Slow 66 build
 

I am planning on building another 66 c10. Plans are frame off and install a 230 3 speed. It is a custom cab. Going back the original color which is dark blue with a white top. It will take me a while but here are some pictures I started in the bed removing rust and welding in patch panels.https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f4bc8d1f_z.jpgIMG_4437 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickrhttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b6e88a81_z.jpgIMG_6208 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickrhttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...642745fc_z.jpgIMG_6214 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickrhttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e9c57f7f_z.jpgIMG_6215 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickrhttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...82f1dcf4_z.jpgIMG_6216 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickrhttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...151d5db9_z.jpgIMG_6217 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickrhttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7f409e53_z.jpgIMG_6218 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickr

I got one side of the front end tore down. I have the frame about clean on that side. I also installed the original cross member. Putting all new parts back.https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...fc7a4195_z.jpgIMG_6263 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickrhttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...5a44363b_z.jpgIMG_6264 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickrhttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...5f5a3bf4_z.jpgIMG_6265 by https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ef67ea0f_z.jpgIMG_6266 by Daniel Crymes, on FlickrDaniel Crymes, on https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...29c4179e_z.jpgIMG_6267 by Daniel Crymes, on FlickrFlickr

I got the crack welded up and the frame painted on the drivers side. Also got the top a arm installedhttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...227ed1ba_z.jpg029 by https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...0d5105d2_z.jpg030 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickr/www.flickr.com/photos/169098912@N02/]Daniel Crymes[/url], on Flickrhttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1217dfb8_z.jpg031 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickr

Never a fun thing to see that crack.

I don't know if it helped at all, but I added a reinforcement plate to the inside of the frame that all three steering gear bolts go through. I also welded it to the frame. Hopefully mine won't crack again.

Re: Slow 66 build
 

Yes I welded a plate on the inside as well. Hopefully it will be solid now
