New to the board
Just wanted to say hey
I am working on a father/son project with my boy (he's only 9 now). We are going to be working on a 79 GMC C10. Powerplant wil be a 4bolt 327 w/h T400, I am wanting to do a cantilever/4link setup on the rear and tubular a-arms up front. I look forward to all of your help on this project. I know I will need it. Especially with things like rear end gears, brake conversions, and things of that nature! |

Welcome!! As stated above, we love pix, so post up what you have to start with. Either way, hope you plan to stay for a while, cause this is just one big addiction.

Re: New to the board
Been to a Red Robin, but I would put Fudruckers ahead of the ones I have been to.
If you are lowering and are going for a good look and a quality company that has about everything look at "CPP" Classic Performance Products. They did an article in "TRUCKIN" magazine (Volume 32) on an older truck BUT the vehicles throughout that era are all basically the same. It is the outfit that I am considering. I also support the use of "BellTech" products. |

Re: New to the board
like piecesparts said as far as an upgrade they are all the same basically but some of are truck came factory with a 1 in rotor and others came with a 1.25 in rotor (diffrent hub rotor and spindal) but if you are going to lower it anyway then buy the drop spindals for the 1.25 rotor and then buy upgrade it that way. others out there please add or correct any info that i missed or twisted in refrince to what im talking about (are the callipers the same fron 1 in to 1.25 in?)
