Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Finalll got the Dropmember and KP six-link with watt's link installed in Dino's 78. It's running 20's up front (with a lot more room for a larger wheel/tire combo) and 22's out back. It has a few loose ends to tie up before it's "done".

Second pic is the new ride height.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Should be np to sell it I need to know a price. I bet If you park it down at the shop a few day people would be all over it.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Looks like you'll have to section the plate for a little more drop :lol:

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

looks dam good!!!!!

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Man, that looks awesome!!!

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Nathan, that looks absolutely freakin fantastic. Can you show us some pics of the inner fenders, bed, etc. I would like to know just how much it's cut....;)

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

nice ride

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

I will snap some pics of the engine compartment and bed on Monday. I haven't "trimmed" anything up front... and not sure if I will need to. Obviously the factory inners are in my "junk pile" and I removed the factory A/C box... I figured the tire would be up into the factory box, but looking at it now there might just be the need to mod the blower motor mounting location.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Great lookin truck. 20's almost look small on the front of that thing.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

yeah we took the rear wheels off, and try them on the front....... tuckem easy, but i like the 20 up front they look sick,and i might get the a/c back with less work

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

You dudes with the box style trucks this is the deadly combo , dropmember up front and that killer kp set up out back, cant wait to drive it

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Great lookin truck, down in the weeds!!!

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Sweet looking truck! Another Porterbuilt specialty!

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Here's a few more pics for you "pic hungry guys"!:rolleyes:

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

looks killer. what size notch did you put in the back. we need bed and under hood pics.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Looks good. You need to put a lift kit on the license plate frame.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Here's some pics of the insides for ya!

We did not have to trim any of the fender... the camber is not set yet, but it looks like it will have plenty of room. The battery tra/hold-down will need to be modded... this battery will be relocated. I also tried to get some pics of firewall to tire clearance where the factory A/C box and blower motor go. I am feeling pretty good about stuffing the factory A/C box back in! Looks like we will only have to make some minor changes.

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:


This is the picture that would make anyone want to build one of the 73-87 trucks without a doubt.

Best part, it's still got a stock floor, bolt-on kit, and still gets more lift then the "other" kit on the market.

Nathan


Are the lic. plates in Arizona "larger" then the ones we have in California ?

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1188009438

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think there's going to be a new demand for a lic. plate section kits now.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

nice ....... very nice

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Just take out the numbers it'll have clearence. :)

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Thanks for the pics. It appears that the most cutting is required in the bed. Could that be resolved by raising the bed floor and tubs?

You may already know this, but we used a early 60's blower fan on my 82 Blazer a/c box. It is lower profile, and gave us almost an inch of additional clearence. We did have to section the box to gain the rest of what we needed, but it would clear with a 28" tall tire. Of course that was with a stock crossmember.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

man now i know what my trucks going to look like when i d mine....

i love it, is that 20'' rims
would it sit that low with 22'' rims

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

They mentioned above that the rears are 22" and the fronts are 20" but they did put the rears up front just to check and they did fit fine. Dino just liked the 22/20 combo better!

Great looking truck for a box! :lol: JK

Looks killer maybe Ill finish my projects I have now and get one of those.....

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

thanks

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

With a 2.5" drop spindle and a ART lower Strong Arm you can lay frame with a 22" wheel and tire combo (assuming its between 29" and 30" tall).

If you're a baller slap on a 3" drop spindle and a ART lower Strong Arm and lay out on a twenty-foe (31" diameter tire)!:phat:

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Man this may save my bacon ,thanks:metal:

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Yes, I think the "cutting" in the bed could be eliminated/minimized by raising the bed-floor and the tubs.

Thanks for the heads up on the blower motor... there's still a whole lot I don't know!

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

I remember just seing that very unit laying in the floor of some Blazer ;)

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Really nice truck. I am glad you have a photo of the engine bay; now I know what I need to loose on mine BEFORE I put it back together. Haha.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

really i might just do that, i didnt think i could get to the ground on 24's
