Re: 73 C10 "Airport HOG"

Re: 73 C10 "Airport HOG"

I also bought the mothers power ball so it should make it a little easier to finish!

Re: 73 C10 "Airport HOG"

Re: 73 C10 "Airport HOG"

Your truck is coming along great!!!! Keep it up :) LOVE the slots!!!! Don't get rid of them. Here is mine with 8 lug slots http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ckshots007.jpg

Re: 73 C10 "Airport HOG"

The slots are making a comeback! A lot of guys on here are running them.

Re: 73 C10 "Airport HOG"

thats a nice truck, you have done good! my daughter's 77 c-10 was a navy flightline truck it even had the checkers painted on the roof. it looked just like your's when we bought it . keep up the good work . on my 74 i cut 1 1/2 coils off the front spring's and it came down 4 1/2" , if i was doing it again i wouldn't go more than 1 coil , 1 1/4 maybe. on the rear i used 4" shackles and moved the front spring hangers up on the frame 3 1/2 " and it sits about a inch higher in the back so now i am taking the thick helper spring out , that should set it fairly level. i hope.

Re: 73 C10 "Airport HOG"
