Re: 69, no wait, 71 C10 Project
Group photo of the drivetrain components. They seem to get along just fine. Rear end now has a 3.73 Detroit Tru Trac and Wilwood pads, rotors and calipers. Came out nice.
All are waiting patiently for the chassis, which I just picked up today from the powder coater. Pics later on that, but it looks awesome. So, being worried about placing the newly coated frame onto jackstands for reassembly, I decided that the container of Plasti Dip I had laying around could come in handy. Dipped the jackstand tops in for 4 coats. It may not last forever, but it will last long enough for reassembly. |

Re: 69, no wait, 71 C10 Project
Looking good! If your plasti-dip does not hold up then I can suggest the jack stand pads from Harbor Freight. I have them on all my jackstands and seem to keep from marring the finish on my frame.

Re: 69, no wait, 71 C10 Project
Oh bud you have no idea, my truck may look pretty on the outside but the frame underneath has always upset me with its lacklust appeal being still factory paint and 100k miles of rust, oil, and grime. Changing shortly as I'm redoing my rear suspension currently and the frame is bare right now so she'll get a nice treatment.

Re: 69, no wait, 71 C10 Project
Really nice truck. I see you picked up the truck near Battle Creek. I live just outside Battle Creek myself. Anyway... could you share the specs on those rims and tires? Looking for ideas for my 68 C10 and those would look great I think!

Wheels are US Mag Ramblers. Fronts are 18x8 on Nitto 255/45/18 and rears are 18x9.5 on Nitto 295/45/18. Can't recall the back spacing, but i am trying to track that down. Just found backspace numbers. Front is 4.50 and rear is 5.25. Last edited by flipper58; 08-30-2017 at 12:38 PM. |

Re: 69, no wait, 71 C10 Project
Maybe I missed it but what headers are you going with? I have the Gibson long tubes and they would likely interfere with your coil relocation setup. Just making sure you have thought that potential interference through. I just got done with a reroute of my ECM harness for better clearance around the headers today so made me think of that when I saw your pics. Mine is a '68 C10.

Re: 69, no wait, 71 C10 Project
Most of the Dynamat is installed. DBW pedal is mounted and the Kev's Classics rebuilt tilt column is next. Slow but steady progress.

Re: 69, no wait, 71 C10 Project
Tilt steering column (Kev's Classics) and new Forever Sharp steering wheel are installed. Man, it is painful to work on the truck with only a propane heater and 10 degree outside temperature. It is even more difficult to convince someone to help me out with the brake system bleed. Patience, I guess. Or, maybe a "heat wave" up to the mid-20s will do the trick.

Re: 69, no wait, 71 C10 Project
Man, it has been a long time since my last update. A bit of progress. Sound deadener, carpet and subwoofer are all installed. Seat is in as well.

Re: 69, no wait, 71 C10 Project
Something painted this way comes. Well, just left the paint shop to check out the truck. It came out sweet. The photos just don't do it justice. Now, time to get off my arse even more to get it ready for the cab, which I hope to retrieve in the next couple of weeks.
