1966 C10 Project Truck

With my new work schedule, I don't have as much time after work as before but I can still make a lot of noise for an hour or so. I got the factory brackets cut off the 8.8 last night and noticed that it will need axle seals and it looks like a pinion seal as well. I also sent the axle shafts and brake rotors off to Dutchman to get them redrilled to 5x5 pattern.

Started tearing into it yesterday, pulled the 12 bolt and mocked the 8.8 up. Everything seems to be fitting nice and it hasn't fought me yet.





8.8 mocked up, driveline looks like it will work which is awesome. The exhaust doesn't like my new panhard bar so I'll be cutting it right after the rear axle




And the best part about working on a pickup, as we all know, storage space

Where did you get those taillights? Looking for something similar.

Awesome truck.

Thank you!

I'm not sure on the taillights, a buddy bought them 20 years ago at a shop in Arizona and gave them to me when I bought the pickup.
