Gasser 60-66?
 
Has anyone done a gasser c10 i really like the look i was wondering what all it requires to put a solid axle in the truck and the correct way to mount the axle? if anyone has i would love to see some pics! Thanks!

A lot of us have interest in this build style, but so far I've never seen a 60-66 done yet.

here's an interesting thread on the idea of a 60-66 gasser: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=315913 Hardwaa's cool little green truck is gasser-ish, just doesn't have a nosebleed like most tend to associate with a gasser. But I too have never seen a 60-66 straight axle truck... Thread discusses them (gassers in general) a good bit, but no 60-66's were posted. I realize this doesn't help, but it's somethin!

someday I have a 66 that I hope to build like a gasser, or F/X truck.

only pic I have of a straight axle 60-66 is this model:

If I ever do that 66 F/X it would look like this dodge....


a 47-54 front axle setup might be a good candidate for the swap.

I was kinda hoping someone one here would build a Gasser.
I wouldn't mind building a 60-63 Stepside Gasser myself.

These are the closest I’ve seen, including 2 earlier year Chevys. The only 60-66 is a photoshop effort: My truck was headed this direction until medical retirement cancelled the budget:

Gassers ROCK! I have a '49 International Harvester KB-2 that I am very seriously considering applying the gasser treatment to...

I believe we would have seen more gassers trucks had GM not changed to torque bar and coils in sixty, same with ford when they changed to twin I beam in 65, It was just easier to grab something already done just change the springs.

Yep, Ford and Dodge didn't move to IFS until later in the 60's. It made it much easier to build a gasser when it's already a straight axle/leaf springs.

It would be great to see someone actually build one. :)

That looks like Tommy Chong in the drivers seat drinking a Budweiser.

I love those old G Vans.
