Man that turned out great! And fast too (build time). Did you cut the bed floor sections at an angle? seems like there would be some gaps if you cut it straight. turned out very nice, looks like it was stamped that way, excellent work and grass too

.

Cut them at 22.5 angle, used a abrasive blade in a circular saw, wouldnt do it that way again.

Truck looks awesome! Can I ask what the seats are out of?

Out of a Mitsubishi 3000gt, had nice bolsters but we a bit larger than most.

What size tires are you running

245/40-20 and 295/35-20

Quote:

can I ask what kind of $$ you have into it in just parts, not counting your time

I saved all the reciepts but am too scared to add it all up.

Truck looks awesome. Do you know the backspace on your wheels? I also have the cpp big disk brake with modular spindles so just curious I haven't got that far yet, thanks.

Backspacing; front-4.75, rear-5.5.

Not truck related but check out the new toy, 1970 BSA Lightning.

No rubbing issues with the setup? Did your control arms maintain factory width or did it narrow it? I have your brake set up but with factory control arms. Don't wanna assemble my truck to measure so I may go with your numbers

question did i miss something? why is the bed steped when the frame is just c notched is that for later?

oldspowered67C10 · 12-23-2012, 09:52 PM

67ctener, no rubbing issues but had to run a spacer in the rear, 5" b.s. would have been perfect for the rear. I dont think the A- arms change the track width, the upper arm is longer to allow you to get camber in spec w/o a lot of shims though.

Rusty, the step in the bed floor is to clear the exhaust and the rear sway bar.

oldspowered67C10 · 12-18-2013, 10:49 PM

Got the seat upholstered, decided to go with bench seat, done by Ron Mangus in Rialto,CA.

Rusbuilt · 12-18-2013, 10:50 PM

That looks sweet! very nice!

19GMC66 · 12-19-2013, 12:19 AM

Truck turned out nice man. Wheels and stance are everything to me and you did it perfect!

67_ShortFleet · 12-19-2013, 12:45 AM

Looks great!

dan42 · 12-19-2013, 01:01 AM

That is a beautiful truck, very tastefully and practically done. I think you nailed what you were shooting for in that truck.

Bennett68C10 · 12-19-2013, 06:41 AM
