my 86 c10 swb build thread (56k, no way)

[edflores]

so i decided i would start a build thread. it wont be an eventful one so don't get your hopes up. but i wanted to hear everyones opinions, advise, critisism


that is the truck. the front is bagged using the ***************** upper plates and modded lower control arms with slam he-7 bags.
i made these so far



the first pic is how is of my crossmember that i made to mount my wishbone to. the second is my notches. i made them 11 inches tall but i dont think i made them big enough. nothing is welded so dont tell me they are crooked. lol.

at first i was going to do a wishbone like this. but i dont think i can get that under the bed floor.

so i was thinking about curving the bars like an s ____/- < like that. sorry thats such a bad visualization. but i think it will let me clear my bed floor.
i want to do a bag on bar setup using my stock leaf spring mount. i will get a pic of that when i get home.

my short term plans:
-3 link/notch the back
-add lower cups cause my bags rub
-drop spindles
-replumb the front so i can hop way higher. i have dual port bags but the second port is plugged
-add tanks under my cab like the kp truck



long term plans:
-EDC
-porterbuilt dropmember in the front.
-22/24 combo (maybe 24's all aound)
-stock floor b/d to the rocker.
-art arms or custom built ones
-hit switches, get bi#@hes

my inspiration


this will be a slow build because i go to school full time mon-thursday and i work every friday saturday and sunday. i'm trying to get someone to show me how to weld so i can really get this build going. any input is welcome
