    Wanna slam that 63-98 C10/C1500? Lets talk about it!

    Well obviously there is more of a difference in the cheap spindles versus name brand, in these 1 ton 92-00 ones anyhow. Not seen such a drastic difference in C10/C1500 spindles though.

    Depends on the build an the look we are after. It will basically look stock if you paint it.

    Wanna slam that 63-98 C10/C1500? Lets talk about it!

    I've honestly never tried but I'm about to if I can find someone with a big press lol. At this point they are useless to me and anyone else so why not. Guys I appreciate all the suggestions, but this isn't a normal slight oversized an some sandpaper will fix it. I've lowered a bunch of trucks...

    Wanna slam that 63-98 C10/C1500? Lets talk about it!

    It's the inner bearing, it has to be packed, in the rotor with the seal. Plus heating only gives you a few thousands of clearance. I need over half a millimeter or 2/10s of an inch. I tried sanding on it, made nearly no difference after 45 mins. I have spoken to 1 machine shop an the only way...

    Wanna slam that 63-98 C10/C1500? Lets talk about it!

    In the GMT 400 series 1/2 ton an "LD" 3/4 ton (aka 6 lug 2wd) use the same spindle. The 8 lugs (real 3/4 an 1 ton) use the same spindle also. The only thing that takes a bigger wheel bearing is a 3500HD, which has an ID of 42.8mm. My outer bearing fits perfectly they just didn't finish machining...

    Stock spindle measurements: Spindles for the 1 tons are not as common an nearly everyone is currently out of stock so I'm having trouble locating a replacement set as well. The big name ones are all showing mid Jan delivery dates an even the cheap ones on eBay are early Feb. Again just...

    Wanna slam that 63-98 C10/C1500? Lets talk about it!

    OK folks I need to add a disclaimer here regarding spindles. I still stand by my statements that they are all pretty much the same an get them from whoever has the best price. However.... When they come in, check them out very well. I bought a set off ebay on a closeout sale for my 99...

    Front Brake hose stamped nut

    If you have your old one still take it to the hardware store an you can get a regular nut to replace it. I've done it in the past but can't recall the thread size.

    C10 IFS system?

    I have no experience with coil over setups so I can't really help on that. All the stuff I've done has been stock(ish) drops an bagged.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I did a few without the outline I think. I can't remember exactly. At one point shaggy wanted me to handle the subscription member stuff but it was turning into way more than I had time to handle.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I did do them for a short while. I just got way too busy to keep them up. I still have the designs an machine but the software is out of date now an I don't really want to renew it lol.

    Retrofitting a 79-87 bed on a 73

    I had an 85 bed on my 78 for a while. It has a 75 bed on it now. The tailgate will work but you'll have to use everything associated with it on the new bed. You'll also have to cut the notches in the bed for the guide tabs. I have a nice oe 77-80 gate that's been on both beds now. Fuel door...

    74 c10 5/7 Drop-Will It Rub??

    You don't do anything to the inner fender, you roll the lip on the fender like where the trim attaches.

    74 c10 5/7 Drop-Will It Rub??

    Not necessarily, people run that size just not as frequently as the 245/40. Drive it an see how it does, if you can live with it the rubbing on the inner fender won't hurt anything.

    74 c10 5/7 Drop-Will It Rub??

    A 255/40 is a bit taller than the 245/40 that most people run on that drop an it occasionally rubs on larger dips. Yours will rub more frequently with the taller tire....

    Mangled Bolt Top Shock Mount?

    Some lower end shocks and all factory shocks come with hardware like that. As squaredeal91 mentioned put vice grips on the outer washer an loosen the nut. Some wd40 or similar will help if you spray the nut an let it soak. When they install that hardware on that they rivit or swedge the end of...
