Howdy what year was the square body front suspension from? Also where did you get the new parts from. I have 68 C10 that I’d like to get updated brakes and suspension. Thank you.
I don't actually know the year of the donor truck, I just bought it off a guy with a 67-72 who planned the same mods but ended up going a different route. I think pretty much all squarebody stuff will work in one way or another. Good luck with your truck!
Beautiful REAL Truck Blake! She harkens back to days before plastic, fiberglass, ecm's, sensors, man buns and political correctness. I'll be looking for a 67-72 myself soon. Too old to wrench on em anymore, just gonna buy it turn key. Good luck to you!
Thank you! Ive had a few of these now, 2 have needed quite a bit of work but one was more turn-key and it was a blast to cruise. Super fun trucks, I love em
Pretty typical from what I remember. We've done it a little higher than this, and also slightly lower. Lot of bumping into rocks either way. Kayaks do best
I bought a ‘68 C-10 5 lug. I’m in Mansfield TX. The build starts this winter. It does not have a motor or transmission so it’ll be a frame off restoration.
“The trout man” Wading in jeans and running shoes says it all. Abusing these trout, holding them up by the line and hook in the mouth? Then jamming your thumb into their mouth holding them up like some kinda trophy bass? Wtf are you doing?? Please stay out of our streams and creeks. 😡
Greetings, it is a beautiful pickup. I have a 67 here in Argentina. Here there is a 6-cylinder engine. There is no v8. I have had that pickup since 67 forma parte de mi vida la diferencia que hay con su pais es que aqui para reparar una pickup cueata muchisimo todo es muy caro los repuestos pero me encanto como quedo simple y bonita
Im thinking of hiking the CDT and bringing a truck/motorcycle to 'leapfrog' (drive, walk to other vehicle) My question is, i would like to get small moped (ct110) for ease of use, Im happy taking side roads with it, but am wondering how often I have to drive on freeways...and if its safe to take on a fwy...any advice?
i love the truck! did you use just standard c20 replacement springs or the heavy duty ones? also do you remember the offset of your wheels front and back?
Thanks! I used C10 springs, C20's would've been pretty stiff. The offset of those Wheel Vintiques is close to 0, I can't remember off the top of my head though, sorry
This is a very well done video and makes me want to tackle this ride more than ever! Is it mostly gravel road other than where it got a bit muddy/wet further north? Any tips? Could it be easily done on a BMW f800gs or better on a dual sport dirt bike ?
That was awesome! Just a group of friends riding what they have and the way they want too! I have a 16 AT DCT and absolutely love it. What tires were you running on your AT? Would you recommend them or something different?
Good times for sure. I had the Shinko 705's (so did my buddy on the nc700) and they did really well. I'd prefer something more aggressive for a BDR like the Motoz tractionator adventure or the new Tusk 2Track, but I had to compromise for a lot of road miles when I put those Shinkos on
Great video. Where did you get the map that you used and where is the closed crossing at all the other videos I see the end on a blacktop road and at an open crossing. If I ride it I would like to stay on the dirt as much as possible. Thanks
Not sure what closed crossing you're talking about, but I definitely aimed to be on dirt as much as possible. I got the maps from the amazing community over on ADVrider
