Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver

Its probably going to be a while for updates.. I'm buying a house right now. I move in March 16th. It has an attached 1 car garage and a separate large two car shop that is currently a recording studio, so I'm going to have to convert it back. Actually, I don't have anything to do tonight, so I think I'm going to put the new a-arms on and see where the chassis is going to lay out..

After I get moved, be prepared for updates on both of these trucks! ha

Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver

ha. Thanks man! I wish I would have had a game plan and stuck with it! I see your from PA. I grew up in central PA, all my family is still there. My little brother went to Slippery Rock, really close to you. I still consider PA my home, which is strange cause I've been out here almost 9 years. I was amazed when I came out west and saw all these old cars and trucks everywhere! When I was 17, in 1999, I had my first square. It was a 1987 and had already needed cab corners! People out here almost throw cabs away if they need that much work. haha.

Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver

Finally got the front end together with my new porterbuilt arms! It gave me the extra 1.5"! I'm psyched!

Did a quick measurement from the ground to the grille trim to compare to the gold truck.

Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver

Finally got moved in to my house I just bought! It's been a tough 3 years trying to get back on my feet since my divorce. I am now debt free (other than the house) and ready for some crazy projects! I now have an attached 1 car garage and a small 20x24 shop. Time to get some shiz done..

I haven't really been able to put in work on it until the past couple weeks and I've been hitting it pretty hard. I've been trying to knock out all of the cheap/free stuff such as labor and fabricating my own things before I actually have to put real money into it. Haha

Cool little shop! You should have plenty of room for activities! Haha
