Slow moving, Mild Prerunner build
Im starting to sell off my parts off my circuit car, and thought id start SLOWLY building my daily driver 85 C10 LWB into a mild prerunner.(Till i can afford a full on prerunner of course..)
First thing first, here are the specs on the truck. 305, th700r4, 10 bolt, 3:08 gears, 27inch tires,(LOL!) Ive allready: -Removed the front sway bar -Removed the tailgate -Installed 2 RJS 3" wide 4 point latch&Link harnesses -Removed spare tire carrier (hung way to low, kept kitting it on everything!) Current parts list Suspension: -Custom Tubular Upper A-arms -Heavy duty ball joints -Energy Suspension Control arm bushing kit -Energy Suspension Leaf spring bushing kit -Fabtech 3in Lift Springs -1 Inch Custom coil spring spacer -QA1 Adjustable Heavy Duty Ball Joints -Moog Heavy Duty Tie Rod Ends -1.5" Wheel spacers(front only to correct narrowing from LCA angle) -Custom extended Shock towers in the front -Bilstien 5125 Reservoir shocks in the front -Bilstien 5100 shocks in the rear -Custom LCA braces Chassis -Fabtech tire carrier -2 5 gallon G.I. spec fuel cans, and mounting -In cab intercom w/ frogman headsets -EMPI salt and pepper Suspension seats -B&M Floor shifter -Custom Tube bumpers front (w/ skidplate) and rear -Light rack -Hanneman Fiberglass fenders & bedsides -12 Bolt Rear end -Detriot Locker -ALOT of Frame bracing Wheels and tires -5 32" Pro Comp Mud terrains, 11.5" wide -15x8 Aluminum Wheels I actually take this thing out, as it is. and run it pretty hard believe it or not. Holds its own with mid travel rangers and its bone stock with tiny tires. Just a warning, this is going to be a slow build process, dont expect any kinda fast posts on this. Im on a pretty low income budjet, but ive been saving money for a while to get rolling on this. Kinda thought i would just throw a build thread on here to let guys know that theres some people out there trying to build "prerunner-esque" c10's. Which in my research, is pretty rare. Everyone and there mother has a slammed, bagged, etc. C10 out there... not my thing. Heres some pictures of how she sits today! Just stock for now, hopefully in 2 weeks ill start ordering the stuff to do my suspension! Like i said, dont expect any major updates for around 2 weeks.
