Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build

Yup, bed bolts directly to frame. I might put some thin rubber in-between.

I am looking to get 20x8.5 with either 245/45 or 255/45. What ever is cheaper and i am not going to stagger them since I need to get life out of the tires because it is my daily driver now!

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
I forget what you said about your engine. Was it built internally? Looks awesome by the way. Cant wait to hear it rumble. I love the sound of a healthy carbed 350.

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
got some work done this weekend. Got the truck out of the back yardand into the garage. pulled the cab and bed off. mounted the motor and put the tranny on the stand. i ordered a bunch of parts, (waterpump,balancer,shift kit, and some little stuff). Its a big motivator to see my motor in. Crossed a big milestone.
