Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Time for her quadrennially scheduled waxing

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
It is, but also requires an extreme amount of work...
I know, I know... At least I can't change my mind again--there's no other options left ![]() Quote:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Awesome build! Spent a few hours reading thru all the pages! Your truck inspired me to do a paint job on my 70 stepper like yours! Beautiful truck!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
So, it looks like we're gonna end up with an 'extreme'ly low static coilover drop. I'll keep the thread up-to-date with any further changes (hopefully no mas)
Thanks and good luck! Only one way to know if you can do it, and that's to try. They have a much better selection of colors available now than they did a few years ago. Great quality paint, that I think I'll be using more of soon...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
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
So what was the reason to go with the PB rear vs NL. I like both products/companies so I was just curious and one happens to be in my backyard.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
No, it is one that I ordered that showed up on Friday. Just thought it was funny that you were talking about getting one when mine just showed up. I don't know if you have ever looked at one before, but they are very well built and have all of the needed baffles, and then some!

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...
