C10CJ: A Pro-touring '71 Stepside on a No Limit Pro-C10 Chassis

[1971_c10]

Hi All,

I'm a little behind on getting a build thread going. SCOTI gave me a reminder today so here I go ...

I'm currently in the midst of doing some MAJOR surgery to my '71 C10 I've had since the mid 90's.

I'll start off with the plans I put together way back in March of this year.

The 2016 Build:

Chassis/Suspension:
No Limit Engineering Pro-C10 Chassis

Moser 9" with 3.70 gears on a Detroit Tru-Trac diff

Wilwood 14" 6 piston up front, 12.88" 4 piston out back

Ridetech HQ coil overs (may upgrade to shockwaves down the road)

Engine/Trans:
Going to bite the LS bullet and do it! (Eng was a SBC)

Keep my PATC Level 4 Raptor 700-R4 with 10.5" billet 3200 RPM converter

Wheels:
TBD!

Body Mods:
Raised bed floor with mini-tubs

Rear mount fuel tank

Firewall cleanup

No changes to existing color.

The attached image shows my desired changes to the stance using my sub-par photoshop skills. Top row is where I started, bottom row is where I am headed. We'll see how close I can get.

I'm pretty far into the build, so the next series of posts may seem like I'm making really fast progress, but not so much. I'll let you know when the posts catch up to current progress.
