I had a '63 Chevy truck that the frame got ruined on because someone added a newer P/S set-up and shimmed the box like that...

Re: My build at 15 years old
If you still have that C-20 frame there, you could look at the factory indentation on it and try to duplicate it. That's what I did on my '67 C-30 when I added P/S.

Re: My build at 15 years old
hey man nice build! similiar to what me and my dad did! im 16 and we took my dads 67 c-10 and bought an old 4x4 frame from a local junkyard and stripped the frame, por-15 it, and converted the c-10 to a k-10. my truck has a 2 inch lift with 33's dual exhaust from the headers to some cherrybombs and out the back. after a year and a half the truck is finally done and im loving my ride! (well not the gas milage haha) have fun with your ride!

Re: My build at 15 years old
awesome story and updates thus far. Don't worry, I knew what you meant the first time I read "GRASS MONEY"... i did the same thing in my neighborhood when i was a teenager. Keep up the good work.
BTW, i thought you would've named your project JOE MAMA since it was written on the windshield in a few of the pics, |

Re: My build at 15 years old
I believe it was this tank.
http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/pa...rod/prd173.htm We bolted a flat bar across the frame and then bolted the two straps that run underneath the tank to the flat bar and the back of the frame. |

Re: My build at 15 years old
Yes we make a great team. I work a few hours during the day and when he gets home from work we are working until dark. It has been this way just about everyday for 2 1/2 months. But we love it!!

Re: My build at 15 years old
Much respect from here in Texas. Major undertaking with some amazing progress.
For some strange reason, I'm experiencing a premonition that we're all getting an inside look at the teen years of the POTUS in 2036.

Re: My build at 15 years old
You guys are making amazing progress. I don't think I could get a truck that far in 2 months ever! I built my first car with my dad; a 68 Chevelle. It took us 4 years but, I still have the car today and it feels so great getting behind the wheel with my dad.
