I can't wait to take a measuring device to these things (and compare them to my Belltechs)! I've read and heard multiple different guesses and proposals on how much he track is narrowed. I want to quantitatively dispel all rumors

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
A set of CPP modular drop spindles. Hoping they will provide a narrower track-width (I'm eager to compare them to my Belltech drop spindles), which will provide clearance for turning at super-low heights (and maybe a deeper-dish wheel

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Good to hear! I've never seen one in person, but I've never seen a bad review on one. Im a little side-tracked with putting together an AOD to t5 swap on the Muskrat, so I've taken a break on ordering truck parts (for the moment). I have some time to kill while I wait for the PB bits...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I think we are all getting restless waiting to hear some news!! Even if it is just saying you have been too busy to work on your truck with your wife's car being a priority

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I thought you had gone with an air setup. I can't wait to see how it sits with an extreme coil-over!!!

47 pages deep and the project has a long way to go! Wow. I am impressed. I am looking forward to seeing this through. My goal is an extreme coilover drop on mine as well. Good work bud.

Started assembling the porterbuilt bits. They are powdercoated in a color called evo grey that is matte metallic and flips from silver to almost black, depending on the lighting. I like it!
