Re: 71 C10 LB: Code Name Sloth

Dang, it’s been a LONG time since I have really been able to work on this thing! Drove it looking like a cat in heat the last two years without finishing the drop kit by installing the rear 5” drop springs, CPP adjustable track bar and shock relocation kit. Finally said the hell with it and went outside and just did the work this last week. That and because they were jackhammering out part of the slab inside the house to fix a broken pipe in the slab I figured it was as good of a reason to be forced into the work. All in all, about 4 hours in the street with some jackstands, a Jack and patience! I had been spraying the bolts for about 3 months once or twice a week so I didn’t have any stuck or broken fasteners. A bit of a challenge with the bed still on and trying not to get run over! But it is done and looks much better. The ride is pretty good, just need to trim the rear bulb stops and get an alignment this week.
