A Quick Introduction
Hey folks, just wanted to check in to let you guys know that I'll be here on the forums quite often to post updates and let you guys know what we are doing in all things C-10!
A bit about myself: At Hotchkis I wear more hats that I care to count, but I test drive, instruct, prototype/R&D, Test Car building/maintenance, do the road shows and events as well as monitor several forums as a "Tech Guy". As some of you may know we brought to market a full kit for the 63-72 C-10 trucks. I have to say, after we developed this kit from the ground up, these trucks are unbelievable. The orange C-10 we built in house is an absolute machine and can knock out almost a 1.0G SUSTAINED on the skid pad. Unreal! The owner has a Z06 and had to strap a blower on it just to keep up with the C-10's lap times at Street of Willow. Coupled with our new shock program, we've got a really exciting package to make a C-10 into not only a really good cruiser, but and absolute beast at the track. I look forward to keeping up with you guys and following the projects and progress! |

Re: A Quick Introduction
Thanks for the warm welcome! I am out at the Scottsdale Good Guys event supports a couple of our customers for the Autocross event, so if my replies are a bit delayed, I apologize.

Here is a link to the instructions for the standard rear sway bar. If you look on our site, you can download instructions in full color for all of our products. http://www.hotchkis.net/_uploaded_files/22108.pdf |
