1971 c10 stepside

thanks, not my first choice for wheels but the had the matte look i was looking for since i already have billet intros on my other ride, i wanted something different , as for the tire size i did some research and the 285 are 700 thousands wider than the 265 so that makes it a 350 thousands split between inner outter wall which its about 11/32 of an inch so if i have to trim it will be minimal , im hoping , thanks again

cool! love the way coys look on our trucks and the new finish will set it off!

[raull]

well i got the suspension on friday but work and family activities has kept me away from the truck , so this morning i snuck in the garage for 2 hours before wife and kids woke up and took apart the front end , cleaned and sprayed with some more bedliner spray and made the cuts for rear c notch , oh and yes 2 more fregging rivets showed up on me , : hate them ,now off to friends house for red zone football ,

Great progress bro....you are flying thru this,,, I know that you are in heaven enjoying the built....

[VA72C10]

Looking good!!!

[lolife99]

Great progress.
I do have a concern.
I think you have your upper a-arms on the wrong side.
This appears to be the "passenger side" upper a-arm mounted on the "drivers side".

[raull]

WoW buddy , good job , late last nite i presented that side to take a picture and i notice it was stamp wrong , ( both sides ) so i swap them , gave ride tech a call today to let them know but i did not post it in here as i dont like to put nobody down , thanks for looking out though ,

last nite i ran air lines to the rear and put back together the rear end gears so as for now im waiting on u bolts for front lower arms arriving tomorow as well as shock studs that were missing from the order and disc brakes kits that should arrive today , next task is to modify panhard bar bracket to work with the aluminum rear end cover

[69CST-V]

I might be the picture hiding it, but on the lower control arm. There should be a bracket to the front in the middle of the tube for the sway bar link. I didn't see it in the picture so I was just wanting to make sure.

Great progress by the way.

[raull]

the brakes are here so i will be able to make some progress today ,

[raull]

you are right, they sent some extra brackets in case i want to install in the future , they only welded the ones to the rear for the shocks ,

[CC69Rat]

I just have to ask, are you married? How do you get all this by the wife? You are flying through this build. Wow. Can I bring my truck to your place for a couple weeks please?
