Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

More done this weekend! I've been reading Robnolimit's "Make it handle" thread. I'm a week in and only about half way through. That is one of the best threads I've read here yet. If you haven't DO IT. Lot's of awesome suspension info there. Having gotten half way through, we've learned a bunch and will incorporate some of that. We pulled the trailing arms back off and stitch welded them up. The boy is welding pretty awesome, so I put one of those pics up. We cut the trailing arm mounts off the cross-member and will flip them over to help correct pinion angle. This will also increase anti-squat. I think I'm going to start with a 5" spring out back, then build a lowering block for around another inch, but "wedge" it as needed to perfect that pinion angle. We will be doing a c-notch here soon and fabbing our own shock re-locate stuff as well as panhard rod mounts. I'm still hung between the 1" or 2" spring for the front (3-1/2" or 4-1/2" total).
I also got that hydro-boost installed. Thanks to Captain fab for the information he's put up and also to Oneoffstroker and his hyrdro-boost install thread. It was easy and looks clean!
I've also been cleaning and sanding that firewall and cowl. That part sucks!
