Started reading your build and like the plan.
Great score on the donor truck too.
You made me wish I had friends with a crane.
Like the Christmas lights too.

Totally dig it man!

So I haven't had alot if time this past week to work on much, between overtime at work and school plays had more important things to do. I did however start to welding in my notch for the steering when my old welder crapped out on me, luckily tis the season for marked down prices and I scored a new Hobart so now I am ready to get back on it. I did have a little time today before having to stop and get ready to go to work, to weld up that notch and fill a few holes.

Nice welder!

Well I haven't worked on the frame that much, I did get the driver side notch finish and while crawling around on the floor I realized one thing...That I am to dang big (6'7" 300+) to be rolling a round in the floor for the rest of the frame work.. I cant remember but it seems like I saw this, on this forum but this is what I came up with..

moose1008 · 12-17-2013, 09:46 PM

As I was leaving for work today I found I had a box of goodies waiting for me on the porch, my dimple dies set from TRMcustoms. Anyway here is a preview of what the upper arms will look like..

codeJbird · 12-18-2013, 12:57 PM

Nice! Can't wait to see the final product. Subscribed

moose1008 · 12-19-2013, 08:36 PM

Wahooo! UPS finally got my parts to me, only took 14days to get from az to nc, so much for logistics. ..lol Can't wait to get back home and start mocking up and installing

Rusbuilt · 12-19-2013, 08:59 PM

Ok guys I have a question for everybody out there. You all know that I have a Cummins 6bt slated for this project, but after switching to a c10 frame I am worried about the frame handling the torque from the motor. I have been toying with the idea of boxing the frame but I don't know #1 if I really need to and #2 how much of the frame I need to box if I do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Bomp · 12-20-2013, 08:04 PM

Personally I'd box as much of the frame as possible but thats just me. I like to go totally over board.

HAHA! Yeah I can be a bit of a Captain Overkill myself, I was leaning toward as much as possible but I didn't want to take all of the flex out of the frame and cause breakage in some other area.

I really like your project! quick question. what is involved in using the c10 frame with the Porterbuilt control arms for the dually front wheels. Thanks

The front crossmembers are the same across the board.. c10 - c30 so a c30 member will bolt into a c10 frame or simply bolt the c30 arms onto the c10 crossmember

rwade · 12-08-2017, 02:15 PM

Moose, you still working on this thing?

Wade

rwade · 05-25-2018, 02:03 PM

Wondering if anyone knows what happened to this truck and moose1008? Did it get finished?

Wade

moose1008 · 12-21-2013, 09:30 PM

Hey guys been working on the truck for about half a day and got all the rivets knocked out and the crossmembers removed, then started mocking up the PB dropmember and notches.. stopping for the night and will jump back on it in the a.m. here are a few pics, hope everybody is having a great weekend

Rusbuilt · 12-21-2013, 09:56 PM
