64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Whats up guys and gals.

So I figured Id start a thread to document the changes I have made to the 64 C10 I picked up a while ago.

Ill condense the story here, but this is one of my all time favorite trucks and this on in particular means a fair amount to me.
The story starts when I was about 13 and my dad owned a 64 LWB step side 4x4 that is one of the vehicles I really learned how to wrench on. I also learned how to drive in that old beast.
We had swapped out all the original stuff for 1978 3/4 ton running gear and then unfortunately life threw him a curve ball and the truck sat (nearly complete) for many years. I always wanted it, even in its condition. When I graduated HS my dad signed the title over to me... I joined the Navy, and we left it on a friends property in Wa. state where the truck sits to this day as far as I know. That was roughly 18 years ago. I now reside in Va.

Needless to say the hours spent late into the night trying to get that truck in shape with my dad had a lot of sentimental value.

Fast forward to about a year ago. A very dear friend of mine (practically a father figure to me) happened across a 64 LWB Fleet side 2 wheel drive that he wanted to build for his daughter on a 76 4x4 frame. He is an older gentleman and his health made him prioritize a few things.

Knowing I wanted the truck he sold it to me for what he had in it at $2k.

Between my involvement with my dad and these trucks, then from my good friend Joker.... I had to have this truck and even Joker knows already... that I will not be getting rid of this thing any time soon! Joker calls it the Heirloom already. Haaha

A few pictures of what I bought.

I just had to have Joker sign the inside of the glovebox! This will always stay here!

Here is the truck as I bought it. He sold the Long Fleetside bed in the first week he owned it because he had a SWB Stepside bed for it.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-C...0140822_164109

The owner prior to him was at one point getting the truck back into shape for his sign shop, but it appears that it was on a fairly tight budget based on some corners that were cut. Not much prep went into the paint portion. there are multiple places it is bubbling, runs on the dash etc.. but over all it doesn't look too terrible.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-L...0140822_164345

The sign shop owner had a 350 put in the truck by a shop I am familiar with. It appears to be an 80's 350. Its nothing special, but it runs very strong.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-J...0140822_164306

This is what I bought, and Ill post again with the plans for truck, then on to the work I have done so far.

Build plans
 

So I bought the truck knowing that I planned to make a "hotrod" kinda truck with maybe the occasional touch of "kustom" here and there. This will be my daily driver, and around here you catch a lot of looks when you roll something like this on the daily. Virginia Beach is a relatively young city and fairly wealthy, so the cars on the streets are typically newer. I live where the elevation is flat and there are nothing but half way decent streets, so lowering it was not only a preference, but not going to be an issue. (aside from maybe the occasional flood) Hahah

So here are the plans and then Ill detail the parts I am using as well.

*Static drop and keep it realistic.
*Has to have a little bit of "rake" to keep the hotrod look and feel.
*Disc brakes
*5 speed
*shorten to be a Short Wheelbase

So with those basics I started shopping around and as all of us... I am on a budget. I didn't wanna skimp too terribly because I plan to keep the truck indefinitely, and again, its my daily driver.

So first things first.... I had to do a tear down and fortunately the bed (which can be a *****) was pretty well already off since I couldnt help but drive it for a few days before tear down! Hahah

Frame marked out to make her a SWB

No turning back now!!!!!
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-M...0140922_091913

Shortened 12"
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-V...0140922_122410

A few details for those that are going to do this:
The forward most bed mount that gets removed shares a rivet with the cross member that the trailing arms connect to. I cut the head off the rivet to remove the bed mount because after you have shortened the frame 12" the forward bed mount is no longer needed, and it would also land under the cab now. So OFF it goes!
There are multiple ways to deal with it after that, but I chose to basically "plug weld" a head back onto the rivet.
See pics
You can of course knock the rivet out and bolt it, or if you are swapping the cross member for an after market piece, you will just be removing them anyhow.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-y...0140921_113055

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-2...0140922_085342

Carrying on with the frame modifications I found I had to deal with the cross member that houses all the e-brake stuff.
Once I put the 5 spd in, I found that it rested on the e-brake stuff. I remedied this by notching the cross member and dropping it roughly 5/8".
I also decided to make this cross member a "bolt in" pc because it will make dropping the transmission far easier in the future.
Because this cross member is not a huge player in the structure of the frame, only providing a bit of support to the frame rails, and then just a mounting point for the e-brake stuff, removing the area I did, and bolting it in, shouldn't cause any serious issues structurally.
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-m...0140929_175926

I had 50 years of grease and Princess Anne Co. dirt to clean off. I wasnt even sure what I was looking at here other than e brake parts.
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-U...0140921_180236

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-B...0140921_141931

Other frame modifications I made are a "C-notch" for the cross member to accept the single pc drive shaft I am using.

