Default My 1965 Custom Cab C10 with a 5.3/4l60 Swap

Thought I would share my truck with you guys. Pretty fun build and awesome cruising truck.

1965 C10, 2006 5.3/4l60 Swap, LSx Unlimited Harness, Aluminum Radiator, Electric Fan, Dakota Digital Dash, Front Disc Brake Conversion, Sway Bar, Lowered, 18x11 Rear on a 295 BFG Drag Radial, 18x9 Front on 285's.

Cruises so nice and drivers like a new Silverado. 3.08 rear gears for easy 80mph cruising.

Thats a great looking truck, i have always loved those wheels. I noticed in your signature you have a single turbo mustang and a twin turbo c1500, what car setup do you prefer for the street? Im sure the twins spool better correct? Im jealous of your builds!

Really like the stance! This is the same stance I'm going for. How low did you go front and back?

Thanks man! The 89 is just plain nasty, twins spool instantly BUT the single is no joke either. For the street I prefer twins, just a bit more fun imo.
