Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Looks like a straight S10. My son wants a old s10... Not a lot to choose from out here. Keep up the progress.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Believe me, it's killing me to let it sit there. It's been tough to squirrel away any bux to get rolling again. Not that there's nothing I could be doing but I really want to get some color down. It's been hotter than the hubs of hell too! This S10 project has taken the C10's spot in the shop too. Makes it even tougher when I step outside and see it sitting there like that.
Got the motor planted on Saturday but sheesh, there was a lot of stuff to sort out. Exhaust basically finished last night, just a little wiring and plumbing to do then plant the dizz. Maybe fire it tonight! Talk about tires! That 2.8 and the lincoln locker was scrubbing them down fast. He'll be putting the hurt on them now man

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Looks like a clean s10. I daily drive a 92 s10 2.5 5spd standard short and it's the best truck I've ever owned.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Goodguy's was killer!! I really wished I had taken more photos and had more time to chat with some of the builders. I did however catch up with members Bomp, McMurphy, Captianfab and MarkB. Bomp and McMurph even swung by after the show to eyeball my dusty project and the fun dome!!
Thanks guys for taking the time and it was great to meet up. The Boy's rig is finally running half azzed, just needs some AF calibration and a leaky tailshaft fixed. We rolled that down to the show. It sounds tuff and really turns some heads! Lot's of Supers down there that probably deserve the best C10 of the show but here's my favorite for some obvious reasons.

I checked out that truck too. Really Clean and Mean.
Thanks for letting me check out the "Fun Dome" and checking out your totally awesome shop. Hopefully next year we all can show off our trucks. |

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
What would you all say if I said I was gonna pluck the cab and do a short box conversion? Project is moolah-stalled and it's something I could be working on for almost no bux. My bed is really nice except in front of the drivers wheel opening. WAY back when I was welding up camper tie-down holes that area was oil canning. I tried shrinking, effin around, etc... and ended up making a big azz slice down the side and welding it up. There's a BUNCH of filler in there that bugs the hell outta me anyways. I'd end up cutting most of that out by doing the conversion. Boy is freakin out but I think it'd be cool.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Yup, think I'm gonna go for it. I've seen a couple done up around here and it don't look too bad. I never did pull the cab off and it's gonna drive me nuts being all nasty under there so I may as well just go all the way. Driveline is actually another reason to do it. I had already lopped off the center carrier, planning to do a one-piece. That would've been on the long side, but doable. With the short bed the driveline will be a reasonable length. Time to get the shop cleaned up again and I'll start mapping it out.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
What's the best way to handle the cab off the frame? I've got the damn thing wet sanded, ready for paint and now I want to pull it off, roll it on it's back and finish the bottom. I've seen them setups using the cherry picker to get it off but i'm scared about effin up the pinch weld at the door openings. I need to be able to move it around too. How heavy you suppose it is? It's nothing but the cab, well plus pedals and inside wire harness.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
I use an A frame set up with straps and come-a-longs. Wrap the straps around the A pillars, lift, pull the bottom forward as much as possible and set it down gently. I also use some thick mats that I got long ago to use as cushions.
I prefer to flip the cab on its nose. I can do it all by myself even with the 5" stretch. Good luck. |
