Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
This isn't a great pic of the area, but I went with a blend of full shave and keeping A/C lines in stock-ish location.
This was less headache than completely moving them out of site, but still work. Just another idea for you.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
So true on so many levels. The depth of this statement is unfathomable
I’m with you

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
They always seem to come apart easier than they go back together. Ready for everything to be all clean do I don’t get so filthy while working on it...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Any plans to run the steel brake lines back to the firewall and behind the dropmember?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Yes, definitely going back to the firewall from the m/c, then down. Not 100% sure what I’ll do with the prop valve. It was mounted 73-87 style before, on the front crossmember. I liked that it was hidden, but if I can keep everything behind the DM, even better

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Mount the prop valve on the left hand frame rail under the cab, or ditch it and just run a Wilwood adjusble prop valve somewhere in the rear brake line.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Or... If you have deep pockets... Run the Baer Remaster with the undermounted prop valve. It's clean and not really noticeable.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks dudes! I can’t take much credit, this PB stuff is amazing. Zero mock-up before powder and zero issues at final assembly.
Haha, wouldn’t that be nice. I think the hardest parts lie ahead...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Stripped and recoated the Belltechs in my custom aluminum A-frame paint booth. Also hung the uppers and the new CPP rack. Waiting on paint to cure, press lower BJs, then get her back on her feet!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Got the Kore3 C5 brakes back on, snugged all the bolts, and set her on the ground. Found out my 5/8” drill bit is bent, so tie-rods will have to wait. Suspension should drop another inch or so with weight, but I’m thinking I want it lower...
