Re: Blue 65 c10 build
I vote for the sails. Truck looks awesome either way. Can you clarify what springs you have, I think you typed too fast, haha.

You typed that you had "CPP drop spindles,4" CPP drop coils rear, 3" CPP drop coils rear"

Oops, my bad. 3" drop coils in the front.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I've decided to put the sails on... So I'll post pics of them in a few days...

Re: Blue 65 c10 build
beautiful!!! I just bought a 65 same color with similar patina, im sticking with the patina also.

can you clear up your drop, is it 3" springs up front with drop spindles? and what is the total drop in front and rear?

Great truck, LOVE the color, although I'm partial.

Hope to run into you at a show this summer and have a look!

Good question. I'm guessing 5" Front, 6" Rear



First off, Really like the look of your truck.
I have a few Questions.

What year parts did you order from CPP, or part numbers if you have them,
F- Drop spindle, Front Drop Springs, Rotor, Caliper, Master.
R- Track Bar, Rear Drop Springs, Drop Blocks, U bolts. Thanks
What make and size tires?
What Wheels and caps?

I will be using your answers as a parts list, So Thank You.

Thanks.

No. I was moving it from one part of the garage to another, so I pulled it onto the driveway to snap those pics.

I doubt the trac bar would have any chance in hitting a rear mount fuel tank. It's pretty darn close to the diff cover.

Dreaming of a LSX in it, but .....
Any more on these 4 thoughts?

I will be leaving it as a LWB, and leaving it static drop.
The LS motor and roof rack are still in the mix.
