Re: 1971 c10 stepside

It's the air'd out picture that made all the headaches worth it... well, that's my opinion anyway.

Looks awesome Raull!

That looks SWEET!
So much better than before.
And the low ride height will be killer.

all good Bryce , God has blassed me by giving me the ability to have more than one toy , that way it keeps my mind off it when something goes wrong , since i had all that spare time left on the day , i spent some time with my other baby and did a brake job on it . gave it a bath and been that its a beatiful afternoon !!!! lets go for a ride !!!!

I figured you should just throw those turbo's on, then once the block swells up the bolt should slide right in!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside

Truck is looking great man, the new stance was worth all the headaches I bet. And I think we need some more pics of the Corvette, or you could just let me borrow it. That might be easier so you don't have to go through the trouble of uploading pics

Re: 1971 c10 stepside

All caught up on your Stepper. Just a little rake, looks great. Looking forward to your finish, awesome truck. Thanks for working out the component geometry for us step truckers, very trying I bet but oh so worth the headache to be one of the first on the road.
