84 C10 Porter built suspension and drop member
« on: October 24, 2015, 01:09:52 PM »
Hi all this is my first post although I joined a while back to get tidbits of info to prep for my project. This is the first time I have ever tried to build a vehicle from the ground up so any wisdom anyone could share with me would be great. I'm going to try to post some pics of where I started to where I am now. I have many questions I need answers to and or advice to point me in the wright direction.

The truck is 84 C10 SWB, I stripped it down to the frame, sandblasted clean, chopped and notched, installed Porterbuilt level 3 front drop member with 1" narrowed arms and went with coilovers. Also did the rear with a PB FAB level 3 trailing arm with watts link setup. I have 383 stoker 510hp and a Monster built 700r4 trans built to match engin specs. Going to run a 24x15 rear wheel out back and 22 in the front. The frame and the majority of the parts have been powder coated red.

 I am having trouble posting pics from iPad any advice?

 Here are the pictures in photobucket for some reason they got out of order even though I put them in the correct order twice.
