Re: My 1st 66 c-10 project....
No yet I'm still debating if I should raise it or just do a cover over the notch.

Re: My 1st 66 c-10 project....
So I've made a little bit of progress during this last few months .
We replaced my old worn gears and replaced the carrier as well with a Eaton posi also while we were at it we replaced the axles too couldn't have done it with out the help of my good friend Joe. Also purchased a set of tubs and got em fitted to match the truck and not have gaps all around . On a trip to Disneyland for my daughters birthday I took some time to visit the truck shop in orange CA and found a new place to buy all these replacement parts I picked up a tach and a bunch of small parts. Also upgraded my airbag system controller to the switch speed fromantic accuair hoping I can upgrade to an E level soon... I been really busy at work so Im not putting as much work as I need to on the truck but hoping I can get it closer to paint in the next couple of months..

Re: My 1st 66 c-10 project....
Nice work on the truck! Can't wait to see it done. Did you decide on a color and finish? I had the matte but decided to go with the original color (507)base clear. My interior is flat. The painter told me it was the in thing. I really love the look!

Re: My 1st 66 c-10 project....
After a year of looking at those not so shiny transit wheels i decided to send em out to get a face lift nothing like some nice shiny newly powdercoated wheels with the hubcaps installed..
while I had the truck in jack stands waiting for the wheels I noticed the pitman arm was shut so purchased a new one and replaced it and was able to tell the difference in the first minute of driving down the road .. ![]() Down the road.... to my good friends Mr. Joe Pass Garage ![]() ![]() ![]() So Joe (in picture) and my self (in next picture) started to tackle this motor last friday morning it wasn't long before we had this monster 350 out ![]()

Great truck! What all has been done to the front suspension? Cupped lower control arms and drop spindles?

Re: My 1st 66 c-10 project....
Update from last week.
So we got the motor out and I decided to add a cam while the motor was out so we had to dissasemble the top end and also get it ready to get cleaned out and re painted. After a few hours of wire brushes and laquer thinner it got ready to paint and since it was one of the few nice days out we went ahead and shot some epoxy primer and paint on it it was my first time actually using an actual paint gun but good ol' Joe was nice enough to teach me and let me go at it ...of course he had to supervised and give it the thumbs up. ![]() ![]() And this was the end result of a hard day of work on the motor. But while I was scrubbing and spraying the motor Joe took care of cleaning and clearing the intake manifold ![]() And the fun just begins ![]()

Re: My 1st 66 c-10 project....
So this is as far as we got on the motor waiting for some part to arrive and parts to be painted
![]() ![]() so the next monster on the table were this massive inner tubs that I purchased cause I was told they were "bolt on" now I fully understand that nothing that's custom will ever be bolt on but this tubs definitely took alot of work to get em to fit.. Joe started this project with out me while I was at work and when he sent me few pictures I thought he had em in and done ![]() ![]() So after we got em to fit as good as they will the issue became the wheels they looked too far out sitting at ride height but when we lowered the truck all the way the wheels start to camber into the tub and they clear the tubs by maybe 1/4 of an inch... so since I've been looking into a new set of control arms due to ground clearance and one of my LCA being bent from hitting the ground ![]() ![]() So after we got the tubs fitted and most of the mounting bolts locations drilled and set we took them out to start cleaning up the firewall in the areas we are going to be welding on (by we I mean Joe) ![]() See what I meant ![]() ![]() Attachment 1594038
