Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
My sand blaster is a pressure unit TIP 99'er that holds about 50 pounds of abrasive, run by an 80 gallon compressor that still needs a rest during blasting to catch up. I have always used fine grade abrasive and the current stuff is actually crushed glass that I get at crown paint. ( now Moody's I guess). No matter how you look at it, sand blasting is not fun.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Very nice Impala! Are the front wheels smaller than the back with bigger tires?
Solid truck! |

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Yeah the Impala has 18" on front and 20" on rear. Truck will have 20" on front and 22" on rear. Same Coy's C-5 Gray wheels. (If they ever ship).

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Tuesday was a big day. Most of the Porterbuilt parts showed up. Few small items coming next week.
Look at the amount of work just in the Dropmember itself: |

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Still waiting on my rear bushings and heim joints and hardware kits for the rear stuff. I took my boy fishing today so will probably actually start putting some stuff together Thursday. Quality looks really nice.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
I got started on the Porterbuilt install last night and today. Bunch of pictures, It is the Touring coilover version with four link and the weld in rear notches. Looks like the bed will need to be raised about 5-1/2" as expected. Everyhting is just installed loose so far. I also put the rear end housing mounts on the tubes but the are just tacked together and still rotate on the tube. I also plan on doing the crossmember bracing so I got a tabless PB truck arm crossmember too.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
I did some more work today. Goal was to finish welding up notch lower caps and get rear end hung in place on the trailing arms. Nate is making me another bridge assy as mine apparently was not the right one for the coilover upper mounting. Here are some pictures:

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
I have pretty much wrapped up the rear suspension now. Not shown, but I now have the frame side panhard bar mount tacked in so I can check it at my final ride height. I have installed a weld in plate on the inside of the frame rails at the 4 link front mounts, and another one that bolts to it so I can install bracing from the center Porterbuilt crossmember similar to what Nate did on the coilover version he has posted on his site. It will all be removeable when done. I had to trim a bit of the upper coilover mounts to get the upper spring seat to clear, and modify my frame side panhard bar mount a little. The picture of the whole truck is really close to actual ride height which is just what I was looking for with this static drop suspension setup.
