Nice parts! I bet you'll be really happy with it when you're driving it again.

Re: Project "April"
Finally got a limited slip! This is an Auburn limited slip differential with a 3.73 gear ratio in the stock GM 12-bolt. Also, switched from stock drum brakes to Wilwoods in the back! She looks pretty good with some discs in the back

Re: Project "April"
Had to relocate the gas tank from underneath the frame to in between the frame rails so it doesn't scrape
 also, got some bedliner shot. came out pretty clean!

Re: Project "April"
Bed back on, spare tire tied down, started on the exhaust (Using Black Widow-Pro Venom's), and installed the Porterbuilt inner frame stiffener. The frame stiffener is a really awesome piece, I would recommend to anyone with a C10, thanks Porterbuilt!

Re: Project "April"
Nice truck, I like that you went with coilovers. How is it driving around town, any trouble with speed bumps and such?

Re: Project "April"
Back on the road! Drives so great with the four link, no major issues to workout. She clears speed bumps as long as I go really slow haha. Definitely worth all the work, she is a major neck breaker now! I would definitely recommend going with coilovers... handles so much better than air ride

Re: Project "April"
Installed the porterbuilt hoodhinges. Great product, only took a few hours to setup. Plus, the hood opens to a ridiculously large angle now!
