Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10
 

You have drop spindles on it at all?? What are the plans for the rear?? Truck looks good man going to have to cruise up to fresno sometime and check it out

Re: My 68 c10
 

no drop spindles bro im getting some right when im done with my rear setup
my plans for the rear is the super notch and run the trailing arms for now and save more up to buy my wish bone setup.
but yeah im gonna do my setup myself. i work at an exushuast shop welding exhuast all day and im trustin my self and my welds to do it all my self.
And yeah im taking my truck to the Freaks of Nature show in august here in fresno. underconstruction.

Re: My 68 c10
 

looks awesome man! so just cups/bags?

Re: My 68 c10
 

yeah just bags and plates. no drop spindles

Re: My 68 c10
 

what is the date on that show man. I want to do my bags soon but never really messed with the as far as wiring and routing. I need some guidance on what to buy, I want them to be slow a quite, Thinking on just doing the fronts first on my truck. Let me know heres what i believe i need. Upper plates and lower cups, bags, fittings, lines, compressor, about a 5 gallon tank, and valves but dont know which ones fill me in on your set up and costs of it if you dont mind.

Re: My 68 c10
 

honestly if you want to come down to fresno one weekend i can do your fronts thier super simple.
i got a simple setup i spent probably 200 on my front setup with just the bags and cups plates and lines fitting etc. but i am runnin a t too a bike fitting for now i got danz vavles i need to put in but i want to get parkers they are really great.

Re: My 68 c10
 

your running what kind of fitting and since you dont have valves are you still running the compressor..

Re: My 68 c10
 

well right now i mounted my compressor so i can hook them up when i need too.
the fitting i got from avs which is right around the corner from my dad.
i got the 90 degree swivel push pull connectors on my bags and once everything like frame mods are done i will purchase the rest of my lines so i can run my compressor tank and valves

Re: My 68 c10
 

How much more can you go down in the front before the control arms are on the ground are your cups cut

Re: My 68 c10
 

oh so if you where to drive the truck you wouldn't be able to dump it out and raise it up as you please because everything is not hooked up

Re: My 68 c10
 

i would say im a good inch and a half awayfrom the ground from my control arms
and thats with out my drop spindles so once i put my drop spindles on my control arms so lay on the ground especially since im going with smaller tires
yeah right now its all just through a Schneider valve. its not really a problem bkuz the only time i drive my truck is to move it around my dads shop.

Re: My 68 c10
 

Oh ok, that would be a big problem for me. Was looking on a few sites last night seen a few 5 gallon tanks and a 9 gallon one that looked nice, I dont understand why some have larger holes then others and how many i actually need.

Re: My 68 c10
 

nice work

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10
 

A big c notch or just a bolt in?? Finally got me a job so will be doing rear disc brakes on my truck soon.

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10
 

Damn that means a hole in the bed is coming soon, Im just going to weld a pipe in my frame and when it hit it hits.

Re: My 68 c10
 

Hey, I love the way the truck is coming along!! Looks great. I have a quick question. What kind of lowering set up did you use on the truck? I have a stock 72 LWB and I want the ride height to look just like yours. Can you tell me what you did to achieve that look? Also, where did you get your 700r4? I picked up a used one that was rebuilt and I have had nothing but problems with it. I paid 750 for it. I am wishing I saved some more and purchased a brand new one. Can you tell me where you picked up yours? thanks a ton.. keep up the good work. Like you I started working on old trucks with my dad, 46 chevy truck, now I am into one of my own. Still learning too...

Brian

Re: My 68 c10
 

for that height i believe i cut my orignal coils a one and an half turn and the rear two inch blocks with 3 inch lowering springs i believe.
but thanks alot for the kind comments
also about my 700r4 i took it out of a 93 camero. i got the tranny for free as long as i pulled it out it was mine.

Re: My 68 c10
 

Today i took crooked to the frame shop. Crooked is no longer crooked but it will always be called crooked.
and i pulled out a 350 for crooked 4 bolt center. i am saving up this week and next weeks pay so i can get my engine rebuilt. and this weekend i can finally probably start workin with my notches

Re: My 68 c10
