Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Not to rub it in but the show was great!!! Maybe next year or there is a cruise in every friday in the boro. I got my 69 going well enough to make the 160 mile round trip. It was by far not the nicest there, but it was mine and it made it there and back!! I can't wait to see your ride in person some day.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Haha well I wouldn't call you out on any of your mistakes because so many do things so differently. But I do see a few things I would have done different!

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Ok ok the windows are bad, but I would have also attached a top plate to the roof line and one to the floor on your door wall. Then I would have measured my studs individually so they would be continuous and you wouldn't have to have little pieces about your top plate you have now.. Looks great though for your first time! Its just some wood and nails, pretty easy to fix bro!! Keep up the good work.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
I had the same issue last week with my spindles I got my CCP from truck and car shop and they came with the uppers then my buddy ordered me the lowers, from his supplier and got them pressed in and started to install and yup way to short. Had to run up to a parts store to get some replacements. It was a wonderful waste of a couple of hours. Thats what I got for not compairing them beside the old ones befor pressing them in.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Rus did you drop your top ball joint in and put the bolts in from the bottom? Or did you put the ball joint in from the bottom? can't tell by the pic.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Heres an example of the u joint I was telling you about. You would need to know the correct measurements of yours to get the right one though.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
So I talked to Jeff at CPP and we figured out that the ball joints were packaged wrong (right number on the bag, wrong ball joint sealed in the bag). Jeff is rushing me the correct ones and he cut me a deal on a shock relocation kit for the rear...

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
+Rus the same thing happened to me on the kit I ordered from Classic Parts- right bag wrong ball joints. Ended up getting from a local supplier but Classic did credit me back the price of two ball joints.
