Small Update: Got the shock relocation brackets mounted and the shocks put on. I can't get over how well all of Porterbuilt's parts fit, installing everything so far has been great. Definitely worth every penny!
Rear axle is still at the shop getting shortened. Should be back in the next week or so. |

Re: 68 C10 Project FROSTBYTE Extreme Dropmember
Looks good. What kind of spindles do you have? Did you have to drill them out like the instructions say to for the rack and pinion?

I like the MMW arms. I had some on a bodied S10 blazer and they were very nice and heavy duty. Something different. Definately some heavy SOB's though

Re: 68 C10 Project FROSTBYTE Extreme Dropmember
So I have some good and bad news, I'll start with the bad. I bought a set of jeep rims and tires really cheap yesterday, went to mount them and they don't fit. They hit the control arms because of offset issues. So I'm going to have to sell them.
Now for the good news! My rear axle was finished yesterday and was $200 cheaper than I was quoted. Score! But I'm headed off on a much needed vacation for a week so there won't be any progress for a bit. I hope to have some updates by the end of the month though! Posted via Mobile Device |

Well, this isn't quite truck related, but it will effect my truck funds. My wife's new car finally showed up this week, and we went and picked it up today. Man, is it nice! It's the new 2014 Mercedes CLA 250, we pre-ordered it back in May and they started showing up here in the US this week so we're one of the first people in the area to get one…which is pretty cool to know. It's quite an upgrade for us, so we're pretty happy with it!
So unfortunately I wasn't able to work on the truck much today, just started to prep a little bit for the rear suspension. I will hopefully be able to work on it tomorrow and make a little progress. |

So another small update. Still stalled on getting the rear suspension mocked up. I've got to get the rear axle put back together before I can move forward on the rear suspension. Anyway, the small update is that I built my temporary tires to roll my frame around on. I think they turned out pretty nice and should do the trick for now to help mock everything up. Thoughts?

Re: 68 C10 Project FROSTBYTE Extreme Dropmember
Nice progress, keep hammering away you'll get there

Re: 68 C10 Project FROSTBYTE Extreme Dropmember
Nice wheels :lol: I saw that on musclecar on Spike. It definitely works until you get the rollers you want.

Re: 68 C10 Project FROSTBYTE Extreme Dropmember
I'm thinking some chrome spray paint will set those wheels off nicely.
