Re: 1966 C-10 build
Thanks John, You keep at it and the welding will come with practice. I tell everyone to go down to the local city college and take a course. It will shave years off the learning curve..

Re: 1966 C-10 build
Had to do a little mock up today of the seat and carpet..
So I am sitting here this afternoon looking at all the gaps and feeling pretty good about the sheetmetal/ body work is done for now when I realize I forgot to patch the darn antenna hole.. LOL Oh well. And the beat goes on!

Re: 1966 C-10 build
Thanks Cap. I figure after I get it on the road I can start to save up some parts to use your power steering brackets I got from ya. Might even do the brake upgrade at the same time. Lord knows the boss will be wanting them both soon enough.

Re: 1966 C-10 build
For a truck that was meant to not get a lot of attention, you have done well.

Re: 1966 C-10 build
You know as well as anyone Grizz that these things keep changing. I think we all start at one place in our minds and as the project evolves we tend to let the project tell us what it needs. This one needed to at the very least get rid of the rust and have a new interior. The rest of the stuff I just couldn't stop myself, Besides its a passion for me as I am sure it is for most on here.

Re: 1966 C-10 build
Gas tank installed and plumbed.
Funny thing is the truck ran ok with the old tank and line as it was. I dropped this one in and ran a new line (3/8 braided stainless) start the truck up and it runs better?????? Must have had some blockage in the old line. Sorry the truck is so dusty but somebody has been cutting sanding welding and grinding around here..
