Re: Project "Ghost" - 1972 C10 Pro-touring

Hey all,

Minor update, but no video this time. Got the wheels in, and tires mounted! I ended up going with 20x11" front, 20x12 rear, with 315/35R20 on all 4 corners. 315 was about the widest I could find that still had a bigger sidewall profile. I also wanted to run a square setup, and 315 seems about the max front width.

As it is I get rubbing at full turn on the LCA's shock mount. That will go away when I swap to new front suspension though. I'm considering Ridetechs strong-arms with Shockwaves at the moment.

Drives and brakes very nice so far. Going through the bedding process, which requires 4-5 days of just regular driving before baking in the rotors, then pads. I need to adjust my brake light switch though, as it requires much less travel to stop, so my brake lights aren't even engaging at the moment.

At some point I'm also going to shift my brake pedal back so it's even with the gas. I may wait until I get a plasma table down the road, then I'll cut one out in the shape I want.

Here are some photos:
