Re: 67c10 build
 

This is what I have, a lot of the spot welds are already cut. I was thinking I would remove the inner skins at however tall you want it and stuff the two skins in a flat rate postage box. Im guessing about $10 to mail them. Once I get dimensions I can give you a better number. Just thinkin it would be a little easier with the right curve for you to fix yours, and keep some vintage steel in use :flag:

First pic is yours, looks like they cut just under the seatbelt hole? how far above and below that hole do you need?

the awesome wrong seatbelts cost extra :smoke: :lol:

Re: 67c10 build
 

That's awesome I'd appreciate that a ton. If you could give me about an inch above the seatbelt and eight inches below I think that'd be perfect. Let me know what I'd owe you, thanks a ton.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Where did you get all these parts from? Is it a kit? Chasis looks almost as clean as your garage by the way, great job.

Thankyou, it's a raybestos kit I bought from early classics. Every sIngle front end part from control arm shafts to the pitman arm. The garage is rarely that clean lol

Re: 67c10 build
 

you gonna redo the 402?

Re: 67c10 build
 

Yup, she's gonna be a BB swb. Hard to get motivated to pull a motor outside when were having highs in the 30s though

Yup I hear that about the cold I've been out in the garage but my lighting is so dim I have to keep the door open to let more light in.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Nice, I'll be running the same exact tires on mine. Can't wait to see them mounted.

Re: 67c10 build
 

I was wanting the bfgs but EVERYONE was on back order. If you haven't purchased tires yet check out tirecrawler.com Shipped to my door was 702. My local tire store was a little over 1k no mount or balance. I tried lOoking around but could not get the vintecs out of my head

Re: 67c10 build
 

Thanks for the info, I actually ordered mine this past weekend from Treaddepot.com for around the same price. I obviously don't blame you on the Vintecs, I couldn't get them out of my head either. You will probably have yours mounted and balanced before me and I have had my wheels since October :waah:

Re: 67c10 build
 

I think I looked at tred depot also. If it's the same place I'm thinking of about the same price but shipping was a lot for me there. I hope there in by the end of the month

Are you gonna your gas tank under the bed or keep the cab tank?

Re: 67c10 build
 

In cab, wanna keep the body close to original as I can

Re: 67c10 build
 

looking good, great deal on the tires !

Re: 67c10 build
 

Holy smokes you are spending some serious money on your bed, were the old bedsides beyond resonable repair?

Re: 67c10 build
 

You could always do it like N2billet does on his original paint trucks and just have a dummy fill neck on the cab so it looks original but there is actually no tank in the cab

Re: 67c10 build
 

They were both pretty rough. Got decent money for what they were. I actually only have 1300 into a complete bed minus gate and all the wood. The shop I deal with doesn't charge freight as long as you wait till they have a full order. Haven't heard anything bad on repop bedsides so I figured it was my best bet. Everything else is original gm sheetmetal and all repairable.

Re: 67c10 build
 

what is this shop you speak of?

Re: 67c10 build
 

Dreamers rods and pickups in Everett. If freight is charged it's split between everyone that has an order
