Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Can't wait to see this one finished! Doing the same with mine! Stock piling parts now!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

I'm in. 405s??? :jdp:

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

I'm gonna have to follow this one! Count me in!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Been a few weeks since an update!

Porterbuilt order shipped today! I will have everything next week. Had to cancel the rear Porterbuilt kit since I am running the 24x15's in the rear I will have to do a custom rear 4 link setup.

Motor is coming along, still a ways to go, but progress! I would like to get the motor finished before digging into the porterbuilt install.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Nice!!! :metal:

I thought the Porterbuilt kit with the inboard bags would facilitate the 15" wide rear??

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Not with the trailing arm setup. I am not sure about the 4 link kit they make...

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

The thing that really brings back the memories for me is that FM radio converter under the dash. I had that exact one and put it in a string of cars I had in the 70's that only came with AM.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

My first post and it will be exciting to watch. Wow how things have changed from when I was on forums a few years ago during college.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

After a long 10 weeks, my Porterbuilt order has arrived! Piles of parts now, just gotta finish my 64 Lincoln Continental and I'll start wrenchin!

Whoa! Killer truck and build plans. I'm in to watch this one.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Looks killer soo far. Please take lots of pictures as they will be very helpful when I do my build. It will be very similar. :))

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Going to very cool josh

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Gonna be so sic!!! Btw porterbuilt is in the process of releasing a kit to fit the 24x15's! Hope they release it soon!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

You guys with the 24x15s are killing me!!!! I want a set bad but doesn't fit the scope of my project...nor my budget.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Good grief! Some beautiful billet. All time favorite wheel.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

I'm on board..
Looking great so far, solid plan.. Wish all my Porterbuilt was here... I'll be a ways behind but this will be great motivation for me..

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

That's a DEEP lip! Love the wheels!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

looks Killer! if you don't mind me asking, how much $ you have into the motor?
and what hp? I'm about to go down the same road..

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Way too much into the motor lol

Doing it all again I would have just bought a brand new crate LS3.

I'm hoping for high 400s in the hp range
