[travlinman]

does that c-50 have air brakes? if so id be interested in the gauges...
that truck would look killer on some 22.5 polished alcoa's with low pro tires on it!!!
get some chrome "nut" covers and chrome axle covers and be in business!!

i have thought about it good news my shims are in and i can pick them up saturday and just maybe drive my sub, we snazzie up the grille, it will really look killer when my chrome grille done

Dino,
You couldn't stand to put the gmc logo on the front could you? Chevy only! what's the deal with the shims on the rear end? I just ordered my trailing arms and will be running the whole trailing arm dropmember eventually. So I'm curious how I'll need to properly set it up? Thanks and the billet style grill looks clean!

[wutnxt]

Well....
First, you da man....you have a great vision..and quite the fleet. Some very nice rides there. I just sent like a hour going through all of the pages here and you got some game. I happen to be out of town and am sitting in the great white land of the north in 2 feet of snow at minus 35 for a few more days. But checking those pages out sure has me fired up to work on some stuff when I get back home. But all i can do right now is order more parts......gotta love the internet. Thanks for sharing keep up the good work
