Kimble,

Thanks for the complement on the lift. Two people moving one 50 ft. is a lot of work.

mg,

You are welcome, for the information. From my experience, you will enjoy it a lot. Makes so many projects a lot easier.

Thank,
Les

Any updates?

Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed
 

Ray,
Thanks for the request. Not much new to report on the 64’. Do have the 64’ cab on the frame. Will post new photos. My grandson and I are planning to get back on it soon. We have been working on our 66’ C20 Custom Camper, this past few months. Lots of body work on the cab/fenders. Putting 66 cab on frame now for final cab and fenders alignment, to finish body work. Included photo of 66’ cab and finders color cut in.

Update on 64 K10, waiting for paint and body work.

Starting on another 64 to 66 K10 project. It is a 1966 GMC Suburban 4WD.
Taking it apart currently. Needs lots of work, however, some good points for it too.
Not a lot of rust on frame/suspension, and it is very original. Body has typical rust, and maybe more. Mainly concentrated on lower part of body, along with hood and fenders. The new project came from board member “southern parts”. A big thanks for getting me the 1966 GMC suburban K10.

Hey Les, is there any chance i could get you to send me a close up shot of your radiator core support brackets and some actual dimensions for them ?Mine are shot so bad I cant even get any reliable measurements off them.
thanks
Bill
Ps they are the ones in your last pic of the frame and very nice to see your back at it

Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed
 

Looking good Les, and its good you have a helper most kids won't get off there phones. Haven't did much to my tk still need to change the trans. Hot weather and old age don't get along lol! I think my pto is part of my trans noise, thought of removing the winch but i would need some frame horns as they were cut off for the big bumper.

take care Les----------kimble

Hi Kimble,
Good to hear from you, have same issue, still hot and humid here. Waiting for cooler weather to start on 66’ GMC floor rust. Hopefully in a few weeks.
Making some progress of frame/suspension. Working on axles and TC inside in AC too.
You remember this process too, on front/rear spring shackles, bushings and pins. Removing, cleaning, replacing worn out parts. All that done now installing, one rear done. Thanks for all your help in past, along with your very helpful build ( 61K10 build ).

Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed
 

hey les thanks alot for the info and the effort it was very much appreciated. unfortunately the wrong brackets. the info i cant seem to find any where are
the dimensions a for the heavy steel brackets that are the forward most outboard brackets on the frame they are the ones that look kinda like the cab mounts brackets
again i very much appreciate you going to storage for me i feel bad that it was a wasted trip
thanks bill

Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed
 

Bill,
Will retry to get them for you. Are yours 2 or 4WD, they are different on C and K trucks. Assume yours are for K truck.
Should have dusted off the frame.

Les

Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed
 

Bill,

A few more photos, of 1966 K10 core support crossmember frame mounting brackets.
Need to reference 2nd photo for you, will do.
Any other dimensions needed?

Les

Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed
 

Man you are the best thanks for that sorry I didn't see it sooner I'm still at sea and fishing is very slow weather is bad and internet connection is almost non existent .
the only measurement i don't see is the overall height but what you provided should at least get me started on a little "government project" while im out here
thanks alot

Bill

Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed
 

I am going to try these for my 64, I think other than the 4 mounting bolts vs 3 they work.https://www.jegs.com/i/Key+Parts/576...hoCyBsQAvD_BwE

Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed
 

This is a very interesting build. Really enjoy the thoroughness and methodical approach. I'm also interested in your other two builds. Are yoU doing build threads for them?

Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed
 

LT7A,

Thanks for complement, yes will do builds on 66’ GMC 4WD suburban, along with other truck. Not sure which, will be second, possible a 2WD chevy suburban.

Should start the GMC suburban build soon. For me a 4WD build is more involved. On the GMC, currently working/starting on suspension, axles, TC, engine, and body floor pan rust repair. This build will be close to original with a few upgrades. Including original paint and body bumps, etc. Collecting photos currently.
