Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
Its been a REALLY long time since I've updated this so i have quite a few pics to share, about 90 or so. Im going to split these up into sections for different parts of the truck to make it easier.
Lets start with Chassis/ suspension since thats where i left off. Once i had the frame cleaned up and all of the parts painted, i assembled the air ride and steering components. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then i put the wheels on and aired it out! ![]() checking fender clearance. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then rolled it outside for a little photo shoot. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Backhalf. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
Do you have a porterbuilt upper shock mount and c-notch on the back half? I'm getting ready to order the same.

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
Cam, glad to see you are still working on your baby. Very cool update, and lots of work done. I can't believe it's been over two years and you've done a complete 180 from when you started. You have done a great job on your ride, and even though we've never met, I'm very proud of the work you are doing at your young age. Good to see your updates and continue on with the great work. I'm so glad to be on this site to watch young guys like you...Jim

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
Sweet I really like porterbuilt products. I have there trailing arms with 1 inch drop built into them and trac bar kit. Getting ready to order c-notch and upper and lower shock mounts from them. Then this fall there tubular crossmember. I've saved your build thread cause we have the same pickup and doing the same thing except your doing air bags and I'm doing a spring drop. It keeps me motivated to do things to mine.
