Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Amazon states they are IP54 rated, which should be fine on the undercarriage of a vehicle. If you drive your truck in the rain though, a splash shield of some sort would help give some peace of mind.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Great progress! That hidden trailer hitch is sweet. We will have to see some pics of it in use once you start haulin' with it! I like the random shop buddy pics. And that actuated parking brake is trick! That is an awesome idea. I could have used something like that on mine. With the exhaust tucked up in the frame I had a hard time routing the brake cables. They still rub and bind on the exhaust a bit and cause the pedal to have trouble returning.

Thanks all for the words of encouragement! Pops helped me move the frame to his place today to give me some more space at my house. On to phase two!

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Some progress pics.
Shortbed chop is underway, dents have been pulled, and all cab rust has been cut out. Lots of dirty work and time with the death wheel! I found a pretty knarly sideswipe on the driver side bed panel that took lots of pulling. Thanks to metaloxfab for the video on Youtube showing how to properly cut the bedsides. I also wanted to add the true shortbed wheel well tip in front of the rear wheels so I spent the extra money to get those patch pieces from LMC.
