that is one sweet truck! :metal::metal::metal:

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

The exhaust looks great! I do have a couple questions. I can't really figure out how its mounted from the axle back. It looks like it's under the rear axle but also mounted to the frame near the rear bumper. Or am I seeing things? Can you explain how the exhaust is going to move when you air up the suspension, or put it on a lift (suspension droop)?

Thanks man. The pictures show the suspension at full lift, so the axle won't need to drop any further. If I do ever need to drop it out further, the whole exhaust system is flanged in sections and can be removed. You can see in the pics just before the axles the flanges. I could pull the rear sections off if needed.

Cool, thanks for making that clear. I really like how the tips come out under the back of the bedside.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

No problem. Ya I wanted it to be clean and just peek out a bit. Plus didn't want to just dump it under the truck.

Anyone know if this is how the booster is supposed to mount?

You can get rid of that bracket and make a flat one that will move the booster back to the firewall I made mine I can send you a pic of the template or there are ones that you can buy

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

Please send me the template! Glad there are options, this bracket is huge! Random.co@gmail.com

How much did you need to trim the threaded shaft that connects to the brake pedal?

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

I didn't have to but I have a 5 speed and it moved the clutch pedal up to match the brake pedal so you may have to cut it down to where you like it. What brakes do you have if there big and you talk to wilwood you can get a master cylinder that you dont need power brakes for

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

This one is on my blazer so it not very clean but it shows how much it can be moved backAttachment 1473774

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

This is the template you will have to make the metal one is a stock off a one ton Chevy so you have to make the plate to off set to the c10 you can see the tab on the stock one I just put a weld on it and filed it tell a had the tab.. They sell billet ones my friend has bough two on pro touring Attachment 1473780. In the pic the bottom is the top.. Sorry I should have turned it over...

I don't think they sell only the bracket here, but just to give you an idea. www.hyrdratech.com

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

I have one of the hydratech units. It has a billet mount plate you can sort of see in the pic ajgriffin posted. Also, the hydro boost booster is mounted 180 degrees opposite of what you have yours at now.

I have pics of my install starting on page 4 in my build thread, and pics with my wilwood master/prop valve setup on page 21, if you're interested.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

Theres not a problem with mine being mounted that far out right? The kit I bought is specifically for the 67-72 trucks.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

Wow, that is looking better by the day. I would be proud to do that kinda work to my rig.

Your truck is turning out to be Da Bomb!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

Haven't had an update in a little while so figured I'd add one!

Started rewiring tbe whole truck using an EZ Wiring 21 circuit kit.

Wired the Dakota Digital VHX gauges control box and fitted the gauges into the original bezel.

Vintage air is installed.

Kept tbe smooth firewall look

Hidden stereo that looks like a stock radio but is totally modern with am/fm, aux and ipod hookups, preamp 4 channel and amplifier outputs

Started bending hardlines for the AccuAir air ride

The shop that is going to do my custom brake and fuel lines is moving locations, hopefully I can get the truck in there in the new year.

After that it's pretty much ready to rock!

Coming together very nicely!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

Josh, what did you do for bracing from the bottom of the bedside back to the bottom of the bed floor since you raised it? In front and behind the wheel opening. Sorry if I missed it

Thanks, Wade

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

Very nice! Keep up the good work

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

I used the original support rods, cut the ends off and made new, longer ones with steel rod. Bolted them to the factory spots on the fenders and attached the other ends to tbe frame. I'll take some pictures today.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

I apologize if I missed it, but what drive system did you use on the engine? Alternator, PS, AC, ETC?? Looks great man!! I love this truck

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
