Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
well I'm still alive! I just been working way too much, I have got a couple small things done! I've blasted both cowl corners, all bumper brackets, all of the wing vent stuff, e-brake handle stuff, plus the bracket that goes under the truck for the e-brakes! i'll get pics tomorrow of that stuff, I started building my own trailering arms out of 2x3 tubing an 3/16" plate! I got the idea from other forum members! here are the two threads I have put together a lil this and a lil that!
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=214975 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...+trailing+arms once I buy the two ballistic joints, i'll pics some more pics of them!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
ok so I have been busy with work, family and since my wife is going to have a new baby girl Tuesday the 19th. if her water don't break first, not a lot of truck time having to get the house ready for the new addition!
but I do have some stuff done I wanted to get my tci shifter up of the floor so I'm not leaning forward to shifter! so I made a bracket an took two gussets I made, tig welded them together! I think that it's different an another item I made, not of the shelf bought! I also used a plasma cutter to make some side gussets for my trailing arms an tig welded those up as well! I'm going to pie cut the very ends were the ballistic joints go to have a tampered look an not a boxed look! hope to have that finished this next week an have another update of them finished next weekend! anyways on to the pics!! first set of pics is the shifter bracket I made

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
these pics are the gussets an after tig welding! I'm going to add a 2.5-3" strip of 3/16 to only the top! kind of like what P.O.L have done with there trailing arms! I still need to cut up some metal to make the plates for my rear sway bar to attach to these and also the rear brake cable bracket

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
I know I wished you congratulations on FB but after reading your comment I thought I'd reply on here as well . I too wish we were closer . I think it's safe to say Rian probably feels the same way .

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
PS
Collected a rear loadbed cross brace from Martin that he got off Del's truck last year. My truck is missing some braces. Anyway, Martin showed me this pic, of myself and Chad on the rear bed of Clem's flatbed truck up in the Ozarks when we were in the USA. I had not seen it before, and seem pretty relaxed and happy there. It reminded me of just how great this trip was. All the incredible people we got to meet on the trip and also those we missed out spending time with like Donnie Johnson, or meeting like Steve in Arkansas. Possibly the best time of my life......... Maybe time for a "Replay"

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
thanks for the picture Rian! looks like we had just got into the yard to start looking!
So yesterday and todays progress! I cut out the inner upper windshield piece, and made the patch, then started welding it in! I also wanted to throw in a pic of what the shifter bracket with the bowtie cutouts will look like, and the position of the shifter when done! Yes it is leaning forward

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
I have also bought some stainless steel drink holders, an plan on doing what forum member MisterC did with his buddy bucket seats by adding them to the back of the jump seat! will have that update when I get the seat upholstery! the blue houndstooth will blind in with my blue carpet! I have also bought a extra yard of gray vinyl to make sure the armrest, sunvisors, and half wrap steering wheel all match
buddy bucket seats are the 67 style cause they flip forward and I won't have to mod. them still trying to figure out how I can have 4 point harness seat belts and buddy bucket seats
