Project: A Bodied67

[Bodied67]

Im new to this forum, but have been creeping around as of lately, this is my new project i got going on.

I picked up what i believe to be is a 67 c10, only because it has the front end of a 67. It is a Stockfloor Bodydropped 3/4 chassis, that i believe is 2x4 box frame with a "z'd" front end, and some serious custom work in the back half. This work was apparently done by a shop in New Jersey, Haggard Fabrication, Ive looked him up and he does some amazing fabricating and welding.

Its been under a tarp for roughly 2 years, this was the day i pulled it out with the flatbed, It was actually up off the ground but the tires were flat and sunk in the mud so i knew it had been there awhile. It came with a number of body panels for the front end, brand new goodmark doors, and a somewhat destroyed stepside bed but ill be able to save that with some work i hope.




The cab floor was somewhat dirty but luckily this cab literally has no rot or serious rust issues, i was very surprised, except for the fact that the cab floor has a huge cut out for a custom tranny tunnel...




I got the truck home and into storage in mid march to sit until work slowed down, now that it finally has this brings us to this passed weekend...





I pulled the cab off because after filling the tires with air and taking the wooden blocks out from the suspension, the frame of the truck was sitting higher than pinch weld of the cab, this threw me off until i pulled the cab off and realized there were no body mounts, but this sucker lays COMPLETELY OUT

Heres a few shots of the suspension






Now i have run into my first problem, i got the truck and it had ART StrongArms which came with it, which i was happy about but after throwing them on i realized i have some spindle issues, it has to be wrong because the balljoints on the control arms, do not want to fit into the spindle enough to make it possible to completey thread the bolt onto them? So in my mind one of them is wrong.







Thats my progress so far as i am maybe only 3 hours into this but i think that it has some serious potential to be an awesome build and a killer truck once finished.

I plan on slightly bodyworking the frame and painting it soon, so mocking everything up on that is first order of business.