The drive shaft is from an 86 SWB S10 and was nearly a drop in situation. I was a little bummed to find I only had to shorten the drive shaft 1-1/4".

But because the drive shaft is a 4" dia, and I have lowered the truck, the drive shaft would possibly hit the top of the oval cut out that the original carrier bearing mounts to.

I dont have pictures of this as I just finished it after dark last night.

I think that sums up the frame mods for now.

Removed 12"
modified e-brake cross member to drop it 5/8" to clear trans
modified Trailing arm cross member to allow large dia, single pc drive shaft.

T5 5 Speed swap. This was cake!
 

So, when I bought the truck Joker told me "you can have one of them 5 speeds as well"
He had two, one of which I actually gave him a few years ago. I had done my research and found that there was a "better" overdrive ratio for the taller gears I had in the rear.
Fortunately the one I had given him, was the one with the OD gears I wanted.

Looking at all the swaps out there, I had come across many ways to do it. Some WAY better than others, and ultimately I landed on Hot Rod Works site.
Link:http://www.hotrodworks.com/catalog/i...1983-cars.html

This is something I will advertise for them for a long damn time! It was an excellent product!
The instructions come with the applications you can find the clutch sets from as well.
This was literally a bolt together swap. The one modification you have to make is to cut the tube that fits over the input shaft. The dimensions are in the instructions as well.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/--...0140916_142932

You can see the cut retainer "tube" in this picture (near the splines)
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-W...0140923_182921

All bolted in with the 1986 Astro van clutch set.
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-z...0140925_192716

Important info regarding the clutch sets.

The Astro van has the largest diameter of the 3 applications you can get a clutch set from.
the three being:
Camaro
S10
Astrovan

All will work, but because the flywheel has so much surface are, I figured why not try to get the largest clutch as well. It is a truck I plan to USE after all!

The Camaro and S10 have clutches in the 9" range and the Astro is like 11-3/4" I think. Which is much better considering the original clutch is like 12" or 13".

The Astro Van throw out bearing went right in place and the clutch fork fit as it should with the bearing as well.

So where I am now.
 

So to date I have done this:

-Shortened the wheel base
-Installed 5 speed
-dropped e-brake cross member
-installed rear drop springs
-installed rear drop shocks
-installed new brake lines across axle and to the front of the truck
-modified trailing arm cross member to accept a 1 pc drive shaft
-cut floor and installed boot over new 5 speed shifter
-removed all the old 3 on da' tree linkage
-cleaned and "painted" the frame
-dropped cab back on the frame
-welded worn spot on clutch rod (resurfaced it)
-installed new gas tank
-installed new float on sending unit
-adjusted seat belts to fit accordingly
-tapped and installed rocket shift knob
-cleaned all unnecessary brackets and mounts from the frame rails

At this point I couldnt stand it any longer and had to mock up the bed.
(No front end work has been done yet) (no drop in front, but rear springs are in)
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1...005_183459.jpg

The look I am going for.
 

Stance I "think" will turn out about like this. If so....Great! If lower.... BETTER!! Hahaha

:welcome2: guess you have set the standard for your thread so the next up date will have to be at least 4 post

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Welcome to the forum :D

Looks like someone got a little excited and cut too much off of the back of the frame :)

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Thanks for the welcome! Hahaha


Unfortunately, YES.. the previous owner had cut the rear of the frame. Fortunately, by day I design regularly with sheet metal and have a lot of great equipment at my disposal. I drew up some new rails and had them laser cut and bent.

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Nice truck to start with. Your plans and progress look good.

I'm in for the rest!

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Sub'd for updates. :chevy:

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

That turned out nice :thumbs:

Yes it is nice having access to CAD and fab equipment

Re: Screen name derives from:
 

*****in' MOPAR. looks bad ass just sittin there.

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Cool build man! I like it. The Mopar is sweet. I had a '71 Dart Swinger that I absolutely loved to beat on. It was lowered and stock looking but had a 340 in it. She'd fly. Killer truck!

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Welcome aboard! Nice truck to start with to! :chevy:

Finally a bit of progress has been had again.
 

So Last I left off with finishing up the major work in the rear of the truck. The frame rails. Since then I have designed the new cross member to tie the rails together as well. I have yet to make it, but its no real big deal to make and weld in.

My time has been monopolized by family life lately and it was beginning to wear on me...not having my "garage therapy". Lack of daylight is also now posing an issue, but despite all of these things I managed to sneak in a few hours here and there.

