Looks like you have everything figured out and your progressing. I would be were you are now if we didn't have this stupid thing called snow.

Haha well I have a pretty good idea. Yea the weather's been kinda lame down here lately and not good for painting but things are warming up and clearing up.

David do you still have your original 67 rear in the truck. How is your track width between the front and the rear tires with the same backspacing? Do the fronts stick out.

Yep its the original. I thought the front looked wider so i measured and it's about 3 inches wider overall in the front. They won't stick outside of the fenders but I just need to see how it is once it's all together to figure out if I want to do anything about it. Does anyone know if the front was wider stock? I converted the front from drums to disc as a part of the ECE 4/6 drop and there was no mention of the spindles bringing them out.

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
 
Yeah once you convert from drum to disc i'm pretty sure the disc brakes push the wheels out about 1.5" on each side. So your 3" is about right. I have a 68 i converted to disc brakes and will have the same thing. Truck looks great David keep up the progress.

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
 
Nahh I was going to pull the truck out today to lift the front of the cab a little bit so that primer and paint will be much easier to spray and everything will be easier to mask off but it's been in the 20s and 30s all day and its gonna stay like this for the next few days!!! I think it's even getting into the teens tonight! its insane
