Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
That's what it's called.
Not usually a huge fan of flaps, but you have to keep that black paint protected. Those flaps look great on that truck.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
Soooo... a co-worker of mine is a wood hobby/carpenter dude. Made a trade with him. He wanted a fany post for his mailbox, and I want truck boards. Fullfilled my end of the deal... back to him as soon as I decide on what type of wood for the bed. Felt a bit rusty gettin back into the artsy stuff... he was happy with it.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
As for truck stuff... ran a fuel filler line to re-located tank. Will incorporate filler into driver's side wheel tub I think. New wheel tubs, outer window seals, metal bed strips and bolt kit enroute. 3" stainless flowmaster exhaust and super 10 series mufflers arrived. After numerous burns.... its tacked up with an "H" pipe in place, and welding it home as we speak.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
Thanks!... Not lookin good for me this year. Honestly.. I would only be lookin for Nova parts anyways. Lol. This build should be wrappin up shortly. Ordered some parts from Lakkers in winnipeg. Bed strips, bolt kit, window felts and new tubs. Figure out what type of bed wood I'm gonna use and she's go time. And the driveshaft crap as well. 1 piece or 2. Dunno. Ran a one piece on a '72 gmc lwb years ago... No issue. Guys tellin me now not to do it. (Driveline shop) experience/opinions on driveshaft and what type of bed wood welcome here brothers. Thanks again guys.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
I've been planning a one-piece even before my SWB conversion. I looked around quite a bit on the site and found several people that had done it without issue.
I dunno if I'll go with anything exotic for bed wood. I might even paint mine vs. natural look just for durability. They sure look great new but they look just as awful when the finish fails. Tough call.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
The th400 i installed has a fixed rear yoke. So i'd have to have a shaft built with an integral slip joint of some sort. Morons at local scrapyard move everything with a fork lift. Cant find a straight driveshaft out of the 500+ vehicles out there.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
Exact same story here. I've quit looking underneath, just look in the back of truck beds.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
Here we go with the "beer, update, starin at it" thing again. Yanked my valve covers off to polish pre-fire up. Got a look at my scorpion rocker arms that were put on decades ago. Still there. Ordered a one piece/2 piece driveshaft. Pick it up next week. Ground out hot rivets and punched out bracket for the old carrier bearing. Picked up[my new exterior window felts, wheel tubs (whick I promptly cut up), stainless bolt kit and bed strips.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
Robbed a fuel filler assembly off my 1950 parts truck from a previous build, shoved it through the left tub, and sealed it up. I like these old set ups. The vent line ties into an outer tube/overflow for the filler tube. Will work well for what I want.
