My new Daily

 

Well i did a little work this week, some long evenings and a disc swap/airbags is 90% done, got one more fitting to pick up for the brakes tomorrow and attatching all the lines to the frame, align it, yadda yadda, i'll get some better pics when its on level ground, the front sits waaaay low, control arms hit the ground, the back still needs a notch, i want to keep the bedfloor stock (not really though) time for some paint and call it done, get onto the Model A !

 

man these trucks laid out looks awesome imo

 

Heres a better pic on level ground, its low...

 

Here's my 66. Built the mild 355 sbc and installed a 5 speed. Soon to do a frame swap for a 72 GMC chassis to get discs up front, better suspension all the way around and 5 lug pattern. She's gonna be dropped 4 in front and 3 in back. After that, finish off the bodywork then dove gray with black and red pinstripe and red interior.

 

here are a couple of mine:

 

Heres a pic of my buddys 66 his name on here is OHR281. This is pretty much his shop truck ... His bagged and body dropped impala wagon is reaaaaaal Nice though... were heading to the Good Guys show near Fort Worth this evening.

 

can someone give me some details about the wheels/caps on this one? i saw another truck with these wheels/caps in all chrome & i think they'd be the bee's knees on my chrysler.

 

thats a great looking setup

 

So y'all bringin the ratty ole shop truck or the long roof?

I'm building a 64 Shortwide and a 64 'burb for my shop truck.

I'll look fer ya friday at GG.

 

He's taking the long roof up there ... got lowest car at the show with it last year there.

 

Damn!!! that 66 is bad ass! i got a piece of junk like that in my garage!
you wanna buy it techy?

 

My former shop truck
Nasty big block/auto, whiny geardrive, Firebird stub, 61 hood, 62 dump truck grille, 1132 louvers
Last I heard it crossed the border into Canada--I still miss it .....but ya can't keep 'em all!

 

Had to bring this thread up from the past... just bought a 65 fleetside and need some more inspiration for my new daily driver!

 

UGH this thread is makin me sad!! i almost got my dad's 65 c10 stepside for FREE! with a running 6 and EVERYTHING! oh,all it needed was some body filling (mostly in the bed) and some new brakelines and tires,but i had NO $$ or time OR space for it!! he ended up gettin it hauled off before it went under and i vowed if i ever come up on one again to SNATCH it up real quick and make a cool kustom out of it!i LOVE those lines!oh,and MUGSY, where'd you get that grill??
creepy

 

Really Sorry for posting this here, I'll put something in the for sale forum, but I have a 62 C-10 longbed fleetside, running and driving, 350/350 B&M style shifter, thinking of parting out, unless someone wants it... in OKC. trim still there, take 700 for the whole deal, new starter, HEI dizzy...Gimme a PM of what you need. I'll post details on the for sale forum if any interest.

 

not a c series but i think its a cool truck just startin on it... 406 sbc th350, np208 86 blazer running gear...

 

Some killer trucks in this thread
Bttt for anyone with more

 

more please?

 

hey, lets see some pics of the subframe job!
i got a 62 that i need to do something with...

 

Put it on a 73-81 chassis.
Rear Cab mounts and front frame horns are different.
Advantage...Disc brakes and rubber bushed control arms (Read that...replaceable with Poly and way cheaper than replacing the shafts.).

 

I still want this truck! Bill

 

naw, i'd lose the rear suspension then.....how big of a PIA is just swapping out the front suspension with a 63-85 type crossmember?
notice that i'm aware of the torsion bars on mine...

 

I've heard that it's a simple matter of 6 bolts to swap it out!
I've got a '62 Suburban...it's horrendously expensive to rebuild the front end on them, mainly because the two lower ball joints are upwards of $130 EACH. I found some on ebay and paid $85 a pair plus shipping.
I really like the ride of the torsion bar front suspension--finding those ball joints at a reasonable price lets me keep it. I was real close to making the swap.

Yup, just change the crossmember.
Cut the part of the frame where the steering box goes if you want the later P/S set up. they make a new tie-rod sleeve to use the later outers with the early inners.

Brad, if you haven't trashed the old lower balljoints, bring one to the swap.
I'd love to see what might come close.

 

stevie g, will it drop it any doing that?
