    Man! These comments are pretty derogatory. It’s just a how to show. Take it and run with it or leave it alone. I watch them to see the methods and thought process behind their ideas. Then if any are relevant to my current build, well I use them, if not just put it in the ole memory bank for later. Keep building guys.

      @robertemmons2260 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually, they did use rear leaf springs on some of the C10s. It's a factory upgrade. I don't have the code in front of me, but the label is on my glove box lid of my '68 C10 long bed. Its called the HD Rear Leaf suspension.
      EDIT;
      04G50GA is the option code for HD leaf. I had taken a pic of my tag after work.

  • @morgansword
    @morgansword 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Personally the four link is better than the swing arm system they came with and of course the stabilizer bar for side to side control at that point. The truck looked nice coming in to the shop which proves you can polish a turd. That truck has the feel of Earl Sheye restoration. Never good as the build doubles in price. I think the style truck rear end was a five year only but am sure I am wrong on the years as the front didn't have the torsion bar suspension which was a short life span.All the usable bagged parts are good for swap meets but the bad worn ones should go straight to garbage. Someone will want the old 350 engine as it seemed to hold up the chevy name. That cab needs a lot of help for it to be right. I figure that is why this will be either two, three, or more episodes... marking how much to milk it for. I enjoy these builds too cause it gets junk off the road
