Just got the C10 a little less then a month ago (May 24). This truck is a 71 Long Wheel Base and i will be modifying the frame and the bed to make it a Short Wheel base. The truck is going to get bagged and body dropped on 22's or 24's.



This is how we got the truck.

Pulled the front end.

Pulled the bed off.

Pulled the cab.












Got the other shortened today. 20" off

We had a few issues aligning the side pieces we cut back to the bed sides, but over all it wasn't to hard. Both are done now and we are starting to fill it.

Re: 1971 C10 Build
almost everything on the firewall is going to get welded up for a clean look. I'm going to get a under dash A/C when i get around to it.

Re: 1971 C10 Build
are you doing a traditional body drop or stock floor? did you use one big piece of sheet metal for the back of the cab?
