clems, the "deadline plan" i have is by march 18th. to have my sound deadner in, wiring installed, carpet in and all the engine stuff done so i can start it and maybe a "test" drive! and if that all goes to plan then i will be driving it this summer! i can do the bodywork and the exterior mods. as i'm driving it! i'm just getting to the point that i want to drive it!! riding in and driving 'keiths' truck made me want to get mine on the road even more!! and i hope that by the next cook out you have i can drive it there!! i have alot on my plate to do in two months but i will knock out as much of it as i can by then! i think really the wiring is what will take alot of my time and i need to hurry up and start on it, the rest is easy just have to have time when i'm not sick!! i'll start the sound deadner and wiring this next weekend if the weather is ok for me to do it that is!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
i think the body work will turn out a lot better if it was all together and done at one time, i wish i had done that, i think my gaps and lines would have come out better, not to mention all the nicks and chips in the paint.

thanks dino means alot coming from you, i realy love the plan jane truck your building now!! makes me think i could do that with just a few more mods., to my truck, lol! the back of mine will have the brackets and i got only one 2-3 gal. tank for the back! Quote:
anyways i got to get to work on it this weekend the weathers in the 50-60's, we'll see what i can get done! on another note: the wife is talking more and more about wanting a chevelle and if she ends up getting her law suit claim with in the next 6 months from her last job then she'll have somewhere between 15k and 30k or more to pay for any and everything she wants me to do to it!! i have a line on two different year chevelles 1) a 66 ss with a number matching 396 and 4 speed but has a 283 in it, but runs! needs interior work and driver fender needs to be replaced but over all needs about 2k put in the interior and could be a nice daily driver! i've known the guy for a 5 yrs. now! the 2) is a 69 with a bunch of new parts still in boxs with a 05 5.3 ls out of a tahoe with less then 40k miles its sitting in my cousins shop ( the one i talk about that has built hot rod all my life) he bought it and has worked the bugs out on the motor he wife says hes got to many projects! but the prices are way in the budget and we will still be able to put 10k in it! she said if she gets 25k plus we could buy both of them and at least put 10k to fix one for now, man i really love her!! lol !!! she really wants the 69 thats already a daily driver and we could drive it home with no problems! i got my fingers crossed and i hope she gets her claim

last weekend i cut up some 1/4" plate to start making my brackets that will bolt the front tilt hood hinges to the inner fenders and radiator support! so i made some bracket to go under the inner fenders so they dont rip thru! i'll get them welded together maybe tomorrow if i have time! trying to get same small stuff done while i wait on my firewall pad to come in, so i can start the wiring!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
thanks alan for the pics they did help alot!!
i trimmed the lip down some more and its to the point that if i trim anymore without test fitting the glass i might take to much off!! i think i got to really really close if not dead on! i forgot to take some pics because when i did remember to it was getting dark fast! but anyways i got a few pics to show that i am slowly working on it, the wife wanted to do taxes and that took up a 1/2 of "truck time" on friday, lol!! but thats done, i have been working on my gas pedal and brake pedal had to cut four notches in the brake pedal for the bolts and trim the top and bottom off some so you dont see the pedal behind the lokar pedal! heres some pics, some pics are not so good cause it was getting dark and i forgot to take pics earlier when i did it! i didnt work on the tilt hood brackets to much, just got some more grinding on them to do before welding then together! pics of those to come later!! on the gas pedal i'm going to order the spacer for it to get more travel in the pedal i think its 1/4"-1/2" spacer anyways heres the pics

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
I used to live in Poteau back in the late 90's. I built the bowling alley there, I helped anyway.. I even worked at Wortz right before I moved back to Texas.
Good job on the truck..
