Thanks, and see you out there!
The Porterbuilt suspension is really nice, and is the way to go. |

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
Thanks
Very soon. We got them just in time to put them on for the show, and went into the trailer. When we take it out for the show display, I will update with some pictures. I wanted to go a little wider in the back, but think once the back fender is covering half the tire ![]() Thanks... Dakota Digital does a really nice job on the gauges and love the look of the black alloy on this particular cluster. Thanks Marc... also, on a side note, I am checking up on your order to see if there is any news. |

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
Saw your truck yesterday at the show. Looks awesome! Was going to try and see if you had a gas tank with you but you looked super busy.

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
Travis,
Those are very cool wheels, but somehow I pictured you for more of a Billet/Machined/Custom style of wheel! I thought that you would be more of a Boze, Schott type of guy...Something a little more edgy! Don't get me wrong, those are sweet, but not how I how I had visioned your pick on wheels for this! (truly not trying to sound sarcastic) What size(s) did you go with? They almost look like the same size on all four corners.... That would be cool because you could rotate! This is truly turning out to be such an awesome build!

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
Here are some progress pictures from the weekend. Got the bed risers made, and we ended up attaching the compressor, tank, VU4 & E-level computer to it. I don't have a picture of everything attached, but will try and upload some later.

Thanks. Steal away... below is a picture of how the compressors and tank were mounted. I will try and grab some better pictures. We still have a lot of wiring to clean up and route. |

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
Thanks guys!
We will be running the Porterbuilt hood hinges, but really wanted to have a gas assisted setup. I sent the hinges over to Ben @ Alexander Speed (Bhelton) to have him work out the details and make the brackets for me. He made it all work and think they came out pretty nice. We will now have 60-66 gas assisted hood hinges! I will be picking them up when in Charlotte next week, and can't wait to get them installed. |
