The axles can be found at Summit Racing as well as some of the differential specialty guys like Randy's Ring and Pinion. I believe CPP and ECE have the axles also. Any of the other parts such as bearings, seals, shoes and related hardware can be sources from your local auto parts supplier. If I may make a suggestion.....I would upgrade to the wider shoes as found on the '76(?) and newer C10 12 bolts. You will have to change the backing plate and of course the drums, shoes and internal hardware. If you need to replace the original parts anyway, may as well upgrade while you're at it.

I hope they've improved the fit of these. I purchased a set back in 2000 to use on my 68. The splines would not engage the spider gears. I tried filing them down slightly after discussion w/them w/no success. I ended up shipping the axles back to them w/one of my originals (so they could see the splines weren't messed up). I also taped (yes, slid on & taped in place) one of my spider gears so they could see what I was encountering.

I got the axles back a week or so later..... w/no spider gear. According to them, I didn't send a spider gear (remember, it was taped in place). So, approx 3wks after the original receipt of their axles, I had some that fit better, but now I had to source another spider gear since I had one missing.

I procured another spider gear only to still have issues getting the axles fully seated enough to install the c-clips. It seems the bearing races aren't machined in the exact correct area or the axle lengths are incorrect as there is wear on the differential pin that keeps the axles seated.

This was on a factory 6-lug, 1968 12-bolt housing. Like I said, hopefully things are better.

You're looking at a 1965 Mustang fuel tank AND (the best buy ever) 2010 Mustang Shelby GT 500 take off mufflers. EBAY score - $20.00 a pop!

:chevy:

I just came across the mufflers on ebay myself earlier today. Certainly a great deal. What are your thoughts (since you've seen them in person)? If I got them I would probably need to modify the inlet pipe, in your opinion is that do-able?

Thanks!

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 
Alvin, The inlet could be cut off with no problem and re-fabbed with a straight inlet. Very well built muffler.

Hey I really dig your truck .....and may buy a tire and wheel combo like your using also for my truck .

Alvin 01-18-2011 10:31 PM

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 
Thanks man! I think I'll pick up a pair of the mufflers.

I am really happy with the look of the wheels... wish they offered a different width for the back, but it still works.

This truck you're building is pretty epic! I'm loving all the detail work going into it, keep it up!

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 
Thanks, We built a 67 Buick Wagon a few years ago with 145 powdercoated parts on it. It was a huge success for my job shop. The car was featured in Hot Rod and Car Craft magazine and has received several Good-Guys awards. SOOO we needed a new project !!!

Stay Tuned !!!!!!

What's up with the repop fenders? Were the originals to rough?

Got it all fitted and bolted on the frame. Hopefully this thing is ready to roll soon. Then we'll be powdercoating all the parts we possibly can!
