Re: 1968 C10 SWB AZ build
Not for nuthin, if your front tires are that far back in the well, your front upper a arms are swapped side-side. Had it happen myself. Easy to fix. Check it out befor you send ti to alignment. Neat ol truck!

Re: 1968 C10 SWB AZ build
Great looking truck. I really like the exhaust work. Were you able to use the factory transmission crossmember?

Re: 1968 C10 SWB AZ build
I used the crossmembers from POL, as I wanted to tuck the exhaust up as much as possible.

Re: 1968 C10 SWB AZ build
Try to launch the truck over the weekend, probably going to need slicks.
I stalled up and then punched it, then had to feather the throttle but still spun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbI7IAHNF2U No stall just feathering the throttle pedal but still spun a little https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX-WSiCwklg |

Re: 1968 C10 SWB AZ build
I really like your truck. You've done a lot to overcome what time did to beat on it. Very clean work. I hope you are really enjoying driving it.

Re: 1968 C10 SWB AZ build
Mine still has a way to go to look as good as the other trucks. I wanted to get mine running and drive able before I start doing the body work.
