Father/Son/Friend 63 C10 Build

[cla5675]

Hey, all. I got involved in a build on a 63 C10 with a friend, who wasn't sure he wanted to spend the money on a rust free Texas C10 Custom with the big back window. So, I decided to split the build with him and flip the truck. When I told my father about the build he wanted in as well.....first time we'll be doing a father/son build. Anyway, we picked up the truck locally in early April and we've almost got the complete chassis/drive train mocked up. Just waiting on the front brakes/spindles and steering components that are on backorder from CPP. We are using all CPP suspension, steering and brakes. Everything has bolted on easily so far. Still have to fab a new panhard frame mount as the CPP kit is only for 65-72 frame mounts. No big deal. We are also using a 5.3 and 4L60E from a 2003 1500 Suburban 2wd with 135k miles on it. We'll be leaving the patina on the outside but the chassis and inner fender panels will all be getting black SPI Epoxy. We also picked up some 2008 Tahoe 6-way power seats from the same yard we got the motor/trans. All in all, the build is coming along nicely. Building a Chevy truck seems to be a lot easier than building the 60's Ford cars I'm used to taking on.....at least in terms of parts availability and pricing. Enough talk. Time for pics!!
