Re: 71 c10, upgrades/rebuild-my first truck

on the 22nd/23rd i'll be taking my chevy for it's for long trip with the new transmission, rearend, suspension, and wheel/tires. kind of excited and kind of nervous to see how well it really does on the road. i have noticed that i either need to remove or trim the front bump stops a good bit, i hit a good sized pothole and could REALLLLY feel it through the whole truck

Re: 71 c10, upgrades/rebuild-my first truck

some pics from my trip. i LOVE the t5 with 3:73s its so nice actually being able to do highway speeds. the suspension rides great with the exception that when i hit big bumps my front tires rub the inner fenders a bit. overall extremely happy
