Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
trucks looking good. You will LOVE the 6 liter upgrade. I am liking the new headlights. What is this "Relay Mod" you speak of?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
If you want even more light from those new housings, you could always throw a plug and play HID kit in, they are about $35 shipped on ebay. Truck looks great.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Wow, sorry I missed your replies, guys...
Thanks! Quote:

Well, since you asked... While accumulating parts for the LQ4, I started to realize that the brakes/suspension on this truck are not up to the task of handling a 400+hp engine, so I justified spending some money on a C5 big brake kit and Porterbuilt 1" forward control arms for the front. I will likely upgrade to CaptainFab's D52 rear discs in the process, with a few more things to come as well. Pics soon! ![]()

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
We were planning on doing CTC this year, but I don't think it's gonna happen, so we will more than likely hit GoodGuys Lonestar. Thinking I may try to have the suspension/brakes re-done by then- would make the drive much more pleasurable- we'll see how it goes...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Nice can't wait to see some pictures. Are you planning on keeping coils up front with the Porterbuilt arms or change over to Bags.

![]() Sticking with the coils for now, since I'm not ready to bite the bullet on an air management system. Nice thing is, if I ever do decide to 'bag it, I just have to remove the spring 'puck' from the arms and bolt 'em in. I'm looking forward to the better driveability with the 1" forward arms and Corvette/Kore3/CaptainFab brakes- I also have a PB sway bar coming for the front and a Z28 bar I may try to fit out back. Rounding up all the little parts (master cyl, rotors, pads, etc) I need to complete, then it's on ![]()

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Got a big box full o' goodies from Tobin at Kore3 including billet 5x5 hubs, custom machined C5 rotors, caliper/spindle adapter brackets, abutment brackets, and necessary hardware. The machined hubs are a work of art! Hope to be mocking up some 13" C5 brakes in the very near future

Kind of a shame to cover those hubs! Nice looking pieces.
