67 C10 stepper frame off - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Been lurking this site through the whole process so I figured it was only appropriate to start a build thread after I joined. Anyways here it is when I started. My goal for this project is to have a clean, somewhat original look, and to be a dependable driver.

Front suspension and brakes finally finished up this weekend. Parts consist of CPP 5 lug conversion 2.5 drop spindles, 2 inch drop springs, and all new steering components

Picked up the power plant from the machine shop a few weeks ago. I can't wait to bust this rig off

Are you using the 28x10 r18 front and rear ? I like the amount of sidewall.

No I'm running 28 x 10 up front on an 8'' wide wheel and 28 x 13.50 on back on a 12''wide wheel (if they will every ship!) I've been waiting on the rears for three months

Took me over six months to get mine..

I couldn't wait any longer, I called yesterday and American eagle wheel corp. couldn't even tell me when they would be manufacturing chrome wheels again, so I order a set of gun metal 338's

jwilb88 · 05-11-2016, 07:51 AM

Stopped by and checked out some parts at the paint shop yesterday, I had the inside of the fenders and bottom of the steps lined. Its amazing how much it deadens the sounds produced by the metal fenders.

Are you going to tub it? Will the 13.50 fit? I think I have 9.5 and they are really close to rubbing.

68is4me · 05-11-2016, 01:48 PM

Never mind, I noticed that you are not that low so you should not have a problem.

By the way, that looks like it was a nice truck to start with.

It's got a totally tubular kit in the rear from CPP, it's a 6'' rear drop (Drop was installed after the pictures of it together). I'm going to cut a set of factory fleet side wheel tubs to get the extra clearance.

Nice truck, I'd like to see it someday.

Nice work! Following.

jwilb88 · 05-16-2016, 07:24 AM

Some progress for the weekend... Got the new axle bearings and seals installed with the new moser 5 lug conversion axles

jwilb88 · 05-16-2016, 07:28 AM

Couple driveway pictures after I mounted the rear wheels and tires. Should have the matching front wheels today

jwilb88 · 05-16-2016, 07:30 AM

Little goofing off with the dummy block to get a visual of how the motor will look installed.

Bubba4spd · 06-05-2016, 08:45 PM

Well thought out project. Looking forward to seeing the next steps.

No, I had a the block bored to 3.900 (LS1 spec) so essentially its just an iron 5.7 liter. Its got forged manley H beam rods, manley crank, and Mahle pro pistons. I plan on boosting the truck I just haven't decided between procharger or turbo.
