Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
I decided to make the switch to air suspension... nothing crazy but I did need to notch the frame. The frame was obviously flipped over for convenience. I've been working with Travis at AZ Pro Performance. He is awesome to work with and has helped a ton.

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
The notches are from Dead End Garage. Very stout and they include bag mounts and the panhard bracket.
I replaced the stock shock member with one from CPP. It required a little bit of extra cutting and drilling to make it work. I love hacking up new parts!

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
Well....this control arm is pretty janked I'd say. Also found out the original front crossmember is bent believe it or not, so I'm using the new-to-me one and it's donor LCA. I cleaned/painted hidden areas and bolted in the crossmember for good. Control arms are waiting their turn at powdercoating.
 yes POWDER! The rest of the frame/suspension will get the same treatment. ...anyone want a bent frame? |

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
I repainted the calipers and spindles as well as some new rotors. The front end should be ready for assembly when I get the control arms back. This will likely be hidden with my new wheel choice..... "but no one is going to see it" has never been a valid reason for me to not do something!

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
After looking at my original axle housing, I realized that...guess what? It's bent. At least the mounting flange is bent, so it can probably be fixed. Regardless, I'll be using the other rear end. It seems to be in better shape with no pitting, so it'll look better after PC. It even has a posi with 3.73 gears!!
 Ordered some Moser Axles/seals and a Timken rebuild kit.

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
Scored this nice '68 front clip. Very happy to have original steel!! The core support isn't even rotted out under the battery.... but the fender is of course.

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
Sorry to see the aftermath but glad to see you are getting her back into shape, awesome progress so far
As far as the tool, I do not have a clue but I am sure it will make sense after you tell us

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
David, I just revisited your build thread to show a buddy at work your truck, and saw your situation.
Sorry to hear about the accident, but am glad you are OK. Trucks can be rebuilt. I like the the way you approach your build on the truck. I think I told you before that your build was an inspiration for me to start my build on my 70 short step. I am not street legal yet, but getting close. Here's a quick pic. I'll be sure to check back to see your progress. |

Glad my truck could be an inspiration. That thing is awesome and I see you're in Houston. Maybe we will cross paths someday. I'm considering a white roof/grille this time around but I'll likely keep it as is. Well here you go. I tried to use an open end wrench with a cheater bar and it started to deform the plug...so I thought I would stand a better chance if the cap was completely boxed. I didn't have an 8 pointed socket in the right size. Drilled a hole and filed it into the exact shape... a lot of work for something I'll never use again but it worked perfectly.I also removed the bushings and sleeves from the trailing arms and they are ready for powdercoat. That was a pain. Tomorrow I will remove the yoke and pinion from the housing and it should also be ready for powder. I should have the control arms back this week.

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
I used the blue-tipped axe on my TA bushings. Stinky/messy but easy!
