Re: The Wrong Bed C10 build

Man that's awesome! Your windshield pics remind me of my Navy time, diving mine to both coasts and all over the place.
It's cool that you took it to the salt. How did it do?

Those pics are SO cool, thanks for posting!
..and 'apologizing' for not posting updates for a while (months)? Some of us don't post updates for years lol

The truck looks great, and the pics going across country, how awsome!!

Re: The Wrong Bed C10 build

Man it did great other than the slow speeds (5 mph but its 2 miles long) in the pits at 100 degrees it got warm despite all the extra cooling features (200) so I'm going pull the intercooler and go with direct to the hat with the blower. and back to the vortec round hat because it looks better

Re: The Wrong Bed C10 build

So after getting all the salt off, I went ahead an yanked the transmission out as the TKX arrived. I went ahead and ditched the blow shield to in favor of going back to a stock truck bell housing. Trying to simplify as Its getting more and more travel time. This makes 3 transmissions this year as I can't settle on one....
