Re: 1968 C10 Project "The Twin"
With figuring out what changes I wanted to already make to the truck, I found a good deal on a rebuilt 12 bolt of out a 69 C10 that 3:42 gears in it to swap out my stock rear with 3:73's. While out back swapped out the coils for 4" dropped coils, added 2" lowering blocks as well. At this point also realized the truck had been lowered with a ECE kit at some point as it had their relocated shock mount brackets on the frame. Also added a adjustable pan hard bar, cut the bump stops down to finish off the rear. Up front a friend gave me a power brake booster and master cylinder off a parts truck and all the brackets to keep it looking like a stock truck, and then ordered a CPP disc brake kit with 2.5 dropped spindles. Then took 2" lowering springs and cut half a coil off, cut the bump stops down for a little more travel and also installed a hotchkiss front sway bar. To cap off the changes, pulled the white letters off and swapped for fresh redline tires, re painted the rally wheels and got new trim rings and a nice set of original derby caps.
