Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
Build a frame outta 1" square tubing and keep the original steel bed. Raise it about 11" or so. I haven't measured it out yet. Got some Hart Rods super wide rear tubz coming in.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
How do you plan to attach the 1x1 square tubing to the bedside where they meet? I'm getting ready to do this soon and looking for ideas

Got the hinged center section working with the gas struts. Air tank will mount there and compressors on each side as shown. Boyds Welding fuel tank in. Also welded in a battery box to relocate it to under the bed. ![]()

You're killing it Josh! Won't be long until you have some ChubTubz to cover up those "skinny" little tires,

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
That's badass man. Good job on that bedfloor. How did you figure out the length for the gas struts that holds up the hinged section? Happen to have a part number?
