Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Score!!!! Got a new part today!! It is a true 72 Chevy truck column, completely rebuilt, chromed, with billit arms and knobs!! He was aware of my disposition with the parts trade with a so called used parts guy so he gave me a deal on it. I gave him a POS van column and $325. He had 3 now he has 2 for the low price of $625 ea. A little better than the $730 plus shipping that Flaming River or Ididit is charging for an aftermarket product!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Nice build ! Just read thru it , you mentioned earlier in the thread about moving the front susp x-member forward one inch I might have missed something along the way but could you (or anyone) elaborate some on this and does it create any side issues? Thanks

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Thanks for checkin it out! I did alot of research and it is possible and has been done, but it is alot of work for gaining 1 1/4 inches. It does not pose any issues that I have found other than time consuming. After looking into it, the cheaper way is to either get tubular arms top and bottom or is you are using stock parts you can use more alignment shims in the back on the upper control arm and it will push it forward about an inch and still maintain alignment.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Updates with pics!! The weather was nice this weekend, well some of the weekend. Had a chance to get over to the shop and do a few things. Had fun bending brake lines for the rearend and up the frame channel, wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. Got some sound proofing/insulation stuff and installed that in the cab, that actually was fun to do. Easiest thing I have done on the project thus far. Here are the mandatory pictures to prove that the work was actually done.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Nice progress. The lines look good and so does the insulation...what brand was it?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
The brake lines had to be run a little different from stock, but it came out ok. I think it is made by Insul-Tek, it is heavy and made a huge difference when I bumped the back of the cab with my fist or closed the door. Sounds solid, and I have not put any in the doors yet.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Hahahha.....kinda, I just flipped the stock ones upside down and cut them to fit the trailing arm. It's back a couple of pages in my thread. 1980 model Corvette shocks work well!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
I appreciate that! O'Reilly! It was steel lines. They have multiple lengths and diameters in stock so I was able to use 3/16 on the rear and 5/16 tubing from the rear hose to the front. Outback Truck parts has a kit but I have been waiting for them to get it in.......and got tired of waiting.
