Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)

Well that was the 292 L6 that was in it. I wanted to keep that thing but gas mialage and lack of parts made me rethink my decision. I had a 64 C-10 before I joined the USAF 5 years ago but never got to do what I wanted to do to it so now was the time. I decided to go with the stock front springs, 2 1/2'' drop spindles up front and 4'' drop springs in the rear. Also at this time I decided to do disk brakes and all new brake lines. Steel braided from the master cylinder and from the upper control arm to the caliper. I had to extend the rod from the booster to the pedal by about 2 or so inches. I went down to the local Albuquerque metal shop and had them make me a $10 par that had the right size holes. (A piece of 1/4 inch flat metal with 2 holes) I used the upper and lower control arms and calipers off of an 85 C-10. New bushings all round and rebuilt calipers from NAPA. (My NAPA guys know me WAY too well now, we joke it's sponsored by them)
