Thanks but I am going to hold on to it for a while... I have a few people in line for that truck if I decide to sell it.. Its my every day ride... I have a brand new 60k demo that sits in my driveway most of the time while I drive my 64... Alot of people just don't understand..

**lolife99** · 08-31-2009, 10:47 PM

Keep me in mind,... if the other guys pass when you decide to sell.

your on the list.... thanks for the interest..

c10addict · 09-02-2009, 11:03 PM

So I got a little more done... I had to brace the spring pockets where the arms bolt in because I had to cut away the rear of the bracket so the arm could travel closer to the frame.. I also got the notch mostly welded in and bolted the wheels on and set it back on the ground..I had to cut the gas tank cross member for the drive shaft and will weld it up to secure it.. When aired out it gets the lower frame rail 2.5" off the ground... Im thinking the running boards should be smashed on the ground when aired out...

c10addict · 09-09-2009, 08:57 AM

Not to get off topic here but here is another reason this project is not getting anywhere to quickly... Trying to get this done for my step dad in the next two months...(just in time for winter

) I can not wait to drive it... I miss owning something with alot of horsepower... 69 Charger, 528 Hemi, auto.. Pulling the 4 barrel intake and putting a crossram on it... I wanna bag it with 20" billet specialities cast finish Bonneville-G wheels! Not gonna happen though..

VA72C10 · 09-09-2009, 10:13 AM

That is SWEEEEEEEEEET. We'll forgive you for not working on the truck and working on a mopar just because it's got a big block hemi

c10addict · 09-22-2009, 11:34 PM

Well I went on vacation in OBX last week but I am back and really have the bug to get this thing done.. I spent last night on the band saw cutting the 4x4 steel to make the cab mounts... Tonight I welded them together... Thanks again Jeffs51 for posting the drawings for the mounts... I decided to try the 4x4 square tube and think its the easiest way to go... its alot less cutting and welding IMO... and with one cut you have the main body of the mount and the steel for the foot..

c10addict · 09-22-2009, 11:38 PM

As I mentioned before in an eariler post I wanted to open up the air cleaner I converted for more air flow... Here is what I did...just need to powder coat it now... I also cut a piece of the top engine cover away and add a piece of mesh to try and tie it all together.. If your wondering the top engine cover is off of a BMW X5 V8... Not crazy about it but it works till I fab something new up..

Alan's Classic · 09-23-2009, 09:42 PM

I like the oil bath update. Yep I'm subscribed as well. Sweet work!!

c10addict · 11-01-2009, 03:16 PM

c10addict · 11-01-2009, 05:48 PM

VA72C10 · 11-01-2009, 06:10 PM

VERY cool. Looking forward to seeing some sheetmetal on it!

muddpile · 11-01-2009, 09:49 PM

Lookin Good!

vk_chevy · 11-01-2009, 09:59 PM

excellent progress, I really like this build!

BlueJeep · 11-01-2009, 11:25 PM

Is the 1 piece driveshaft stock? Most I've seen have had the 2 piece...

c10addict · 11-02-2009, 08:54 AM

The driveshaft is the stock S10 shaft that was in the truck... One more reason I hope I do not have to move the engine.... I still have to cut the perches of the rear and weld the new ones one with the rear set at the proper pinion angle.. I have to get the body on first to establish my measurments..

BlueJeep · 11-02-2009, 12:07 PM

I'll wait and see what you can come up with, but I think you'll end up moving it back.

Are you using the 2wd rear axle? I'm using the 4wd one, and I'm still looking at spacers or different wheels to get the tires out farther to clear the bed sides. (I'm trying to get away with not tubbing mine, as I want to be able to haul plywood with it).

c10addict · 11-02-2009, 12:11 PM

I will probably have to move it but I am hoping not... I am running the 2wd rear with spacers...

Extended cab S-10's have two piece driveshafts, the regular cabs have one piece units.

1950 GMC · 01-08-2010, 03:30 PM

Now those must of been the days.... I wish we had that kind of art on our planes today, but of course someone would complain and we would have to take it off.... Thanks for sharing.
