Thank you sir!

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Nice build.
Keep it up.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Thanks!! I'm gonna try my best to have a completed chassis by the end of the year.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Well, got a little bit more done. Been waiting on wheels to show up so not much progress.
Built a drive shaft crossmember since I didn't really like the pb notch.

Gonna start on the accuair install this week hopefully!

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

That crossmember look real good. I need to build one also. What's the wheels specs?

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Ok, that must be the 22x12. Wow that's a lot of lip. Sweet!!

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

wheels are sick!!!!! good job on that crossmember

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Thanks guys! Wheels are a 22x12 and 22x9. 4 inch backspace on the rear and 5.75 on the fronts.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Didn't realize I didn't post these yet. Got the wheels mocked and tore the diff out to be narrowed. Waiting for axles now..also Travis at Pro performance and Boyd welding hooked me up with this tank a few months ago on an Instagram giveaway. Awesome product!!

Hell yeah! Looks sick!! Did u make that rear frame crossmember thats behind the gas tank?

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

thanks man! Nah, it came with the porterbuilt rear kit.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Very nice work. Truck is looking good. When you lay it out on those 22's, how far is the pinch weld off the ground?

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Thank you sir! I haven't actually put it on the ground yet with the wheels on it. On stock wheels, it was around 1.0-1.5 ish

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Got the axles in and the rear diff narrowed. Installed the diff back into the truck tonight and pressing the studs in tomorrow. Then hopefully the bed will go on this week sometime...

Nice looking work on that rear axle! Moving right along.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Thank you sir!! slowly but surely getting there.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Sit's great. Tire sizes?

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Thank you sir! I think i might want the rear to come up another .5-1.00 inch to get a little more rake but overall I think it has a nice stance. I'm running a 305/40/22 and 265/35/22.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Figured it was the 305/40 on the rear. They look good on the 12's.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

I think so as well. They are a little stretched but not terrible. They would be right at home on some 11 inch wheels.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

My thought too. But..... for some reason, not many 22x11's available.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Exactly. I asked intro to build some 11 inch wide rear wheels but they told me they didn't do them. I found that somewhat odd that a custom wheel manufacturer wouldn't build me a "custom" width.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
 

Here's a few pics. Sorry the lights were jacking up during the storm so pics are a little blurry.
