The front bar is much bigger than the factory bar.  8)

Wow what a difference!

I got a 3/4 ton sway bar for my '80 C10, should stay flat with that stout of a bar.

I feel like all the thousands of little things I have done to this truck finally starting to ad up.  8)

Now that it's running good and everything seems cool, I'm getting ready to pull the top end apart and install a bigger cam and do some head work.  ;D

Man, my son and I went out to the Auto Fair weekend before last just to look at hot rods and stuff.
Little did I know that the Coker Tire guy would be out there.
I normally don't pay attention to the big vendors but, I happen to know that Coker Tire and WheelVintques are owned by the same company.
I've been looking for a pair of 15"x10" truck rally wheels for a long time. So, I go up and ask the guy if he can get some.
He starts out by saying "Oh yeah, we haven't been able to get those for a while". Then he says "well, I'm showing a few in stock."
So, like a true sucker I had to buy two 15"x10" rallys and two 295/50/r15's. They showed up yesterday.
And like a true idiot I also bought two 245/60/r15's for the front.
So that means I have new tires all around and new rims in the back.
It was a lot of money but I'm happy.  ;D

Before long, you'll have a completely new truck bolted to the horn!!    8)  ;)  ;D

It's great fun to follow your progress!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Did anyone on here go to the C10 Revival this past weekend?
Some people are saying there were upwards of 2000 chevy trucks there.
I was #1100 coming through the gate.
There were a lot of killer trucks out there.  8)

I've been told a million times that "it would look killer with some rims on it".
Nah, I like the old Rally's.  8)