First... I rebuilt the Quadrajet that was the unfortunate victim of horrible rust contaminated fuel. See pics!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-D...102_124625.jpg


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-I...102_122457.jpg

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-J...102_124159.jpg


So there is a bit more to this story as of two nights ago. I started the truck off of a bit of fuel poured into the carb, and then thought to stick the "pick up" side of the fuel line into a gas can in order to flush the fuel pump of the rust debris. Its at this point that it dawned on me that I am an idiot to replace the Fuel tank, steel line, filter, and rebuild the carb only to leave the obviously potential failure of a fuel pump that was essentially pumping a fuel /rust slushy. Needless to say I didn't screw with the fuel pump any further and decided to replace it. At this point the entire fuel system is new aside from a freshly rebuilt carb. Again.... this will be my daily driver and I drive the interstate every day the majority of my commute. I would rather save myself the trouble of an $18.00 part while I am doing all of this already.

On to the front end stuff finally!!!!
 

SO I was able to steal a few hours mid day and get the front end torn down. I knew I was going to need a ball joint press and wasnt wanting to have it kicking around my garage for several days. (I wasnt sure how the rental thing went)

So anyway I decided if I could at least get the front end torn apart in the few hours I had, that I would be getting somewhere. Fortunately to my amazement it all came apart very easily. I had expected 50 years worth of fight in trying to get these parts loose.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-R...030_142756.jpg

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-W...030_142746.jpg


One area that I did have trouble with, but head read it may be an issue, was the top shock bolt. Sure enough it wasnt going to come off easily. I fixed that with the welder! Hahaha Problem solved!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K...030_134927.jpg

I lack a few in between pics, but here I have everything installed, greased, and awaiting the caliper. The drilled and slotted rotor will unfortunately not be seen behind the wheels I have, but ehhhhhhh who cares!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-T...103_171438.jpg

Current "stance" and general update.
 

Well, I have at this point installed everything in the front end aside from the new Tie rod ends. (This saturdays project)

Here is where the 2-1/2" Drop spindles, 2" drop springs, and 5" rear drop springs let her finally sit. I am hoping the front will settle just a bit more after driving it a bit.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-R...030_174821.jpg



So far I have accomplished:

Shortened chassis to SWB
Added new frame rail section to rear (P.O. cut off too much)

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Awesome build. I am just starting a 63 GMC build myself. Hope to make some good progress soon. Mine is gonna be a daily driver too. Want to let my 06 diesel take a break from the 90 mile commute each day.
Oh yeah, I also have a money pit on the side (67 black pro-street Chevelle and an altered wheelbase 67 Nova drag car that is not quite finished). I take that to shows and cruises so nothing pretty going on this truck. All business.

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Progress :metal: Looking good. :chevy:

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Making forward momentum.

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Subscribed, looking forward following along!

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Thanks guys! Its been fun, I just wish I could have made progress even faster. The season is changing and Ill have to give the car I am borrowing..back soon. My brother in law is a sub mariner and is out to sea currently. The use of his car made all this progress possible.

Managed to get a few things wrapped up this weekend!
 

She runs again!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I managed to get a few things done and am slowly chiseling away at the "TO-DO" list.


Got done:
New fuel line from tank to pump, and pump to carb.
New fuel filters
New fuel pump
Proportioning valve
Brake lines (front)




To do:
Install new E-brake cables (SWB brand new from In-lint tube) (Screw them by the way!) Ill tell that story in a bit.
Tie rod ends
Bleed brakes
Install tail lights in fenders


Random other "to-do's"
new Gauges
Heater motor
Radio
Check headlight wiring (one dim headlight)
install a bed floor
Tune up
Trans tail shaft seal (should have already done it but....)
Find a place to connect the crank case breather tube on my new air cleaner
Electric choke (make it work)

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Late to the party...:waah:

I'm in and watching now...:metal:

Great progress and plans...:mm:

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Thanks man! Hope to get the brakes bled this eve and maybe get the correct Tie Rod end ordered. Turns out I needed two "left" ones rather than a R and L. :/

Managed another step closer.
 

So last night I came home from work and bled the brakes in the dark. Hahaha
I grabbed a new vacuum brake bleeder from Harbor Freight. It worked well. I have pedal now, and it seems to be pretty decent. I still pan to bleed them the good ol' fashioned way for peace of mind though.

So at this point All that is stopping me from driving it is the Tie rod end I ordered incorrectly (correct one is on the way), emergency brake cables (yes still) and the exhaust.

Needless to say I am getting stoked to drive this thing again!


In the meantime... I have picked up a few bits and pcs to get the details and finished look of the truck in order.

Scored some 61 Impala tail lights. My original intention was to put them on the rear fenders, but I am now up in the air of what I want to do with them.
Over all I got a hell of a deal. $15.00 for 4 housings and all 6 lenses.

