Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Hey Al is Sylvester sporting the rear bag top mounting hats or did you drill and mount the rear bags to the frame?

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Here are a couple of picts from this week that hopefully will give you a better idea of what it looks like aired out...These pictures are on my driveway which has a bit of a pitch making the rear look higher..

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I love how Al calls this truck a bucket when it is easily one of the nicest trucks on this forum. Recent pics look awesome.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Al, I am assuming you have the 67-69 rear housing under it (?)

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Chad if I remember correctly he has the original wide 71 housing. I think his tires are really close to the fender lip but still work for him. I remember seeing pictures and discussions of it earlier in the thread.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Just wondering how mine would sit in comparison
My rear wheels are 6" backspacing on a wide housing. I may have to space them out a tad but maybe 3/8 or 1/2 is not a big deal. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I would swap to the narrower rear housing (67-69) waaaaay before I would do any welding on your beautiful truck.
Just my 2 cents,...
