten those U bolts a bit. The truck looks great. For some reason I really like the brown.
