Full Tubed Chassis build
Well I finally picked up a c-10 truck! It's a 66 long bed, but I'm going to convert it to a short bed. I'm pretty much leaving the truck the way it is but its going to be laying on 22"s with a full tubed chassis.

Re: My first c-10
Nice C10 brother...love it and I have always loved that gold and white combination. I am going to pay attention to your build as I am going to be building a 1965 C10 BBW Short Fleetside with V8, auto, and factory A/C. But I am always looking for ideas and I can't wait to see what transpires with your build.

Re: My first c-10
Looking very good. I've been wanting to build a frame like that for my truck, but just no time. Did you use your 3D CAD program to layout your bends, or did you perhaps use Bend Tech Pro?

Re: My first c-10
Yeah I used the cad to lay out where the bends go but i had to still figure out the twist which wasn't that big of a deal..

Re: My first c-10
Looking good
![]() Is the frame the same width from front to back? What size tube are you using?

Re: My first c-10
Thanks for the info and the additional pic. I couldn't really see the front taper in the other pics.
I really like where you're going with this build. Please keep the updates and pics coming. ![]()

Re: My first c-10
Oh Man! One sick ride once it's done. You are amazing in designing this from the beginning, you are very talented. I wish I had your gift! Please keep us posted. What size engine is that?

Re: My first c-10
Dude...
Wow... I was cutting angle iron today with a sawsall and cutting discs on my peanut grinder and thinking I was the schiznitz. I am in awe and totally humility of what you are doing here! I showed my wife your frame and pointed out the table you made to block it. I cannot wait to see how this all turns out for you!
