Full Tubed Chassis build
 

Well I finally picked up a c-10 truck! It's a 66 long bed, but I'm going to convert it to a short bed. I'm pretty much leaving the truck the way it is but its going to be laying on 22"s with a full tubed chassis.

Im in, you bro's truck wad rad as *ell , cant wait to see this one evolve.

Re: My first c-10
 

Nice C10 brother...love it and I have always loved that gold and white combination. I am going to pay attention to your build as I am going to be building a 1965 C10 BBW Short Fleetside with V8, auto, and factory A/C. But I am always looking for ideas and I can't wait to see what transpires with your build.

Re: My first c-10
 

Yeah, I also have a v8 with factory ac too.. I think i'm going to go with one piece side windows also.

Re: My first c-10
 

Here is a little sneak peek where I'm at on the chassis....

Re: My first c-10
 

Here and signed in. i will be taking notes. :metal:

Re: My first c-10
 

Looking very good. I've been wanting to build a frame like that for my truck, but just no time. Did you use your 3D CAD program to layout your bends, or did you perhaps use Bend Tech Pro?

Re: My first c-10
 

Yeah I used the cad to lay out where the bends go but i had to still figure out the twist which wasn't that big of a deal..

Re: My first c-10
 

Looking good :thumbs:

Is the frame the same width from front to back? What size tube are you using?

Re: My first c-10
 

sweet frame!

Re: My first c-10
 

Dude...
Wow...
I was cutting angle iron today with a sawsall and cutting discs on my peanut grinder and thinking I was the schiznitz.
I am in awe and totally humility of what you are doing here!

I showed my wife your frame and pointed out the table you made to block it.

I cannot wait to see how this all turns out for you!

Re: My first c-10
 

The frame tapers in at the front just like the stock frame. The tubing is 1.5x.120DOM

Here is a pic of the frame twist

Re: My first c-10
 

:jdp::jdp: DUUDE!! NOT SURPRISED YOUR SKILLS ARE KILLER. NICE JOB

Re: My first c-10
 

Thanks for the info and the additional pic. I couldn't really see the front taper in the other pics.

I really like where you're going with this build. Please keep the updates and pics coming. :)

Re: My first c-10
 

Sweet! I love it complete build in a cookie cutter garage! I feel your pain!

Re: My first c-10
 

Holy smokes! That is way cool on your frame.

Are you building your A-arms also?

Re: My first c-10
 

Yeah, I'm going to build everything..

Re: My first c-10
 

Yeah, definitely sucks.. not enough room, always hitting something in the garage with long pieces of tubing.

Re: My first c-10
 

Oh Man! One sick ride once it's done. You are amazing in designing this from the beginning, you are very talented. I wish I had your gift! Please keep us posted. What size engine is that?

Re: My first c-10
 

Re: My first c-10
 

OMG that is soo awsome man!!!!! thats the coolest looking frame i think i have ever seen!!!

Re: My first c-10
 

A 454... Thanks by the way

Re: My first c-10
 

Looking good!

What tube bender are you using? I have a Pro Tools 105.

Re: My first c-10
 

Model 3, just converted it to hydraulic before I started this frame works really good..

Re: My first c-10
