Re: 1964 Chevy c-10 build "Carla Marie"

Thanks all for the comments. The truck is a ways off, but I think building them is the fun part!

I wanted to move the engine back to get the weight down and more on the rear tires and less on the front. Better handling and weight transfer. Quick adjustment of timing and to do something different.

Will still do the "Carla Marie" on the bed when redone. I originally wanted to leave the "patina", but after so many hours fixing the floor etc. I will be painting it..

Hope to have my wheels in tommorow. 2008 Nissan Titan 20" six spokes. Ebayed them for $340 for the set. Will have to see how they look. I'll post pics.

Also, shot of the truck with 31" tall 17" spare tire off 2008 Silverado. A little big imo. I will be running 29" tall tires with the 20's.
