LOL wow I've never seen trailing arms that far gone.gonna test out the new cpp tubular arms?

1lowdiesel · 03-27-2007, 01:09 PM

na prolly either gonna link it or just use the one's of mine when i link it. there fine or now though just to push the truck around the yard. i'll prolly pull the motor this week along with the cab and bed. i'm gonna put the motor from mine in there cause it runs great.

1lowdiesel,

Looks like a nice father/son project....and I'm really curious to see how you tackle to roof replacement...I have a decent cab with a so-so roof..and I also have a better roof section....so I really want to see how it goes for you.

Also...is that a 91 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser in the background in the one pic?

Sean

1lowdiesel · 03-27-2007, 01:54 PM

i'm figuring on cutting the whole top off posts and all.

and yea its a customs cruiser...you want it????

1lowdiesel · 04-09-2007, 05:05 PM

been a while since i got to work on the truck, but i did get a little done sunday.

then gave my dad a glimpse of what the new rocker would look like. he keeps asking me "are you sure this isn't too much for you"...lol

68shortstep · 04-09-2007, 05:13 PM

I'm surprised nobody's gone here yet: "That'll probably Buff-Out !!!!"

That cab might have been the pioneer of "flow through ventilation....."

LOL - no offense.

Looks like you're off to a good start.

1lowdiesel · 05-03-2007, 03:21 PM

ok little update... decided to just scrap the cab and use the blue one i have, figured it would be easier to just redo the rocker than fix this swiss cheese mobile. i'm giving him my bed cause i picked up some SB sides from bigblockorange that i'm gonna use on mine. got everything stripped down and ready to go off to the sandblast man.

hey it's the only place i had to put it when once i brought mine home

poor little amigo.

Rollie396 · 05-03-2007, 03:38 PM

LMAO love the space saving idea!

ND_guy · 05-03-2007, 07:25 PM

Are those the optional light weight trailing arms? I want to get a pair they must be half the weight of regular trailing arms.

Looks like a fun project, and I am glad to see you changed cabs.

randomhero472 · 05-03-2007, 08:08 PM

man.. lots of rust, you've got your work cut out man

vented to run cooler

looks like you have a full plate... How did those seats turn out? I finally got my frame painted and am picking up the rest from the blaster tomorrow.... Hope to be a rolling chassis by the end of the month...

*72CSTC5* · 05-03-2007, 09:42 PM

That there is RUSTY sir!!! Those are the light weight racing rear trailing arms and cab!! Glad to see you decided to use the other cab. Looking good.

seanu · 05-03-2007, 10:10 PM

lol..no I don't need another Custom Cruiser...I just got mine "somewhat" finished...

Here's my CC...

67cst · 05-03-2007, 10:31 PM

good looking project, what the heck is that thing towing the trailer? ive never seen anything like it up here north of the boarder

sniperpix · 05-04-2007, 12:56 AM

hey 1low i am having my old 68 c10 stepside restored, its in the poconos area of east PA, around stroudsburg, do you know where i can get a "doner truck" like the 1 you got ?

I need this stuff

radiator

trailing arms

rear cross supports

driver door

email me sniperpicks@gmail.com

my friend is doing the restore and he can do a pickup, i have the engine off this truck to trade for parts i need, it has about 33,000 original miles on it, i am the 3rd owner, it has been in my family since new purchase in 67

1lowdiesel · 05-07-2007, 10:38 AM

mike the seats worked great they bolted right in. i looked at some pics of the frame it came out real nice. i'm goinna use the same stuff on my dads.

67cst it's an isuzu amigo.

sniper i'll have to check and see what i got i might have a door, i too need a radiator so sorry there. as for the trailing arms i'm gonna make new ones out of dual 1 1/4" tubing side by side that'll look pretty sweet.

1lowdiesel · 06-25-2007, 12:02 PM

update time!!

ok this weekend caught a huge brake. i got an 01 suburban w/ 70k on it from a friend of mine so i'm gonna use the whole interior and my doors on my fullsize.

as for my dad's what i'm gonna do is just take the body off shorten the frame and plop the c-10 cab and bed on that frame. also i'm gonna try and see if i could put the dash in there as well. i'll have some pics tomorrow.

1lowdiesel · 10-22-2007, 11:46 AM

finally got power in my shop so got to get to work on the cab and bed. started cutting down the bed and finishing up body work on the cab. also got the frame cut down and partially welded up.

1lowdiesel · 10-22-2007, 11:46 AM

72BlckButy · 10-22-2007, 03:15 PM

1lowdiesel · 10-26-2007, 11:48 AM

1lowdiesel · 01-25-2008, 04:37 AM

ok sorry guys but i gotta sell, no time and lost space forces sale. $3000 obo for everything.

Angelse68cal · 01-25-2008, 05:21 AM
