i just want to replace the stock c members where i can without the big $s

You don't need the panhard bar mount from Porterbuilt with just a 4/6 drop. Just run a adjustable track bar like the one from ece and you'll be fine. If you looking for c-notches, the Porterbuilt ones are hard to beat because of the design strength of the 2 piece notch.

This is what my days look like now

my little guy seems to enjoy it. I'm making pretty good progress though, already off crutches and my physical therapist says I'll be back to 100% in no time. Which is good because I can't wait to work on my truck again.

MMcMasters · 12-01-2016, 01:08 PM

That's good news man!

boostedc10 · 12-01-2016, 01:09 PM

Good to hear you are healing up quickly Keith!

reaper71 · 12-01-2016, 02:18 PM

Cool build...I am with you on the new cab choice.
I build Car's,Truck's etc. for a living and I have told Customer's they would be better off getting a better donor! To save them money in the long run, and it never goes that way and I end up replacing a TON of metal. Hope you get better soon and back to the build.

Mark...

**Dustmaker65** · 12-02-2016, 12:53 AM

Glad to hear that the surgery went well and you are healing fast.

mcbassin · 12-02-2016, 09:07 AM

I had a pretty "minor" tear in my right knee meniscus too, several years back. I wish the best in your recovery. It's annoying injury. Get well soon.

**Vic1947** · 12-02-2016, 10:19 AM

I know what it's like to be laid up and unable to work on my project... or even drive for that matter. Stir crazy doesn't really even describe it.

Being off crutches is a good sign, so keep up the rehab and it will all be in the rearview soon.

coopdog · 12-02-2016, 02:56 PM

Hope u get better man!!

swamp rat · 12-03-2016, 09:33 PM

Hang in there, it will be over before you know it! I talk from too many experiences.😊

Bennett68C10 · 12-29-2016, 02:11 PM

Thanks guys, hope everybody had a Merry Christmas and has a Happy New Year! No progress on the 68 yet, will be a couple of weeks before I can get back on it!

The new year is going to be full of new beginnings as I have a baby boy on the way

he is due to be here at the end of June! I am extremely excited!

Thanks guys, definitely will be an exciting 2017 for me! I can't wait for my little garage helper to get here

boostedc10 · 01-03-2017, 10:38 AM

I wish, but that's not going to happen. My truck fund has just turned into a baby fund instead.

It's going to take me a while to finish this truck now and I'm also going to have to cut the spending on things like getting the frame blasted and powder coated that I wanted to do. I'm just going to clean the frame up myself and paint it now, but I'm good with that. It's all worth it.

I know exactly how that goes Keith. My project also stalled when my little guy was born. Now that he's 3 its time for me to get mine done so we can enjoy it together!

That's basically where I'll be at with mine Brandon. Hopefully I can get it on the road by the time he is 3-4 years old
