Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
I know its not much, but I got the chassis back over to my garage so I can pull the motor and trans back out. Snapped a few crappy Iphone pics. In search of a decent body shop in Louisiana now, seems everyone is either too busy or doesn't want to mess with anything classic.
On the way home...had to stop and grab some chow...got tons of looks with just the chassis. The rear setup

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
Not a big update, but I did make a few changes to the rendering. I'll be running the Raceline Scoundrels with the knockoffs. Also updated the badges, the truck will be titled as a 66 now due to the new Big Back Window cab I picked up.

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
What body shop did you end up using? Did they give you an estimated time to complete it? Keep us posted on the process. Love the big back window.

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
Finally got some updates for you fellas!!
Decided to go with a 383 from Blueprint...she's putting down 450hp and 456 ft lb of torque...should be fun Some goodies came in from Flex A Lite Some ceramic coated block huggers from Sanderson Headers...these things are some of the best quality I've ever seen. Bodywork has finally begun on the cab....damn rust repair!!! The roof had a nice crease in it and kept tin canning...it has been a PITA The sheet metal floor is underway as well

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
Few more updates for you guys
Got the cab fitted on the frame and the old motor yanked as well as cut the factory passenger side of the firewall out to make way for a much smoother piece of metal Another shot.....BTW...the 87 belongs to one of our prospects Jeff Brignac, whom is also doing all the bodywork on my truck. Some bodywork that not many people will notice.....from factory GM just used spot welds and seam sealer right here.....not at all as pretty as this should be when done. Some more parts....Vintage Air Front Runner....oh and my daughters Thor toy!!! Cool little access panel we made to get to the accuair....the hinges were a bit tricky

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
Hey Chris!
Things are looking good! I don't know if you noticed in my thread, but I had a similar problem with my roof and the tin-canning effect....Funny thing, but I never noticed until I thought that I had it ALL fixed, that the driver's side rear roof & drip-rail were pushed down about 3/8" from the opposite side. Needless to say, total re-work with a sledge-hammer, and a body contoured 2"X12" placed strategically under the rear ledge of the roof fixed that, and also took care of all of the plastic work that I had labored so hard on!!! Oh, and I would like to make a correction to your post that shows the door-jamb work: GM had plenty of spot-welds, but on my cab, the only sign of seam sealer was in the rain-gutter. I must have spent $200 on epoxy seam sealer doing the door-jambs, doors, rain-gutter, cowl & firewall. As far as spot-welds go, the dash on the passenger-side had a boat-load of attempted welds along the lower windshield, & cowl that never took! The dash & glovebox must have rattled like hell!!!! LOL! Probably one of the reasons that mine is so rust free, nobody could stand to drive it!!! All of that is fixed now!

Thanks brutha, yeah that roof was no walk in the park.....lol. I did notice that in your thread, I spent about two hours reading through your whole thread the other day. Sick build by the way!!!!!! Our fix was about a million studs and a ton of pullin, but its worked out now. I just assumed about the seam sealer because mine had it all in the jams and all over the floor before I had it blasted. Someone before me must have thought it needed it.
