my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

[chad64chevy]

sorry guys had a really long week! anyways here are some pics I promised,

[chad64chevy]

here are some pics of the repop passenger fender, I'm fixing it with my old fender! the front panel where the light housing bolts to is the only problem with the whole fender everything else lines up great!! so I have cut it all out to add my patch and cut everything to line up before I weld it all in

[chad64chevy]

i'll get pics this weekend of the driver door and tailgate I got to, there used but in way better shape then what I had in the first place

[chad64chevy]

while I got my tci outlaw shifter and my two 3" borla pro-xs mufflers in today! I'm not sure if the motor I have in my truck will last very much later in my truck as I has been thinking of a carbed 408 ls engine, or a turbo ls engine!! ordered my vhx gauges today they will take 6-10 weeks before they get here!! here are some more pics!!

Dude!
Seems like you are buying some cool $h!t!
I can't wait to see it get installed!

[clemdaddy]

agree with modges... you're getting the good stuff.

give me a call or pm when you can, i'd be glad to help you out with that door.

hope dad is feeling better, i also smoked for years, back then it was thought to be cool and not dangerous. now-a-days it's odd how many still smoke even knowing the dangers. tell your dad to put them away for the grandkids and maybe even great grand ones...

thanks clem, i'll be heading your way about 8am, so I should be there around 10am!

yea, my dad has cut down on the smoking went from 1-1.5 packs a day to just 5 cigs a day! it's a start, the wife got a lil emotional with him and it opened his eyes

so I got my 45* degree 3" exhaust and the tips I got were not long enough only 7.5" long so I ordered some that are 18" long did a lil mock up lying it on the floor to find that out! the good thing is, the exhaust tips will not be wasted they will fit are Tahoe and my work truck! still need to buy the exhaust hangers, I'm wanting on the straight pieces, exhaust tips and the header collector flange to be tig welded on to the straight pieces before I can install them for final mock up

[clemdaddy]

hey chad,
here's pics of the doors we talked about. I think they're pretty good, no rust, no big dents, not even the tomahawk from a weak door stop...
let me know if interested.

[chad64chevy]

doors look good, clem sent you a pm! look better then what I took you, lol

[chad64chevy]

WELL, progress is progress!!

1) I got my driver side cab corner patch done!
2) Got the back of the cab stripped done using 3m stripping wheels, the green around the glass is already been stripped down and self-etching primer was sprayed on!
3) then today I put some body filler on the back of the cab, still got to sand it all down but getting closer!

[flips72]

thanks jeff, glad to see you on here! and yes the new parts; it's funny my 5yr. old son can shift the shifter thru all the gears perfect but my wife can't!! she says if she ever has to move the truck for some reason she will get him to shifter it for her, lol!!!

[chad64chevy]

got a package in the mail the other day! wasn't expecting anything or so I thought, lol! don't know how I can think you for these!! also really enjoyed are talk on the phone, thanks, mike! still can't figure out how you got my address, lol!! had to put craftsman wrenches up there with them cause that's what they truly are, top notch craftsmanship!!

[chad64chevy]

some weld porn, lol!! had a guy at work weld my 304 ss header flange to some 3" 304 ss tubing I bought for my exhaust! came out really good I think, now I need to buy my exhaust hangers now that I know what ones I need to buy an how many!!it's tig welded on the inside as well, also got my exhaust tips done to, so the exhaust is all done but the hangers

[Ta2Don]

Awesome!

[Modges'66]

Awesome welding right there!
I am pretty good at a lot of things, but it looks like your buddy is EXCELLENT at his welding skillz!!!
That is some premium work!

thanks mike, he told me Friday if I want them to look any better he would redo them and make them were you can't see where he started an stopped! he stopped three time per flange! I told him they look good to me and no one is going to crawl under the truck to complain about the welds, so I told him I'm not worried about them!

[chad64chevy]

WOW!! It's been a while since I posted anything on here about the truck! but I've been working a lot out of town, two weeks outside of dodge city, Kansas an up to Colby, Kansas, two weeks in Malvern, Ark. an Hot Springs! then spend another two and a half weeks in Cushing, OK. and Stroud, Ok. all for work! I wish I could say I spend all that time on vacation but it wasn't! I was able to come home every two weeks or so for the weekend before heading out again! the wife didn't like me been gone that much but I got to pay the bills, lol!!

so some pics of the wheels that have came in, got to narrow the rear 3.75-4 inches each side and make some new lowering blocks cause the e-brake cable would be at almost the u-bolt for the rearend! still waiting on the gauges to come in, those babies are just about the most expensive part I have bought for the truck as of now! tires will be the next, then paint, lol!! anyways enough talk on to the pics

[greg65]

[chad64chevy]

I want to give a special thanks to clem for doing my doors for me, an I'm so grateful for everything and for the back glass thank you!!

[Modges'66]

Chad,
Those doors look like new, but I know the story behind them!
What a great score for you...
Very nice gauges also, those will look sweet!
