Re: '63 c10 drag build
Probably will anyways,,, but, just be aware because you have altered the firewall, you will need a full SFI certified cage, SFI window net, SFI firesuit, clutch / flexplate / bellhousing shield, Trans shield / blanket (or SFI case trans),, Might as well make it light enough to run 8.50,, your going to have to have all the safety equipment to be there anyways.

Re: '63 c10 drag build
Thanks man yeah I picked up the rule book I've been having trouble understanding the language of it. Like where certain bars need to be for an altered firewall.

Re: '63 c10 drag build
Yea I checked them out --- very nice!
Your build is looking good, is it going to be track ready this year you think? I suspect you will be coming to SAC raceway or is there a place up in Chico area to run?

Re: '63 c10 drag build
Did you weld that on?
Reason I'm asking I posted a thread about a weld in back half. Going to go 4 link with narrowed 9" Did you box where the back half is located and welded it to the box portion? Also what size tire and backspacing are you going with ? I'm looking at running some 15x14 prostars but no idea what BS I want to run |

Re: '63 c10 drag build
Yeah welded in its a back half for a camaro so the frame sizes are different so it's boxed and coped around the back half.
Weld 15x14 3.5" bs The axle housing end to end is 34" |

Re: '63 c10 drag build
I was thinking a 7.5" B.s. for mine to keep strain off the rear end. Do you think that will be ok to run?
I finally found a decent video of a backhalf install on a s10 yesterday. I may just take mine somewhere and have it installed. I was going to box the stock frame behind the cab then see what we can do as far as welding it in. What's your thoughts on this? |

Re: '63 c10 drag build
I ran a 12" wide wheel with 7.5" back space for years. I only recently went to a 12" with 4.5" bs when we built this rear. Ironically when I decided to go to the 32x14 my old 12" / 7.5 bs put the bigger tire exactly where it needed to be. Only thing is I wish it were a 14" wheel.

Re: '63 c10 drag build
Ah ok. See I didn't know if 7.5 would be ok.
My 15x10 prostars had a 4.5" bs. And with 325/60/15 drag radials I ended up rolling my fenders but had no issues other than that. I couldn't go wider because of my leaf springs and stock wheel tubs. |

Thanks for the pics. Looks badass! I think I'm going to start a thread on welded back half and get some ideas. If we can do it at my friends shop I would rather do it their than a chassis shop 3 hours upstate Ms
