77 CC squarebody sfbd build thread..it rolls and runs

yep, i cupped the lower arms to run a 22 and get that extra drop. im still not sure if i am going to plate the lower arms just yet..i may still have enough room to fit the bag. or i could take the drop spindles off and use the stock ones???????

i could clear all this up if i had one of my 215-60-16's mounted on a rim... im going to get 2 of them mounted today ...lol

i see those 19.5" wheels on ebay sometimes.(and they look good) but they don't make a low enough profile tire for them.
if i had a set of 19.5's, i would be tempted to stretch a 19" low pro tire on it....

thats sweet looking

well... i just got the 3rd degree from the used tire shop guy...lmao... he told me he couldn't put a 16" 215-60-16 tire on my 16 inch dually rim...

i did end up talking him into it after i explained my truck was bagged and body dropped (and i needed some tires on the wheels to roll it around...)

i was also told, as soon as i put them on my truck they would pop when i set the trucks weight down on them....well i put them on and they didn't explode like he said..lmao

i am loosing 2 1/2 inches of lift if i set the rear bag mounts up for 22's.
fixin to go back out and see how the front end is going to like the 16's with smaller tires...(and take some pics)

you could run stock spindles for sure...i look forward to see what u come up with.

so i am not gonna lie this is my favorote build on DS. i have read a few pages at a time here and there and i finally sat down(over two nights.... with the GF bitchin at me) and read the WHOLE thread. i lurk and learn like a mofo. i love ur willingness to pick up and buy anything cause its cheap. def a great way of thinking outside the box and making a great budget build. i dont have a dually yet but me and two other buddies are all about to buy duals and start building them. i just started bagging my 66 c10 short wide ur a real inspiration thx for posting everything up so meticulously figured id post my c-10 so u all can see but thanks i admire ur work. plz bring the updates!!

figured id throw one up of my DD mines the bagged yota, (not trying to whore your thread just some extra eye candy to look at


thanks man we need updates!!! u scraping yet

trucks looking good man...sparkys truck is badass. we all love it. killer thread he has.

def not enough updates. i noticed u posted in my build thread on c10forum. it took me a bit to realize same person but thanks. cant wait to see ur truck done... or atleast some updates

thanks for all the kind words guys... it really means alot to me..keeps me going ...




lol@ your g-friend yelling at you...
nice lookin trucks you got... that yota is dumped!

update:
i got the fluidyne 25,000 lbs GVW Rating transmission cooler mounted to the radiator.( i need 3 more feet of 3/8's rubber hose to be finished)



all the wires for the cooling fans and the derale thermostat /relay are wired up and everything works .all connections were made with solder and shrink tubing . no butt connectors or scotch locks..all i lack is running 1 more wire to a 12v switched ignition source..


the engine harness is almost hooked up.starter is done... i replaced the 3/8's rubber fuel line on top of the engine.

this is just about where the lower bag mount is going to set. i cut off the stock leaf spring perches and stock shock mounts.



im going to tell ya, craigslist has saved me a ton of money...
i bought a good front bumper for 25 bux...

the 2 top tires were bought tonight for 20.00.
so far i've spent 50.00 for six 60 series tires. all 6 have at least 50% tread or more left... (2 tires are mounted on the back)


60 series tires look so tiny...lol
