So with the ten inch rears what offset did you use to keep everything tucked up inside with no rubbing issues. I don't think you narrowed or moved any of the rear suspension did you?

What are the caps off of?

Not sure on the backspacing of the rims. I'll check next time I have the wheels off. Read end is stock width. The hubcaps I believe are off of a late 60s Camaro. I could be wrong though.

I just looked at the close up of your gauges again. Im going to have to buy a set of these. I have a couple of extra bezels laying around, hopefully one of them is like yours. Man I have to stop looking at threads like yours lol.

They're a little pricey but I love the look of them too. Just trying to keep it a little different

Very nice build! I love the look of the steel wheels and caps, especially the fatties on the back. Which "level" RideTech kit did you use?

Thank you. It's a level 2 kit.

What is the drop equal to, 4/6-ish?

**GAc10boy** · 06-01-2016, 01:59 PM

Really a beautiful truck! Just checked out the entire thread and love how you brought your vision to light. Black steelies/caps, ftw!

aod92 · 06-09-2016, 08:44 AM

Took my truck on its first long cruise since the build. Went on a 60 mile drive and it went off without a hitch. I took it to my buddy's shop who tunes ls cars so he could adjust my fan settings. I also made an appointment to get on his dyno in about 2-3 weeks.

Got the truck pretty much complete. Took it to its first car show today and won first place in my class.

Your dash pad appears to be a sandlewood color. Did you tint it yourself? It looks great!

It's actually a light grey color. I bought it that way

Darn computer color rendering! lol. It's good to know though. If I were to tint a dash pad, that grey would make a good base color to start with.

**GAc10boy** · 06-09-2016, 11:39 AM

That is a beautiful truck! I would drive that truck anywhere. Any day.

jeh · 06-09-2016, 09:18 PM

If you need someone to put some miles on it for you, just let me know

Looks good and glad your first drive went smooth!!!

jlsanborn · 06-09-2016, 09:50 PM

Congrats on the first drive!

Jason7121 · 08-01-2016, 01:42 AM

Truck is awesome great attention to detail. Question for you on the brake lines. Do you have 1 3/16 line coming off porportion valve for front disc then splitting to 2 3/16 lines to each front wheel with 1 1/4 line going to rear?

That's exactly how I'm running the fronts. I ran my line before I bought my master and didn't realize It had two ports for the front. The rear line is also 3/16 line.

C10_ustacould · 08-01-2016, 05:56 AM

I'm curious, how do you like the fuel injected LS with the TH-350 and what rear gear do you have? Also, who built your wheels?

I'm not really a fan of the Th-350 with my 3:73 gears. This winter I'll be installing a 4l60. On the highway running about 65 mph I'm at 3100 rpm. The wheels were bought off of a member on this site. Not sure who built them.

I understand that, how did you connect the kick-down for the transmission?

Never did hook it up. I'll drop it down a gear manually for passing. Another reason I want to go 4l60

Will the swap to a 4L60 require a new harness or are you going to use a stand alone controller?

One of my favorite trucks on the board! Congrats on the win.
