Owen's C10

[mooseknuckles]

next went the cab, and the old 283...

long bed to short bed conversion.

[mooseknuckles]

welded back together..... I just welded the outside for now till I figure out what to do for the bodydrop...

Owen workin hard cleaning up the crossmember.....cut the rear cab mounts, bed mounts, and old tranny member off, then cleaned the frame up a little with the grinder, and gave it a quick coat of paint. I'll probably get my bro to sand blast everything when we get finished with the frame...

she's now a 67 c20 short bed! I also gave the cab a good degreasing and wash job.

8 lug drum to 5 lug disc conversion....I used the old control arms and spindles off my c10 and swapped them to the 67...glad I saved that crap!...I was surprised at how easily it came apart after 40 some years....hopefully I can get some drop spindles and some rotors this week, and I can use the old calipers, then get the front wheels bolted up.

found a 10 bolt rear end from a Camaro that my bro had lying around, actually the same rear end I got the posi and gears out of....according to my calculations the Camaro rear is roughly 3" narrower than the 12 bolt in the 69...that should make for a nice wide wheel! now just need new axles or have them re-drilled...
