Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Nothing worth taking pictures of but I have been doing some work. Mainly just additional bracing and welding of the new bed support frame. I did find a local sawmill that has cut me some oak boards for my bed. I ordered as basically just boards 8" wide expecting to saw them to around 7" wide for installation. I ordered non polished stainless strips as I don't want them to stand out too much against everything else that is just "driver' condition. I don't know what the oak boards will look like but he is doing 12 boards 8" wide planed down to 3/4" thickness for 54.00 I think for that price they should be good enough. I hope to pick them up tomorrow or some night this week.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
I also ordered an Ididit steering column that is 4" shorter than stock in hopes I can get away with just two single u-joints and not have to run a bearing and third or multiple piece u-joint. 3 to 4 week lead time on that.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Also if it stops raining anytime soon, I plan on rolling the truck out, turning it around, so I can install (mock up) the motor and tranny. Once that is in I plan on installing the Porterbuilt center cross member and bracing it back to the frame where the 4 link forward mount is. It will all be bolt in so it can be removed if necessary.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Got the truck turned around and I put a 327 small block and turbo 350 tranny in for mockup. I have a ton of room between the pan and crossmember and also between the balancer and rack. even an 8" balancer could go down an inch. I talked to Dave at Porterbuilt and they are going to try and hook me up with a different set of truss plates to lower the motor 3/4". That will keep the bottom of my oil pan sump even with the bottom of the crossmember.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Its coming along great and your Impala looks awesome! Looks like Porterbuilt does some quality work also. Reading this build has convinced me on doing a coil over setup. Subscribed!

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Thanks. I did get my 20" front wheels from Coys. Both had damaged lips so I have to get them replaced. Supposedly stock on them in Cali and they will ship next week. The 22" rear wheels are stuck in New Jersey with UPS somewhere due to the bad storm. I got and installed the new lower motor trusses from The fine folks at Porterbuilt, so the engine sits 3/4" of an inch lower now. This also moved the passenger side header away from the cowl a bit so all looks good there. I got my 2x3 rectangular tubing to make the new cross sills too and my Lokar shifter is due in tomorrow as well.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
That is what I have. Only pix are the ones I have on here. When I get the wheels and tires mounted, I will take some at ride height.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Are you still running the 6 lug or did you convert to 5? I am doing the C6 ZO6 brake conversion on mine with 5x.4.75 bolt pattern and plan on running a zo6 offset wheel (to match my Z) does it look like your grand sport wheels would fit ok in your fenders or do you think it would need spacers?

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Talked to UPS customer service today. My 22" rear wheels are stuck in Jersey at the UPS hub due to hurricane Sandy. UPS place there is open with a skeleton crew as very few of the workers are showing up due to the storm. They really got hammered hard. She said maybe by the end of next week I'll get the wheels.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
I just love the looks of all that Porterbuilt engineering. Your truck is coming along beautifully. And that floor hump install does indeed look factory. Nice work!

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Thanks. I voted for your truck on Chevy Talk calendar contest today. My 62 Impala SS got second last year and was the month of February. I thought that was cool as the car and me both turned 50 and February was my birthday month.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
I ended up getting the 22's for the rear from Coys and got the Nittos mounted on them. Still waiting on the replacement 20's for the front.
