Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
John,
Have a look at this thread... http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/show...=17744&page=38 Starting on post #548, Mark talks about updating the car. On post 607, he shows the wheel and front brakes (ZR1, 394mm rotors). Post 731 talks about the wheel specs. Post 747 there are pics of the rear end with new axle ends from Detroit Speed to mount the ZR! hubs and brakes and make the 9" a floater. Read thru his posts and you can get a lot of info on the set up. Just an FYI, more food for thought.... BTW, can't wait to see the front rolling with those meats...

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
When I saw you were looking at the floater, Mark's car was the first I thought of. Hopefully Detroit Speed can get you the info you need on those ends and the rest of the rear...

I did find a source for a complete axle assembly using the ZR1 hub assembly. They'll only build a complete axle though, won't sell the ends separately. http://www.speedtech-performance.com...d=84/prd84.htm

Those were CPP notches. They're long gone, going in a different direction now.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
Possibly Z'ing the frame to raise the rails. I really want to be able to tow with the truck so I want the full frame rail height over the axle.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
I stuck the front end together enough to get it rolling. We may be moving to another shop soon so I needed to make the truck roll. First time it's rolled on it's on in awhile...
I also bought a reproduction floor mat from Fred's Truck Parts. These have been out of production for years now and I looked everywhere trying to find one. The mats from Fred's are much nicer than the previous reproductions. I've been saving up and selling off some of my extra cars to build a garage/apartment and I haven't been spending much on any of my projects lately, so there won't be any big updates for awhile. The rear axle/suspension/brakes are going to run around $5k... can't drop that on it anytime soon. My plan is to build without going into debt, so once it's built I won't have a monthly payment, which equals more parts money. I've never been one that likes to save money but making some sacrifices now will pay off later. Couple pics of the front on the ground for the first time. ![]() ![]() And the floor mat. ![]()

That mat does look like it fits well. I'll have to check into those.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
Good luck with the move! Sounds like you have a good plan with priorities in line. It's not worth it to put debt/strain on yourself to build a toy, only to have that affect other parts of your life. It may take longer to build, but it'll pay off in the end as you mentioned. The front end looks good together, & I dig the repro rubber mat. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it in the floor mat thread. Looking forward to your continued progress once it resumes.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
Saw the front suspension pic on FB, looks good. Fully agree on saving and not going into debt for the truck. X2 on the mat, I have been thinking of not doing carpet in my '65 once I get that far, I will have to check out the mat at Fred's.
Will be waiting patiently for updates...

If you arent going to update the truck build, at least post up pics of the shop/apt build so we can live vicariously through you....

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
Appreciate it dudes. I'm really happy with the mat, great fit and the pattern is nicely molded.
I should have worded my last post better, I'm trying to avoid taking out a loan on the apartment/garage. I'll have a decent amount saved up by the end of the year but I haven't found any land for sale in the areas I like. I can post updates on that once it gets going. The other option is to take out a loan, keep my cash available for buying and flipping enough mini-projects like the blue C10 to get the loan paid off quickly. I'd rather not have a payment though.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
No, it's literally buried in the corner of the shop. I do have the spindle/brake parts at another machine shop to have caliper brackets made. (my name is John btw).
Plans for the truck have changed a bit, big surprise, right? ![]() (This is where MalibuKasey starts grumbling and making comments to try to keep me on track... ![]() I started a build thread in the "alternate tinkerings" section for the other car. The suspension is done and I should have the engine/trans swap finished by October, and then I'll start back on the C10. It'll be infinitely better on the track and get 30+ mpg as a daily. Did I mention it pulls 1.06g on cheap all season tires in mid-30 degree weather? I doubt Goldilocks would ever be able to do that, no matter what suspension and tires are under it. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=727205 ![]() Mock up engine, I'm swapping in a Miata 1.6 with sidedraft Webers to triple the horsepower. With only 58 hp and all season tires it's currently keeping up with, or barely outrunning Fiesta/Focus ST's and WRX's at the local autocross. It'll be a track monster with more power and sticky tires. And if I stuff it in a wall its no big deal, I can buy a clean shell for a few hundred dollars and swap everything over easily. If I wreck 'locks on the track, there's no replacing it. ![]()

Sorry! Where the heck did I get Alan from???
![]() I've seen your other thread, looks great and the description sounds even better! I'll be watching over there. Post lots of info about the sidedrafts when you build/install them. I'm curious about how that's done.
