Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
Made some great progress on the truck the past few days! Started mocking up the bedsides and modifying the steel bed floor to fit. I quickly realized that i would rather have a wood floor for the look I want so like usual the plans changed again! Heres a few pics of the box sides finally mocked up and steel floor mock up. (Plus my helper for the day)

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
So after scrapping the steel bed idea i realized i needed to remake the front and rear bed supports and plan out the raised bed floor.

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
Building the rear support was tricky as I needed to taper the ends to fit into the odd shape of the box sides.

Front wasn't as bad but I did build in a little adjustment so I can level and set the box height. The last pic you can see I lined up the body line with my good ol laser level.

Nice work on those bed supports. I like the idea of using tubing.

More progress on the box! Trying to line up all gaps and getting everything to fit as it should before I tackle the raised bed floor.

Nice and low! I also decided to start fitting the side trim. I had to cut down the long box pieces and after that they fit pretty good. lol

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
Ok I made some huge progress on the truck the past few days! I managed to get the raised floor framed and mocked up. Set and located all the rivets to the inner box sides so most of the hard measurements are done!

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
Once the framing was done I started on the exhaust. I didn't see the need to get real crazy with the pipes I figured the less bends the better! I also put a bunch of v-band clamps in to make it easy to take in and out.

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
Took half it apart to finish some of the welds and thats it for now! Oh and I also picked out the wood (Douglas fur) since I like the wood grain and how it responds to stains as well as the strength of it.

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
Progress! I've put quite a bit of time into the raised bed floor and getting everything to fit and work properly the last few weeks so heres some updates. I laid the wood in to get a idea of the space below and everything seemed to have a pretty decent air gap around it ( Exhaust, Compressors). I also decided to slide a pipe into the front bed support to straighten it and also add some strength incase theres ever anything in the box that slides to the cab!

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
Tore everything down after that to finish up the bed floor and start to figure out and build the Center section that will be hinged and lift up on gas struts. You might also notice the front box support i decided to put a step notch into it incase of future driveshaft clearance?

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
I decided to start fitting the rear bumper and building the brackets to get it sitting where it needs to be. In the process I figured it was a good time to relocate the batteries to the rear. I've already been having a heck of a time dealing with them just behind the cab!

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
I also decided it was a good time to put in a hidden hitch!
I don't think i will ever tow anything but hey you never know so i cut up some plates and reinforcement brackets and got that all finished up! Last edited by 6t9camaro; 07-09-2020 at 10:50 AM. |
