PCHRODS Build : Project C10R

[PCHRODS]

Sorry. ..havent had time to get on here. Yes we decided to use a motor we had for the black and copper truck. Its at the machine shop getting set up for all the bits we had for the C10R motor. Should have it back this week or early next. Ill post some pics once we get it assembled.

Here are some updated photos of where we are on the truck. The Splitter pics are from a couple weeks ago, the chassis pics are current of where we are. It's been a while since i've posted anything. So I have to get caught up. Hope you guys like it.

I might have missed it somewhere, but looks like the factory trailing arm crossmember. Did you just flip the trailing arm brackets upside down? Whose arms are you using? Looks awesome, one of my favorite trucks

[PCHRODS]

we take a Early Classic Enterprises Trailing arm and modify it to use swivel ball end. Which equals no bind, allowing the suspension to move freely as it's designed to do. The mounting brackets are sourced out of a Hotchkis TVS kit, part of their "Anti Hop" portion of their kit. Let's us move the arm up or down, changing the center of gravity of truck as well as improving the traction aspect of things at the same time. Yes that is a factory trailing arm crossmember. I didn't see the need to change it so we welded it in place cut the bottom part that hangs way down off and reinforced it. So now the lowest point of the truck is the front crossmember under the engine.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, I like to take pieces from various kits that I know work well, and create my own set up. That way I get the best of all worlds in the suspension universe.

Good news, got the engine back from the Machine Shop, now, just waiting on bearings and rings and we can get it put together over the weekend. Got it painted today, Looks *****in, I will post some pics this weekend once I get it together. When I say "get it together" I mean the motor, not me personally. Although that is debatable according to my wife......

I'm waiting...

Thats one baddass truck you have. I wanted to try that look but I have a longbed and dont think its going to look good as an autocross truck.

Normally I wouldn't like a vehicle like this but, you seem to have taken a no-stone-unturned approach and nothing feels like a "bolt on". Beautiful design and interesting conception. Not that my opinion matters in the least!

[PCHRODS]

Thanks, I really appreciate your $.02 That's kind of where we were going with it. If it's there it has to work, If it's not there..it wasn't needed or at least yet anyways.

It's been a busy couple weeks. We put the cab back on this weekend. Built the motor 2 weeks ago. Starting setting everything back together for the last time. The autometer pic is not "in the truck" it is a generic photo, but we are doing this gauge panel in the C10R. Actually just got that today. So I've got some wiring to do.

[nlped]

That's a SEXY beast for sure!!!

[jlaird]

This thing kicks butt. Very nice work. What's going on with the interior?

[Rod Run]

Just keeps looking better and better

[SierraMtns]

Updates?

Let me round up some pictures for you. To give you a mental Idea....carbon fiber dash Autometer/stack dash, wilwood pedals, Cobra Suzuka Pro Carbon / Kevlar Seats in Black, Shroth Racing Belts 6pt, few more carbon fiber touches. Basically the whole interior is either black or Carbon. But I'll be a nice guy and get some photos up here. We have just been slammed trying to get this puppy done, it's over at magnaflow for a couple days getting the exhaust done, then we are track testing on Monday if all goes well. But I have a couple days to recover so I will get some pics up here. I think I said that 3 times.......that is just me reminding me.

[PCHRODS]

Here's a couple pics....

[PCHRODS]

These parts are available as well, just like the ones we are using on the C10R.

[widewhite70]

Excellent work! I love this truck!

[nlped]

Those carbon fibre pieces are AWESOME!!! Are you marketing them, if not, who's pieces are they?

[no1udknow]

Can you tell me what headlights those are?

[BrianG]

...w...o...w...

some how I feel so inferior, when I see what you guys can do.

[leftybass209]

The prices for the cowl and headlight bezels are really good! Truck is coming along nicely.
