Slow 66 build
I am planning on building another 66 c10. Plans are frame off and install a 230 3 speed. It is a custom cab. Going back the original color which is dark blue with a white top. It will take me a while but here are some pictures I started in the bed removing rust and welding in patch panels.

Re: Slow 66 build
I got one side of the front end tore down. I have the frame about clean on that side. I also installed the original cross member. Putting all new parts back.

Re: Slow 66 build
Never a fun thing to see that crack.
I don't know if it helped at all, but I added a reinforcement plate to the inside of the frame that all three steering gear bolts go through. I also welded it to the frame. Hopefully mine won't crack again.

Re: Slow 66 build
Yes I welded a plate on the inside as well. Hopefully it will be solid now
