Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Towing hitch and fuel pump installed. I'll need to make some custom bumper brackets now to clear the hitch brackets. Gonna have to get creative with the stock rear brackets. I wanted to make a universal class III adjustable hitch work for this application since it is so much cheaper than the only hidden tow hitch offered for these trucks. I have a flip license plate to hide the receiver when not towing.
Getting pumped to fly out to Dinos Git Down to get some much needed inspiration!

If I had to do the frame again I would have gotten it blasted and done a single stage or powdercoat. But budget is the goal here. I'd love to swap the whole frame out with a roadster shop frame in the future.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Dino's Git Down pics! The show was incredible, I've never seen such high quality builds. It's estimated that 9000 trucks showed up.
I got to meet Del again after visiting his shop in 2015 in Burbank. He's a super cool dude and his new 4x4 builds are off the charts.

Re-did the fuel line to my liking.
Waiting on some exhaust pieces to show up so I can finish!

Exhaust installed! Progress is made... Can't wait to roll this frame out of the garage and get going on bodywork.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Looking good. I believe the owner of the Burb is from Vegas. I thought he had a build thread on here. Thanks for the pics.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Got the flip up license plate installed! The hitch is totally hidden now and doesn't hang below the bumper.
This is a cheap universal hitch I bought off Amazon for $150 that I wanted to make work since the only other C10 hidden hitch available is like $400. It took a lot of work to mod the bumper brackets and drill some holes through thick steel, but I'm excited that it all worked out. Just needs some paint touch ups now.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Parking brake installed! This is just a cheap 330 lb-ft linear actuator that will be wired to a maintained parking brake button/switch and double pole relay.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Amazon states they are IP54 rated, which should be fine on the undercarriage of a vehicle. If you drive your truck in the rain though, a splash shield of some sort would help give some peace of mind.
