Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
Sounds like a plan on the arms. Why not just use Porterbuilts Foward Arms?
The engine is going to look outstanding with those webers! Posted via Mobile Device

I'm planning on coating the carbs with PPG DX series aluminum conditioner to get this look. The stacks will be satin black and manifold will be Alpine Green like factory '66 327s, and I'll use either zinc plated steel lines or regular rubber fuel hose for more of a factory look.

Got the F-Body pan and cleaned it up. Also pulled out the front suspension parts to take baseline measurments from the A-arms.

Nice, thanks for posting those! We nearly bought a '64 Vert that had been garaged for 30 years (no rust!) but the dude backed of the sale.

I sold the front suspension and brake parts so I weighed it all while I had it pulled out. My digital scales have a 35 pound weight limit so I had to measure the heavy stuff with bathroom scales. It will be interesting (to me atleast) to see how much weight I can save with the rack and pinion kit, tubular arms, and CPP modular spindles.
Total weight- 279 pounds, 4.1 oz.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
"MalibuKasey and I have been planning out building our own tubular A-arms that fix the lack of needed castor and camber adjustment that stock arms have and also move the wheel forward to center the wheel in the fenderwell while we're at it. I'm also going to look into taller C20 upper ball joints that will increase camber gain through the suspension travel, and possibly drop the upper A-arm cross bar mount for even more camber gain if its needed."
Don't tell me you 86'd this part of the project and decided to buy rather than redesign. I was curious on what you came up with cause your always top notch. ![]() I recently made a upper ball joint/a-arm mod and not sure if it will help or hinder my build. |

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
Did a little parts shopping. Picked up an original offset stud driver side mirror that will replace the original (and hideous!) RV jr mirrors. Still need a passenger side arm and mirror head. Also scored a deal on a pair of NOS Custom sail plates.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
nice finds, especially the cab sails! I need to find a set of mirrors like that for mine in the future. I plan to get rid of the dumbo style aftermarket mirrors which are also hideous! btw, where'd you find the Custom cab sails?

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
I love your builds. I went back the other day to your dodge build to get a refresher on blocking and what seam sealers you use. Your documentation on here is priceless.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
That's my second late night catch! The other was a just-posted Marchal Amplilux headlight for $65 BIN, ten bucks shipping. I posted it on a Porsche forum and sold it for $175 plus shipping the same week... I'm still kicking myself for selling that one, I should have pieced together a pair for Goldilocks.
Really neat headlights from the 60's/70's. They have a separate bulb and reflector for low/high beams so each reflector and lens section is suited for the beam pattern. ![]() ![]() Quote:
I bought it from US Parts Outlet on ebay. Shipping was very quick, got here a few days sooner than expected. I couldn't find anyone local that had them.
