Christmas Came Early!

[Mieser3]

I took the plunge and purchased the C10 Stage II front and rear kits from Porterbuilt. The UPS man delivered them today and here they are! The quality and craftsmanship of these components are next to none and Nate at Porterbuilt is a GREAT guy to work with! Would highly recommend Porterbuilt to anyone. Thanks again Nate!

Now the fun begins....

nice nice nice!!!!

now post some pics of the truck its goin on

[Rich916]

Wow, Santa likes you!

[Mieser3]

Here's the truck it will be going on. It's a 71 factory air truck that had very little rust. The previous owner shot a coat of primer over the factory paint so it was an UGLY thing when I bought it. I will be putting a 67 front clip on it. Right now it's completely torn apart and I just had the frame blasted. Ready to start working on the suspension. I need to start a build thread I guess....

[67cheby]

wow ...this is going to be sweet , i will stay tuned

[Mieser3]

Thanks 67cheby. I've checked out your build thread more than once in the past. You've got yourself an awesome build going there......I'm definitely envious and it's guys like you that have inspired me to hopefully build something of that caliber.

[67cheby]

good..but just dont take as long as i have, yours looks to be on the overnight delivery train.... prob be done before mine...LOL

[67cheby]

oh and we would like to see a pic or two of the rest of that killer collection in your shop there !!

[Jacfourteen]

Gotta love the santa in the big brown van! Looks like it will be a great build, I'll be watching for sure.

[Mieser3]

LOL. Those cars in the background are my dad's...he stores them in my shop. You can't see them all but they are:

68 Chevelle Malibu - factory 327, 4 speed car
32 Ford Highboy
70 Chevelle SS - 396, factory air car
47 Ford Sedan
60 Corvette

I'll have to get some pictures taken of them and post them for you to see.

My 2 toys are a 70 Z-28/RS and a 56 Chevy sedan that my father actually built for my oldest son (WHO IS 5 YEARS OLD!). The kid doesn't know how fortunate he is just yet....

[67cheby]

HOLY SMOKES.... your dad has a great car collection

[PT'S 70 CST]

Damn I need to go sit on Santa's lap and maybe he will bring the roll around tool chest I have been wanting. Nice stuff.

[n2billet]

I think you will love that Stage II kit.....very well thought out.

[19seventeeCustom]

awesome, I bet the truck is gonna look sweet!!

[Mieser3]

n2billet, the stance of your truck is what sold me on the Stage 2 kit. I LOVE how your truck sits.....very nice ride by the way.

[69CST-V]

I like your start. I'm in for the build. It will be nice having another PB truck in Kansas/Missouri region. Can't wait to see your progress.

[Mieser3]

This will be my first attempt at bagging a vehicle but I'm looking forward to it. Speaking of bags, where's a good place to get some fittings? Right now I just need something in the way of a schrader valve for the front and the back so that I'll be able to air raise and lower the frame until I buy my Accu-Air system.

Great looking project, can't wait to see some progress with the suspension install.
