BONZEYE's 86 C10 LONGBED - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BONZEYE · 10-23-2009, 12:11 PM

I bought this truck from a guy down the street from me for $400. It needed a new tranny and everything else was clean about it.

-I got the tranny Rebuilt.
-Did a rear end on leave swap on 4.5" blocks.
-Cut 3" of coil in the front.
-Had to take the front wheel wells out for clearence.
-Shaved the side lights and passenger door handle and lock. (when i get the popper kit i will shave the driver side.

I currently have the bed off and am designing a 2X6 C-notch for it, hopefully this weekend i can start on my notch.. Baggs to come soon also.

Cool ride! Good luck with the build

BIG V · 10-23-2009, 10:49 PM

looks good i love the long beds slammed like that

BONZEYE · 10-27-2009, 02:20 PM

I got started on my V notch.. Iv never seen anyone do the notch like this, thought it would be cool.. Still need the 4 link welded up .. And bagg mounts

dropd80s · 10-28-2009, 10:39 AM

Why such a big notch? You going to lay it out on some 30s? Your fabrication looks good other than that.

Driveway Dreams · 10-28-2009, 10:58 AM

Good start to your project. I too wonder about the huge notch. What are your plans so far other than suspension?

jchav62 · 10-28-2009, 11:41 AM

Looking sick!!! Awesome work...

BONZEYE · 10-28-2009, 12:35 PM

Thanks for the comments. . The notch seems BIG cause i used 2x6 tubing. and in the V configuration it sticks up way higher. The plan was to put at least some 24" eventually. And the bumper lays about 6 inches further than the frame. So i figure when the bumper is grinded all the way down ill put some Titanium blocks on the frame and lay frame.

A big concern i have is what i am going to do for the fuel cell.

BONZEYE · 10-28-2009, 12:39 PM

Here is a quick rendering i made of what i want. THeres no bagg mounts on it yet. Still thinking about that one.

menace121978 · 10-28-2009, 01:08 PM

awesome progress! looks real good. you work fast man... it looks like the v in the notch is going to be higher than the bed sides though... may just be the pics

BONZEYE · 10-29-2009, 12:33 AM

I just put the bed on n the notch looks perfect. Its wayy lower than the bed.

silvereagle07 · 10-29-2009, 07:42 AM

I havent yet, I planned on cutting out a wedge n welding it in there and boxing in the section on the sides. A band saw would be great... It was kinda a weird shape in that section. And the frame changes from like 4" to about 3-2 1/2" on the other side..
