So wow its been a while since I last updated. The build has slowed considerably due to lack of funds and time. So here's what's been done in the last year:
- Shortened the frame to a short bed
- Sand blasted and painted the frame
- Install all of the suspension
- Added front and rear sway bars
- Mounted the brakes
- Installed the steering (using a later model steering box to reduce the turns)
- Started running air lines and mocking up the air control system
Here's a pic of the current state.
Next up:
- Wheels and tires (hopefully they come in this weekend)
Last weekend I did get to attend the C10s in the park Meet in Waxahachie, TX which was a fantastic show. Got some great ideas and confirmation that I'm headed in the right direction. The turn out was amazing, around 400 C10s in one place. Made me glad that I still have the truck running and driving while I build the new chassis.
