'73 Super Duper Cheyenne project on a roll again

This '73 C10 is a project truck I started awhile ago at Custom Classic Trucks that's going to start showing up in Classic Trucks tech features. Outside of a book I'm writing for Cartech Books most of the work I'm doing these days is writing tech for either for CCT, or CT. Special thanks go to editor, Jim Rizzo at CT, and editor, Ryan Manson at CCT for allowing me to do this.

Right now the '73 is at my good friend Jeff Costa's shop Sonoma County Street Rodz in Petaluma, CA., but we're at the point where I'm going to haul it down to my So Cal home shop where I'll have easy access to shoot (photograph) chopping the top, and the bodywork, and maybe a few other things before I get it back up the coast to Jeff.

My friend Chris Alston and I have been talking about building a radical badass C10 with insane handling and performance for some time. It's starting to take shape. Chris made the then one-off 16-inch Wilwoods for the '73 at his shop Chassisworks in Sacto, CA.

Here's the concept illustration done by Jon Bell, and a shot of the F-44 chassis with KP Components, Alston, and the monster Wilwood 16-inch brakes.
