64 c10 build
 

Im kinda new on here Ive posted a few times...im still trying to find my way around. Im building a 64 c10 swb big window that i bought a few months ago. I started the build just wanting to do a few mods and its turned into alot more then that. Some of the upgrades were ride height motor trans swap and disc brakes and wheels.. Im leaving the paint alone for now its the same color as my grandfathers was.

I agree, that looks like a nice truck.

Yep, that happens....one thing leads to another, and then while we're this far we might as well.......

Nice truck. Looks really solid.

Re: 64 c10 build
 

Thank you! It is solid, it has some rust in the cab floor but not real bad. I'm going to repair it befor it goes back together.

Re: 64 c10 build
 

I got a paint sample for my wheels from the body shop today and it don't match.
The color code on my truck is 558AD witch from what I can tell is a 2-tone code for fawn(528) and ivory (526). When the paint is wet its spot on when it dries it a lot darker.

Re: 64 c10 build
 

Those are sick wheels you got there.

Re: 64 c10 build
 

wow!

Re: 64 c10 build
 

how heavy are those transport wheels? my friend got some detroit steelies 20s and they are 47 lbs each!!

Re: 64 c10 build
 

I think they are around 48lbs each and the tire was 28lbs. The total weight wheel and tire are 76.8

Re: 64 c10 build
 

good googly moogly that is a lot of wheel.

Re: 64 c10 build
 

Such a cool truck. I'm loving the chassis and wheel set-up.

What mount setup are you using for your LS?

Re: 64 c10 build
 

I ordered it from CPP.
