Re: 1966 C10 Project Truck
This is such a cool build.
The fact you have your dad involved is even better. The waxed cab will look great too. And having your dog along for the ride...... Priceless.

Re: 1966 C10 Project Truck
Thanks guys!
Saturday was an off-road day again but Sunday was all about the 66, and a little bit of dad's new toy, a 69 K20 ex Fire Truck. It's rad! My cab and dad's truck  We tinkered with his truck for a bit and then got busy on mine. First order of business was to put the frame back under the cab. It went super smooth, just like it had come out.  I painted the underside of the frame and the new disc brake parts while dad cleaned and painted the rear axle.  Mom even stopped by to see what we were up to, she can't wait to see my truck finished!  Dad got the trailing arms put back in while I got the spindles on and passenger side rotor installed   Dad went to install the other rotor and caliper and just for fun, I had him verify that the other rotor was 6 lug. Turns out, they had sent me 1 6 lug rotor and 1 5 lug rotor. No big deal, I'll get it sorted out this morning.  Passenger side all buttoned up. I love it!  How the driver's side will look for a bit [url=https://flic.kr/p/FEvtcv]  After we figured out we couldn't do anymore on the front, we moved to the rear and got the axle all bolted in. I'm still waiting on new coil keepers but everything else is on and looks awesome!  We knocked a whole bunch of big items out yesterday and I can't be any happier of the progress we are making! I'm going to get the motor and tranny mated up this week and maybe even drop em in this weekend

 We are having a blast with this old truck for sure!I got a rear sway bar from a guy at work yesterday so last night I cleaned it up and painted it to match the rest of the frame. It's out of a Trans Am and looks like it's pretty straightforward to bolt in!  Even sanded the front sway bar down and got it nice and pretty too!  Tonight I'll be building a cradle to hold the motor on the floor so I can get the flywheel, clutch and tranny all bolted up to it. Should see it in the frame on Saturday
