Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Got a little more completed on the truck. Porterbuilt V6 stage 3 drop member is in, upper hats and control arms.

Slowly but surely...

Any advice on whether I should powdercoat the lower arms before pressing in the lower ball joints?

I would recommend it I did on mine both upper and lowers so I didn't have to dissemble them again after mock up I wrapped them up to protect them. Keep up the progress it's looking good.

Dig the truck man! It was good to meet you, you've got to bring that by the shop once its rolling.

I'm was also considering those Hill's inner fenders, curious to see them installed.

Thanks Nick!

Good to meet you too, thanks for showing me the GMC! I'll be sure to come by once I'm rolling again. I'll be bringing a ton of parts across the street to the Powder coat shop here soon, and the whole chassis and I'll stop by if I see your truck out front.
