Looks like the wheels fit good....coming along sweet !!

protrash64 · 01-24-2009, 02:14 PM

........subscribed, cool truck. Id try the 60 front while its all apart and at least check it out. Worth a day and a can of WD40 just to see!!!

smashingchuck · 01-27-2009, 11:51 AM

very cool build. Can't wait to see more progress on this one!

daveodom · 02-01-2009, 06:44 PM

Made some progress over the weekend. Got my front cab mounts done and the tubing connecting the front and rear of the cab. Enough to remove the temporary frame work and mock up my bench. The headers will have to be modified a bit, but are a good start. Nice day here in SW Missouri so I rolled the truck out for some sun and a chance to clean the shop out.

I was inspired about a week ago looking at everyones progress.. esp yours. I purchased a shed for the back yard 10x12 to put all of the stuff in it and get my garage back so that I can work on my truck again.
Nice work..... can't wait for more pics.

CUSTOM DELUXE · 02-01-2009, 07:05 PM

Good to know that I'm helping out my fellow truck builders

I've been on my neighbor for awhile now. He's got a 56' F@#d 1/2 ton in his shop. I kept telling him my Chevy will be out long before his.. Gets him to work on it once and a while

**ChiefRocka** · 02-01-2009, 08:45 PM

That thing is cool looking bro...good job !!!

I am so ready to trick out somebodys truck....just waiting for someone to come to me and say "Do it!!"

I have my 63, but i don't think I want to go that route.....just keep it ghetto

I originally wanted to keep the truck rough and mostly stock. Then, I started taking it apart and saying I'll do this and this. Before you know it.... I think all my projects end up like this. I just can't leave it well enough alone!!

aggie91 · 02-02-2009, 01:46 PM

Your project is really looking good. I like the look of the Titan wheels. What size tire did you use?

Can't wait to see more progress.

smashingchuck · 02-01-2009, 08:40 PM

Isn't it sweet to roll your project out into the sunshine once in a while?

Also gives you the opportunity to actually stand back and check it out... can't do that in the shop! Looking good man I like where this is heading!

joe231 · 02-01-2009, 09:22 PM

nice work man!!
keep it up!!!

Got them off e-bay for $340 for the set w/o shipping. (shipping was around $100) Guy was switching to chrome versions and was selling the stockers.

MrPhotographer06 · 02-03-2009, 03:49 PM

wow.. you got them for a steel.. haha ..no pun intended

daveodom · 02-03-2009, 09:35 PM

Got some buddies over yesterday and moved the bed into the garage. Took all the wood and fenderwells out. Sat it down and

Also mocked up the steering column and bench height. Next is bench mounts and bed work.

joe231 · 02-03-2009, 09:53 PM

dang!
that baby is low

those rear 20's are playing peek-a-boo

Dadsredwagon · 02-03-2009, 10:12 PM

looks good, educate me how everything lines up on z'ing the frame looks liek it bolts back to the stock locations?

thx

protrash64 · 02-03-2009, 11:25 PM

By the looks of that bedfloor, I wouldnt carry too mant sheets of drywall back there

Well I z'd the front 4" and the back 10". The back still has all of its bed mounts in the correct relation, just 10" too high. I will be moving the floor up 10" and redo the edge around the bed to bolt back onto the stock cross members. On the front I will have to make a new core support bracket off the frame to line back up in the new position.

coolhardware · 02-05-2009, 12:01 AM

Yo Dave! John told me about you posting your project on here. "Carla Marie" is awesome

! I really enjoyed all the photos and it looks like you're doing a superb job on the project. Keep up the good work amigo!

daveodom · 02-20-2009, 10:52 PM

Got the front clip off the c60 and set it in place on my c10. Plan to graft the front of the c60 fenders to the rear of my c10's. The flares are a bit much, but I really like how tall the grill surround is. Haven't seen a 2 ton front end this low to the ground!

Don't know if there will be much room for a bumper though..

joe231 · 02-20-2009, 10:59 PM

that looks very cool!!
you don't need a bumper, just smooth the bottom and call it good
