Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

Here is my newest project, a 68 C-10 Fleetside short bed. I bought it from a buddy at work back in July 2012. The truck is getting a complete overhaul and figured I’d start posting some progress. If you have instagram follow me a “adam_aftermathcalifas” I will be updating with pictures more regularly there if interested.

Its looking good . I have a question how much do you have to narrow your rear end to fit those rims .

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10

That frame is out of control! The rear kick ups are too! Nice build.

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

The po must have had such bad body roll with having the two front bags aired together as well as the back two.

Those rear tires show as being discontinued, as far as i can see, i hope you have an alternative tire size you want to go to in the future, because they stopped making that size, and no one else carries anything close to my understanding.

Great looking build!!

Very nice work sir!

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

Super QUALITY build going on here!
VERY nice.
Will you just re-drill the rear axles and brake rotors to 5-lug?
Or is there another option?

Also,... what's up with the blazer in the background?

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

Amazing build!

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

Ok so I have a few set back concerning my motor, supercharger, and transmission combo. With how far back and high the motor sits with the Porterbuilt dropmember I am having terrible clearance issues with the block against the firewall, transmission/transmission tunnel, and the supercharger sitting well above where the hood will allow it. The firewall and transmission hump issues can be resolved with some pretty extensive sheetmetal work I wasn't really planning on doing. As for the supercharge, I gotta decide if I am better off going a different direction with the engine build. Any thoughts? Idea? Suggestions? What are peoples experiences with the porterbuilt dropmember and LS engine clearance with the firewall? any input would be greatly appreciated!:)

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

You need to call Porterbuilt and tell them whats going on I'm sure they can drop the engine down and move it forward an inch with different mounting hardware.
If so you might be able to get away with a standard rise Cowl Induction hood.
You can resell any hardware you change out here on the board, people love porterbuilt stuff, it will sell fast.

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

Usually the engine moves up and forward.
What LS oil pan are you using?
What engine mounts?

I agree.
Call Nate Porter.

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

Give us a buzz and we can help you figure out a solution. 480-297-2621

We can't make the Magna Charger any smaller... but can definitely figure something out to help with your firewall clearance concerns.

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

Need to change the mounts and the pan

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

The mounts are the LS style for the Porterbuilt dropmember I have. What mounts do I need? Also which pan are you referring to?

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

I have a F-body oil pan and Porterbuilts LS style body mounts

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

are the original rims from a impala?

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

I would run the cts-v pan if I were you

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

Although f body should work. Are you off some were on the frame making the body sit lower then it should? If you shorten the mounts the pan may hit. That's were the cts-v will come in handy

Re: Bagged, Bodied, & Blown 68 C10
 

The frame should be good I think it is just the amount we bodydropped it is causing the excess height with the engine and transmission. We can probably raise the mounts a bit but really kinda like where it is now. Can you elaborate on the CTS-V pan in comparison to the F-body? I thought the Vs pan was a bit larger then the F body, I thought the Fbody was the shallowest of the 2. Also lowering the engine mounts is not a option at this point due to the fact that as of now I can run my AC pump in it's stock location. Relocation of the AC pump is not a option right now due to the current pulley system and supercharger, there is not a kit to work with my setup. Nate over at porterbuilt did send me some new motor mounts unweld which I really appreciate. I'll probably us them to move the engine forward as much as I can. I know it's not much but anything helps!

Also, hopefully this helps make some much needed room! Just came in today, thanks for the recommendation superflysteiny! So much easier then having one fabricated from scratch!
