Re: My 73 c10 project.....
well i got more work done on this thing not as much as i wanted to since i runned out of welding wire it always seems to happen right when you into getting stuff done i was gonna start welding my axle and all the brackets but insted i pretty much finished the back half part of the frame and i decide to cap my notch/bridge and i know no one is gonna see it under the bed so it may just a waist of time but i felt like doing it anyway here are some pics....
sorry for not updating thisd thing last week no reason really just being lazy ![]()

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
after doing some measuring i had to bring up the bowtie a couple inches so it can clear the axle while the truck was laid out and i got it all welded up from the bottom really good and i also welded the air tank brackets and i mounted it between the notch and the gas tank here is the idea....

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
After all that work, why put the floor in the bed? I wouldn't cover that up. It looks great.
