1968 c30 "Papa Smurf" prerunner build. links, beams, and turbo
- Thread starter Mr.Clean
- Start date
I think i know the reason why but not something i really want to get into. I'll just say the experience working with him hasnt been great. Which is very unfortunate.
That is not what I was expecting to hear, that's a huge bummer because trucks like this do not come along that often.. sorry dude. Let's hope he gets it done so you can move on from that.
Neal is supposed to be mounting the front bumps and also building shock tabs for the front so all I have to do is bolt in coils and bypasses. As far as springs and tuning that will be up to me. I'm gonna be going with Ads shocks I think so I'll be working with them as well as far as the tuning goes.
Maybe we can have an ads guy out for dunefest next year as there will be atleast 2 guys running their stuff. Would be huge for them to break into the dune market out here.
Little shot of beams done. Steering is supposed to be done this week and I am supposed to pick up my truck Friday.
The patina is way cool
Similar shot as above but cooler. Headed after work tomorrow to go pick it up. Steering is all done. Can't wait to get this thing back in my shop and crankin on it. Stopped by and checked it out yesterday for the first time in 4 months. And beefy is an understatment. This beam kit is Gnarles Barkley. 22"s of usable travel. 10" bump 12" droop.
Giggity!
Those are some gewd numbers, when's the first flight?
Loving it!!!
I haven't seen good pictures of the ttb hangers. Did he beef the frame at all? I know from experience that the frame is not enough.
The one I did, I boxed the frame and tied the 2 hangers together with a cross member.
