Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside

Thanks Man! Just got all the fabricated radiator hose tubes, air intake tube and radiator core support cover back from the powder coat shop. They came out really nice! All of the Hydra boost is plumbed as is all of the air ride compressors and tank and bags. Should have it started by Monday and hope to have the interior back in on Tuesday. So it wont be long now before I will be down to Tower Shops!

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside

Nice! Are you doing the air ride and brakes yourself? I installed all of the plates and bags in my truck and that part is pretty easy. I also did all of the brakes, control arms, pitman arm, idler arm, tie rod ends with billet adjusters, I also did all new stainless steel brake lines complete.
