Features The Official 60-66 C-10 Chevy Truck Picture Thread

how do you go about getting power steering & disc brakes for these trucks..may be picking up a '63 this weekend..wondering what exactly I need & a rough price range because both of those are #1 on my list

 

sold my 65 this morning. gonna miss her.

 

must have been an offer you "couldn't refuse"..
there are still more out there..

=====================================

 

id say paint it after you do the bodywork youll need to do after you raise the bags and roll the F*** over the hideous billet barge parked in the spot next to you thats hogging pic space - but after 2nd look youd probably need to change your forum name to EVOWRECKER - just sayin cuz you DID ask the question........

 

1/2 ton between 73 and 87 is a popular way

 

hahahaha thats funny! Evowrecker.... I like it!

 

Does anyone know the rough number of short fleetside pickups that were built pre-64 as opposed to 64-66? I've been thinking about it and I always seem to see more of 64/65/66 pickups over the earlier (60/61/62/63) ones with short fleet boxes.

 

If you put power steering on you really need a backing plate for the gearbox. If you don't for frame will crack. Most suspention places like Cpp or Classic will have them. Like others have said. Pull the front suspention off a square body C10. Craddle and all.

 

A little progress on my 64, I'm making my long bed into a short bed right now. Depending on how the money situation goes there is a lot I want to do but it all depends on the money situation. Right now, I'm focusing on fixing the rust and making the bed shorter.
Here is the frame where I laid out the cut's

Welded her back up!


Crappy bed...


The fun part!



Fun stuff

Hopefully this ok to put in this thread, if not I can move it.

 

I dig it man, good work taking another schlong bed and making it a shorty. Kudos.

 

He said "schlong bed". Huhhuh

 

Here is my recently acquired pickup. I am in love with it...

 

Thanks guys. I'm trying to decide if I should bag it. Part of me wants to and another part doesn't... I think the look good both ways but I've never had anything with bags so it might be kind of fun.

 

It's been a long time since I heard that. I still love it. Shlong bed.
I've wanted that pinstriped on my tailgate ever since I saw this.

 

Do it jason!

Looks good JSHAW.

 

Yep, nice one JSHAW.

I should get off my lazy *ss and take progress pics of mine. Almost ready for color on the outside.

 

JSHAW ur truck looks real good what kind of front suspension do you have?

 

Dropmember front.
Custom rear suspension with stock trailing arms
No up/down ALWAYS this low.

 

Jshaw I think I'm going to sleep with a picture of your truck under my pillow.... Maybe I'll wake up and mine will be that nice Wish mine would sit that low! I have the ECE 4/6 kit and it's just not low enough. did you fab the front cross member or buy it somewhere? UPDATE: Got the rear panhard bar mounted and the brake lines ran and mounted. Still a little spongy but working on it. HEI dist., and new carb, wires, plugs, fuel filter etc. still runs rough i think the poor girl is just plain wore out.... Also whats up with my wheel offeset?! front vs. back.. just realized how dumb it looks at that angle



This thing is just beggin for a once over and a respray.... Anybody got a good driver door????

Today was 32 degrees and rainy. Instead of installing the A Arms, customcory decided to do some quick and dirty rust repair in the 63 floors.

 

nice repairs!

 

Nice, I am doing my floor pans this week also. Mine are much worse than that, hopefully they turn out ok. I cheated though, I bought replacement pans from LMC.

 

We getting ready for The Lone Star Round Up...

 

I just installed some of those pans on my '61 Suburban. Turned out pretty well.

It's SUCH a difference to have an actual floor under your feet. Totally different driving experience.
Really looking forward to the next steps!
