Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Ok had some time to spend on the truck this afternoon... I got it back down on the ground, I still need to make my shock relocation brackets and install new brake lines and shoes and wheel cylinders.. but it rolls and I made progress so I'm happy.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
do you have the link for this whole setup? I'd love to do individual company stuff (Wilwood, Hotchkis, etc.) but if it's decent to do and they do the whole setup that would make it painless

I called cpp and talked to Jeff, he gave me a discount because I was a forum member.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
I did have to buy a deluxe rear end kit also because I was converting mine to 5 lug and I was using a leaf spring rear end so I needed custom perches to weld on to accept trailing arms. One thing the kit did not come with that I wish it did was a shock relocation kit.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
I assume those are just mock up pictures?
I don't see any welds on those axle saddles. Make sure you check the pinion angle prior to welding.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Oh yes, just mock up. I have to check my pinion angle and tack weld my perches to the axle, then pull it back apart and weld it up!

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Will do.. Unfortunately I have come down with a virus and I can't hardly move. Which sucks because I am going to miss the show this weekend.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Not to rub it in but the show was great!!! Maybe next year or there is a cruise in every friday in the boro. I got my 69 going well enough to make the 160 mile round trip. It was by far not the nicest there, but it was mine and it made it there and back!! I can't wait to see your ride in person some day.
