64 Shortbed Fleetside/ project "VVRV" / Vintage Volkswagen Recovery Vehicle

[55reasons]

This will be a rather slow build due to my constant travel schedule.

Purpose-built C10 to haul my VW around, sometimes with my '50 BMW motorcycle, and/or recover vintage VW's for resale or restoration.

The plan as it stands:
Dually rear end narrowed to fit inside the bed with no flares.
Bagged all the way around.
10-lug bolt pattern oversized disc brakes w/ 22.5" semi wheels (Alcoa) cut down to 22" to run passenger tires.
No fancy paint, just patina, raw steel, clear coat and rubber.
Manual tranny, and a V8.
Fuel tank relocation.

Started with this 64 C10 that I picked up in Twentynine Palms, CA from cru_zn_29 on April 13th with an extra GMC hood.





I liked the shape of the GMC hood lights and openings, so I sprung for the extra hood and swapped it out as soon as I got it home.



The interior has some rust in the lower front cornersthat needs repaired, but the seat frame and springs are in great shape.
