Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Congrats again for doing a quality "make over".
I bet most would be surprised by the amount of money you layed down to do these mods. The RideTech suspension parts, RideTech air management with the leveling system, RideTech tubular a-arms and their PRICEY MuscleBar sway bar. Then add 20" Billet Specialties billet wheels and steering wheel. Almost forgot the 4-wheel disc brake mods. You did your home work and spent your money ($$$) wisely. The results are stunning!

I am still not done as I have many misc items that i want to replace just because of wear and not up to the standards of what i want to accomplish. I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO MY BUDDY HARRY, JOHNNY AND RAUL WITHOUT THESE GUYS THIS TRUCK WOULD NOT HAD BEEN BUILT.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Hey Al,
Did you find the shank lugs? Also I am looking for a swb fleetside bed only for a 67-72. Let me know on the lugs and the bed when you get a chance. Also did you post pictures of your truck on Pro Touring? Regards, Perry PTS

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Hey Al, Im curious about the wheel clearances on your fronts. Im talking to Perry about some Intros and Id love to hear some feedback from how much room you have with yours...
An Im amazed at the drastic change your truck has made! I know how you feel about how much was spent and the changes it gives you. I just bought a front dropmember and some rear goodies from Nate. All that money that nobody will be able to see! LOL Keep up the good work

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I wanted to share that Raul came over last night and we checked the front air lines and finally figured out what happened the night before with the one blown line. Seems that we left a little extra slack on the line and when I was playing with the suspension the line moved and touch the header while I was driving and of course it melted immediately . With what I did early in the morning it will be perfect. I feel better knowing that the hose did not get pinched anywhere now the hose does not have that extra inch to be able to touch again.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Awesome work Al.... that truck is killer and has me envious.
Love the new mods; as lolife99 said, you spent money but you spent it in all the right places. Quality parts and free service, what's not to like. Can you get three pics for me? Air'd up, ride height, and laid out?

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Al -- Ever thought about a white top on your truck? Want me to Photoshop it? I think it would be a subtle change (not that it needs it!! ) But ?? .. just sayin .. I noticed it has the trim on it already.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Al,... don't forget to get an alignment done.
I told my alignment guy I wanted it as LOW as possible. The sad part,... it has to be a little higher in the front, than I like,... to get the front suspension to come into specs.
