Slammed C10 Stepside Suspension Install - 1962 Chevy C10 LS Swap Ep. 3

If you want to help support the media production of this channel to keep us bringing you the process of these builds, check out our merch store at www.salvagetosavage.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This week we're putting some bounce back into the C10 Stepside frame. This stripped down, soon to be LS Swapped C10 is getting a brand new set of Airlift Performance shocks on all four corners. But before we get to bolting in the Builder's Series bags we need to do some fabrication. Dave is chopping and welding up our C10 cab to get rid of all that cancerous rust and Mikey is getting our new Porterbuilt hood hinges installed. Once our new Quick Performance rear ends comes in, we're able to jump back on the chassis to find our perfect ride height. With our rear and and suspension in place, we can slap on our Detroit Steel wheels and give the shocks their first real test!
Make sure to subscribe because next week we're beefing up our 6.2L LS3, fitting our cab and getting our chassis off of the chassis table!

I got to give props to your editor. The audio choices and quality of audio recordings are tops and make watching enjoyable. Thanks Mikey Rollss and crew!

[@SomeBoredGuy69]

I keep praising the workmanship of the team you have assembled. They deserve every bit of praise they get!👍 I also want to praise the amount and quality of the content you keep putting out on this channel. Each video is packed full of progress. Yet, you edit it down to just the relevant clips. This channel continues to set the bar VERY HIGH for other car build channels to aspire to. By far, my favorite car build channel on KZbin. Keep up the good work.👍😁 Since there is so much panel patch work done. Will you be doing a full paint job or will you attempt to replicate the patina?

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you so much for the support! We're going to replicate the patina on this one. The owner wanted to preserve the original color of the truck

[@TrevorAngell]

Thank you guys for keeping it clean. My kiddos like to watch with Dad.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Our pleasure! Thanks for including the family. We're always stoked to hear that!

Glad you liked it!

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

Seeing the body work done THE RIGHT WAY (cut out the rust & replace it with new metal) reminds me of when a buddy of mine & me were restoring his 1971 Mercedes Unimog last year; we rebuilt almost all of the lower metal, it was kind of a mess, worth it though, it looks great now!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

And it won't all crumble apart when you're running down the road!

[@joesilvasr9733]

Mikey, I sub to a bunch of car and truck KZbin channels. You guys are on the TOP of the heap👍

I've got 3 dream vehicles. 62 C10 Stepside, 82 C10 Squarebody, and 65 Mustang Fastback. I've dreamt of a Tesla swap, LS swap, or body swap on all of those. It's like you're going down my checklist of dream vehicles. S2SLA, now this. Next project a 65 Mustang Fastback body swap onto a brand-new Mustang? That would wrap up all my dream vehicles on 1 channel. Love this channel. You guys are great.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We did an EFI conversion on a Big Block 69 fastback with some custom headers a while back! Check that one out, you might like it!

[@Jusdin057]

I would love to see the top of the notch brace exposed in the bed. I love the look of that top piece where the air shock mounts.

We might have to do a thin mesh insert in there so you can get a peek at everything under there!

The whole teams seems to mesh, well done!👍🏼

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thanks!

[@Will_my65gmc]

What was the deciding factor to go with the air ride shocks rather than the bags it was set up for? Also, the upper brackets for the front driver side shock may possibility be in the way of a bracket you may need for a steering shaft support if you end up needing to go with a three piece steering shaft like I did. I'll send you a couple pics on IG for reference. Everything look great! Looking forward to the next episode!

[@bigjoe3639]

Killer work! Just think you shoulda sprayed some weld thru primer on the inside of those patches and all inside to prevent future rust

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We've found that weld through primer is a bit of a headache to work with. What we use (that didn't get featured in this episode) is the rust encapsulator that we use that neutralizes the rust!

[@Siyadlams]

This build is looking good guys. That air suspension is sweet and silent. Just one question, is there a noticeable difference between the metal that’s been put in place of the rusted one and the rest of the car?

[@SalvagetoSavage]

No. It flows pretty well, and it will be even more seamless once there's body filler and paint back on there!

[@lunkydog]

If you've setting the pinion angle at zero, that means you're sure the engine and transmission are going to sit dead flat too. At that point it'll need to be offset either higher, lower, or off center or your U joints won't live.

[@inforolleri4191]

[@GlassWerx]

@@SalvagetoSavage definitely will do.

[@jimboyokel]

If you get a flat tire in the front is the lower shock mount going to hit the ground and cause a loss of vehicle control? I know DJM had an issue with this on their lower control arms back in the day.

[@wkrick]

Why aren't the headers symmetrical from side to side? Is the engine not centered in the chassis?

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Headers generally aren't symmetrical as the drivers side needs clearance for the steering shaft. That difference for us meant that the drivers side clears and the passenger side mount had some overlap

[@launceherron]

Another amazing video

[@Scott_G]

When you guys are pulling all that shit out behind the rust patches, are you spraying anything up in there to clean it out before patching and sealing it back up again? I have no idea how you'd clean that to prevent it from rusting out again down the road.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Yes! We get as much out as possible then spray the rest with a rust converter to prevent the remaining rust from spreading! We'll be touching on it more in next week's episode!

[@Scott_G]

@@SalvagetoSavage Very cool! Thanks for the info!

What do your trailing arm pads from QP measure front and rear bolthole centerline to centerline frome each other? Trying to make sure my 62 measures the same. Thanks in advance.
