Thats awesome Dino!!

the spindles are for an 88-98 chevy c1500. You use the 88-98 upper ball joints(direct bolt in to 70 upper a-arm), 88-98 lower balljoints(need to find 67-68 3/4 ton lower arm and neww balljoint will press in) 88-98 inner and outer tie rods(the 70 center link needs to be reemed out to fit the new tie rods). For the brakes I used 88-98 6-lug rotors to match the rear of my 70, and 88-98 calipers. I havn't delt with the brake lines yet, shouldn't be that difficult though. My tie rod angle is close to stock so hopefully I wont have any bumpsteer issues. With the fiberglass fenders I am using it cleers 35's with no clearance issues. I'll try to post pics(have never done it before maybe someone can walk me through it as I am not very computer savy).

thirdstreettito · 08-22-2008, 12:33 AM

Just read the whole thread...

When I first saw you got a lift, I thought, oh hes gonna make it a 4x4. WRONG

Baja!

I'll have to make a 67-72 Baja one day...

Crazy to see you post on here. Saw your pics on nwbmwclub and I like it. Sadly didn't make it to the show, but heard a c10 was there. Glad to see the c10's represented. Yes I'm one of the bmw guys haha, don't lump me in w/ their antics though...

twotons · 09-09-2008, 09:41 AM

Heck yes. Would love to. I know whenever the dynoday for the bmw guys is I'm just gonna come out and watch and give James Haile a hard time for anything and everything like I always do. Sadly my c10 isn't on this side of the state, I wish it was. Its in seattle in a million pieces right now, I'm over at GU for college right now.

Dinos63 · 09-17-2008, 09:23 PM

yes and no these pics are full up and down, the truck has a height location that the camber set at and it seems to drive and steer fine, feels safe, 37x17teen baja tires I wasn't kidding my self about how it was going steer and after going between10and 13"of movement . I haul butt on the freeway, don't get me wrong its know lambo but its fun

Hurry up and paint it

YOLO · 09-18-2008, 10:13 AM

Who cares if it's not painted, it looks cool. Oh ya, I want to park my 63 next to it. It would be so cool to park my 63 under it! That would be in every classic truck magazine out there.
