Thanks again Mike! I am doing some build research for the front of this thing and I have a couple questions about some tubz.... I'm not gonna be layin frame, I'm gonna end up with around a 5" drop up front, hopefully with a Mild c/o dropmember , but I don't want to narrow the track width 3", I noticed somewhere Nate saying that the mild c/o member would only narrow it .5" total, so that's what I'm shootin for. Anyway, what's the widest tire you think would fit under there with a set of slosh tubz and still be 100% driveable? I realize there's a ton of variables there, and i don't have all my details worked out yet either, just curious about your thoughts. Any chance a 275/40/20 (28.66 tall, 10.5"-11" wide) could fit under there if i nailed the backspacing just right and not have any rubbing issues while driving?

Re: '67 C10 Shorty Stepside

Phew! Been a while since i updated. I kinda got sidetracked on a different, but very related project (more on that in a bit). I have the driver's side pretty much done, just a little filler sanding & a couple little things left on this side, Then I'm gonna coat the floor, inner firewall, and underside of the cab in Al's Liner before moving on to repairing and re-installing the dash. I also built a mount and got my fuse & relay block setup how it's going to be. I wanted to get that done before I coated it and put the dash back in. Also filled the filler neck hole as I won't be needing that anymore. Hanging the door fender & wiper cowl to check the gaps sure was a nice bit of inspiration. I haven't seen a truck of my own like that in a while!

Re: '67 C10 Shorty Stepside

Here's what I got sidetracked on. I decided to venture into building my own powdercoating oven. I plan on doing a build thread on this guy in the tools & shop forum section later, so I'll keep it short here, but feel free to ask if you have any questions. The frame is built out of 1x1 and 1x2 14ga tubing, and the top is a solid piece of 1/8" plate, so it doubles as a nice sturdy workbench as well. It's insulated with 2" rigid fiberglass insulation & is heated by 3 oven elements. Total power is 9410 watts. Heats up to 450 in a little over 10 min.

I bought a cheap little blast cabinet as well, which I didn't have high expectations for, but i'm less than impressed with it overall. It will get the job done, but "ya get what ya pay for" holds true 100%.

I am using an Eastwood dual voltage gun & Eastwood powders for now. I'll look into other options as I go on, but those seemed to work well as of last night when I coated the first pieces. I have some learning to do to get top quality results. But i'm satisfied with how it turned out for a first timer that doesn't really know what he's doing!

Re: '67 C10 Shorty Stepside

Here's a couple pics of how the parts I coated last night turned out, and a pic of all the brown truck goodies I've collected over the last couple months. I plan on pulling this thing completely back apart after I get all the body work done on the cab. Like i have stated, I'm not completely happy with the processes and plans my past self had, so I'm going to take some backward steps & tear it back down & get the frame powdercoated and do the suspension work I really want to do.

Brown truck goodies:

ECE Tubular Trailing Arms
Moser M9 9" Fabricated housing, braces, & ends
Boyd welding aluminum fuel tank
TSM Watts link setup
ECE Axle saddles
ECE Transmission Crossmember

Re: '67 C10 Shorty Stepside

Heck Yes! I'm a little disappointed I didn't get to see any of the new parts last night though...

That powdercoating setup is SWEET! I wish I had some stuff I needed done right now. Maybe we'll do a console for my truck before too long...
