Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build

I'm loving this 63', such an awesome job Travis!

Do you by chance have any pictures of how you connected the brake booster linkage to the brake pedal assembly? Do you sell the kit for the linkage?

Any pointers/insight on the install or what to tap the booster pushrod to is greatly appreciated, thanks man!

The sooner I hit the lottery, the sooner we can cruise to the Pavs, ha!

Thanks!

I am not sure what the seat is out of, since it was in the truck when I bought it. Maybe a mid-row seat from a van possibly?

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build

Got the truck back from exhaust and finally fired it up. I will upload a video in a little bit. I went with some 14" 5x8 Magnaflows with 2.5" pipe. I am planning to put some miles on the truck and get the bugs worked out, then take the exhaust off to get coated.

Thanks... hopefully those completed photos will be soon. I still have to have the hood paint matched. I am going to get some miles on it first and work out any bugs. I will be rolling hot rod style with no hood for a little bit.

Lol... no problem and is what it is all about! I'll keep an eye out for the Tubz, and haven't decided what I am going to do there.

I will try and get some more uploaded, and just have been thrashing to get it driving this week. It is a Boyds tank that we sell.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
