Rear discs are a must regardless though Sent from my SM-G900V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I changed my mind on that. I don't think the brackets fit the "truck" pattern like I thought... I'm going for this set of brackets to fit the D052...

Would have prefer 5 lug, but it beats the hell out of the 10 bolt I have with the tattered spiders and bent looking tube.. Sent from my SM-G900V...
[IMG] Knocking off old mounts and cleaning up things for mock up. Seriously considering the GSI setup. A few bucks cheaper than the comp and...
Big score from a local who even delivered while I had a trailer full of 3/4 ton parts for scrap. One hunj for a 12 bolt from a 67 that burned...

Hey thanks. I got the neighborhoods attention for sure on this one. I had 2 people stop by to see what I was doing including a c10 enthusiast who...
Got out and did some chassis work this month. I wanted to try my hand at shortening my truck to a short bed. Might as well since I'm changing the...
That's exactly right. It was used to stretch the length of the mount all the way over back to the frame for the 350 application. Sent from my...
Thanks. That was some work getting it all the way down single handed. I made really good use of the picker and engineered it into a cab hoist with...
Got the rest of the suspension and rear end out and up on CL. I managed to pretty much get it all apart this week and now the work can start....
I did. The cowls look surprisingly clean inside. The rust came from the rocker weeps being clogged under the weather stripping and water...
[IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG] so it's just about stripped down. I got the bed dismantled and stowed away. I had to cut nearly every bolt for the cross...
Got the cab stripped of everything. It's way more roached out than I thought. It's going to need a fair amount of sheet metal work. I'm going to...
Worked this week on the teardown and sort out. Heavy labor, but I got almost all of it done. Tore the rest of the replacement front end apart and...
Thanks 48. I have been searching for a set of these brackets for the 8.5" that I'm cleaning up. I plan on keeping the 2 link. My rig welder lives...
I really needed to pull the bed to do the rear end swap and suspension work and I figured a day spent taking it off would save days of crawling...
Got back from the rig yesterday. Got back to the tear apart today. I had the spare c10 front end to get blown apart to rebuild as a temporary...
Thanks. This is the front end I will disassemble and rebuild for use until I save enough for the PB dropmember. It has manual steering box but it...
I got a chance to inspect that plate and it looks like the motor mount is mismatched and wouldn't reach the chassis from the xmember. Looks like...
That plate is a bit concerning and if I remember correctly, that tall bolt nearly made a hole in the mid tube header that was installed prior....
