1964 Chevy c-10 build "Carla Marie"

Well I've been on here for a while now and might as well put my build thread on.

1964 Chevy c-10 short fleet bed. All original minus tires and wheels when I purchased it. straight 6 with 3 on the tree. Small backwindow. It did run and I drove it home in the snow.

Dropped it and painted the wheels. Redid the wood in the bed with red oak. Ditched the inline for a 350 s.b. Had fun in it over the summer and blew up the stock 3 speed. Decided to put an auto in it and drive it, but I just kept digging deeper into it..

Z'd the front rails 4" and the back rails 10". Built a new trailing arm crossmember and located the arm mounts up 6" and back 3/4" (Centers the wheel in the fender). Moved the motor back 10" in the frame and lowered it untill the pan is 1" above the frame rails. Plan to run a Mustang II rack and mount the front bumper upside down. In the rear would like to make a storage box behind the rear axle.

Braced the cab and cut out the stock floor. Made a new rear cab crossmember and new boxed inner rockers. Still need to make the "dog house" for the engine and cut out the stock firewall and make a new one. Enjoy the pics
