Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
More cutting, didn't like the rust that was covering the inside of the cowl panel.
Screwing the panels down until I weld them in place. |

Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
Yeah, I seen that, but figured it was worth a shot.
Would be nice to know if he finished it or what??

Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
I found someone who wanted it way more than I paid for it, so as they say...everything is for sale if the price is right!!
So down the road it went.  Probably for the best though, as there has been a ton of unexpected work needed on the house, picture a very small pin-hole leak in a water pipe hidden inside the wall for who knows how long!!! Needless to say, it was not pretty or cheap!!! But on the positive side, have basically a brand new kitchen!!

Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
Finished the leaf springs on the drivers side, so I had to see what it looked like on its tires since I lowered it. It's nice and low in front but rear is still a little high.

Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
Got a little more sandblasting done on the leaf springs and other suspension parts, but now its too cold to paint them. Will have to wait til I get the garage insulated and heated. Received the tail gate chains and hinges from Santa.

Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
I know it's been awhile, but I thought I'd check.
Any updates? I've been watching for months lol. Anyone know what body this is? 3100? I'm surprised at how well it fit the c10 frame. Did I miss any major modifications or did he just make some cab mounts and there ya go?

Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
Haven't made any modifications to the frame or body (3100). I got rims with offsets to fit inside the fenders.

Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
Was the donor C-10 originally a big block truck? About 25 years ago, I swapped in a 454 in to the wife's 1978 Big 10 Chevy 1/2 ton, after the 350 dropped a valve seat. The factory front coil springs were not happy! At rest, the truck was almost on the bump stops. In the end, I swapped in a set of +2" Rancho coil springs to account for the extra weight of the big block and had no more issues with bottoming out.
It doesn't look like you're having that issue, but a different spring rate may be something in your future. Keep up the good work! -Joe

Re: 52 pickup 77 frame 454bbc
The '77 C10 had a straight six, maybe it didn't cause much stress on the springs. Thanks, Dan