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Diggin the lamps! :metal:

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Thanks TJ.

Managed to get the exhaust back on it. Its nothing special, and isnt the final solution, but itll do until I gather all the parts for the final setup.

Turns out my brother in law is coming home on emergency leave for the potential passing of his mother unfortunately. Of course Ill have to get his car back to him while he is home for that. So now the push is on to have it road worthy by the end of the weekend.

All that is keeping me fron driving it now, is the tie rod end (its on its way currently) and the emergency brake cables. (Hoping to get them in this evening) Also hoping I ordered the correct cables and dont get it torn apart to find I need the other style of clip for the backing plates.

After that its all button up kinda stuff.

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Love the tail lights.

In South Africa the Valiant brand was what I grew up with.

My one uncle was an advocate in law and used to drive them rather than German luxury cars.

Will be watching your build.

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

I replied to your post over in my thread and asked what you were working on... didn't connect the dots, but I now realize that I am already creepin you here:lol:

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

I'm frenchng some 65 Impala taillights into my stepper fender...:mm:

Diggin' those taillights… Nice Score! :metal:

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Hahaha.... yeah I suppose I should put my build thread in the signiture... It may help a bit too.

Ta2Don.... I have yet to decide whether Ill be frenching them in, or even where they will go at this point. But it was the intention to install them on the fenders, and most likely french them. Those 65 lights should look pretty fitting frenched.

Maiden Voyage (around the hood) was had last night.
 

So I had a chance to come home early yesterday and work on the truck. The weather was good and a cold front moved in last night and has dropped the temps enough to not make it so fun to work out there so I was glad to have the chance.

I installed the Inline Tube Co. Emergency brake cables yesterday, and then realized that the only thing keeping me from driving it was the tie rod that should show up today.

So after a fair amount of "button up" I finished up just before dark...

I hadda drive it!!!! So I threw the old tie rod end back in and carefully ran around the block a few times. Everything worked great!

I changed so much with the drive train that I feared the chance of odd vibrations, clutch issues, or a possible noisy trans since I really didnt know much about the T5's history.

Anyhow, at 35mph all seems to be great. I hope to get the tie rod end tonight, install and get a rough alignment done in the drive way, then just spend the entire weekend cleaning up all the loose ends.

The scene from my garage as of late! Hahahah

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

Driving is fun. :metal: Burnouts are funner. :lol:

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

:metal:

Well....replaced the Tie Rod end, aligned it, found bad grounds at both headlights, screwed the plates to the back end and drover her a$$ around some more last night.
Man what a great feeling. The 5 speed works great, the front end is tight (or as tight as you can expect really), and it rides...well.... like a truck.... but maybe a new 1964 truck! Hahahahah

So now I need to turn my efforts towards making it comfortable to drive, then cosmetics.

Just ordered the rubber filler tube for the gas tanks as it smells terribly of fuel in the cab. Also picked up all the window felts and door to cab seals as well.

So this weekend is probably going to be spent on the following:

1.Heater motor
2.Door latches (dont latch well...imagine that)
3.Sealing up any firewall leaks (engine smells)
4. Bleed the brakes
5. get the choke and high idle stuff sorted out.
6. maybe clean it up and throw a bit of paint on some areas in need.
7. bolt the steps and brackets on.

Here is her venture out to Walmart.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-N...113_214830.jpg

She is road worthy!
 

Well, I managed to get all of the above list completed and then some.
Did a lot of running around with it this weekend to make sure it was good to go for the commute on the interstate this morning and it was damned nice!
The RPMs could stand to be a bit lower still Id imagine (no tach yet). But she tracked straight down the road, no odd vibrations, no issues what so ever.

Managed a lot of looks as I easily kept up with traffic this morning. It isnt too common to see an old beast like this rolling in the morning rush hour traffic around here. :)

Snapped a few shots of where she stands as of now.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-G...6_135427-1.jpg


Dropped by Jokers (guy I bought it from) to show him the end product. Sittin' in a sea of Fords!
There are two 55' F series trucks, his 34' 5 window, and there is a 32 Tudor hiding in the garage. He has a handful of great rides. All of them he drives the hell out of!

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-z...116_123052.jpg


Lastly I managed to get a bed floor in here even!!!!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-K...116_153357.jpg



So from here, I have a multitude of small stuff to do as always.... then on to making it decent looking. All the sheet metal work is cake, so I aint sweating that stuff. Ill be repairing the floors first and foremost to stop the potential water sources this winter... :)

So, there she be!!!!!!!:metal:

Re: 64 "Large Marge" LWB-SWB / Build thread.
 

The "old beast" is lookin' sweet!!! :metal:
