Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

When I had mine done the shop that did it told me what measurements they needed. I think it was from the tail shaft housing to the center of the carrier bearing mount, then from the center of the carrier bearing mount to the edge of the pinion yoke (center of rear u-joints) at full lift, all the way down and at ride height.

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

You can run as many as you need, because they are ported to the tank. I will add another one to the other side, one is a little slow. The VU4 has two intake ports that you can run line from the tank. Thanks

Did you find a wheel and tire while out shopping? If so what did you end up getting 15's or 22's? Truck looks great! I just order my trailing arms so I'm looking forward to getting those!

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

Well I went over to Stockton Wheel and think I'm having them make me some 15" steel smoothies with a 2 3/4 WW and a set of the bullet center caps and the wheels will get powder coated in a dark red like the interior of the truck.
