Disc spindles really make the stance wider. This pic is with the back wheels (17x9.5, 5.5bs), on it, but I will go with a narrower front wheel.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

The stance looks to be about what I'm looking for. A little high, but hopefully it will settle some.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

I think it's perfect..............hey I'm still gonna stop by and visit with you at Pates.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

I got some work done this week. To start off, I took the front cap back off so that I could finish up a few things before the final assembly. I finished up the brake lines and now have brakes again since swapping to disc on the front. Then I dissasembled and changed the color of my dash to match the seats, swapped out the column and steering wheel, and just got a few minor things cleaned up and finished. I tried to install my windshield, but my help cracked it for me. Oh well, now I'll just get the glass company to come out and put a new one in. Then I tried to put in my rear glass, but my rubber seal was split. Hopefully it will start coming together soon.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Looks great Wynne.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

I just saw this and your truck looks great! I'm re-doing mine also but with a red/white combo. What color of white do you have? I know there is several shades of white and I can't decide what would look the best. Any recomendations? Thanks

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Looks great...not sure how I've missed this thread but I just read through it. Great job it's really coming together....from your other truck's build thread I heard there might be some more progress on this??? :lol:

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Which drop spindles did you end up going with? Trying to figure out if I need to do the modular CPP ones to pull the front wheels in...

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

IIDY???....lol

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Sorry it took me so long, I kept forgetting to look at the paint code. It's code 521 pure linen white. It's supposed to be the same as original. I think the bright white looks good against orange or red.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

I'm making a little bit of progress, but I don't have any pics yet. I've got several things that I'm trying to finish, but I'm waiting for a few parts. I've got about half of the trim on, trying to put my headers and stainless exhaust on, installed my shoulder belts and am/fm today, and I still have some painting to do. I'm trying to get it done by the end of September so I can take it to Cruisin the coast.:metal:

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

I can't remember the brand, sorry, but they are 2.5" drop spindles made for mid 80's trucks.(1" rotor) I haven't heard about the modular spindles. I went with a 8" wide front wheel with a 5" backspace and they fit great, but my rear wheels are 9.5's with a 5.25 backspace, and the front track is still a little wider than the rear.
I should have some update pics next week.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

Wow she looks great...

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
 

The final push is on to get it done by October. I've been working on it for the last week and made some progress, but still have a lot to finish. I got most of the trim on, and I must say that I am impressed with this trim. I got it from Kingsparts (Goodmark), a few years ago. I also got the guts and glass in the driver's door. I had some bad spots in the paint on the driver side fender and the passenger door, so I decided to repaint them before I put the trim on them. I also got my headers and air cleaner on (now I need to find some nice valve covers), and I got my radio in an working along with a few other things here & there. Next is wiring up the LED tail lights.
