The guys at the shop are moving right along on the bodywork...the passenger side needed a good bit of work.

My wiring kit came in from American Autowire....super nice stuff

severedchris · 08-28-2014, 03:50 PM

The guys at the shop are really kicking butt these past few weeks

The start of a smooth firewall

Wheels and tires came in, got the Nitto 420s mounted up...love the tread pattern on these. Rear wheels don't quite fit though so we have to widen the tubs and narrow the rear end

Here's a measurement of the original style tubs.

A measurement on the new tubs we welded in

One more

Love those wheels man. I hope to see this one at last resort?! Looking good

Modges'66 · 08-28-2014, 09:06 PM

Chris,
The tubs still look kinda narrow...What wheel/tire width are you runnin on the rear?
Is your tire gonna go outside of the inner box-sides?
My tub is 13-1/2" wide & I have only about a 1/2" of clearance between the tire and the inner side of the tub with 315's, but the outer is also inside of the box-side.
Your wheels look awesome by the way!
I probably would have went with that style of wheel if I could have got the width & backspacing that I needed....Definitely sweet!

Modge...I have 13" between the outside of the bed and the inner part of the tub...and my measurement from outside edge to outside edge on my tires is 11.25", so itll be close but the dude narrowing the rearend is a machinist so hopefully he is precise....thanks for the compliments

Modges'66 · 09-02-2014, 07:28 PM

Chris, my wheel is 11.5" wide which makes it 12.5" wide across the outside, and my tubs are 13.5 wide across the inside...Add to this the fact that my rear-end is all fresh and I didn't want to re-address it, or the costs of buying new axles...again!
My wheels are spaced to be within the INNER box side and the tub...
I didn't want the possibility of the return lip on the tub to ever come in contact with the tire, and I am running stock bed height/tub configuration (except for width).
I decided that is was a better choice to pay a little extra to buy a custom offset wheel to get the width & backspacing that I needed than to narrow the rear-end, and Travis at Pro-Performance really pulled this off for me!
Either way, the placement of the wheel was critical!

Dinos63 · 09-03-2014, 01:53 AM

man there is aton of nice work done.. dig it

Modge your absolutely right man...this is why I ordered my wheels with a custom offset as well, however I went off of what Raceline recommended for an bagged 66 C10. Needless to say they were about an 1 5/8 off on their calculations.....they did offer to fix it but it was my choice to stick with the bigger lip and narrow the rearend.

Ahhh, I see!
The rears will look cooler with a bigger lip, IMO!

severedchris · 09-03-2014, 06:23 PM

That is Toooooooo Cool!
It's gonna be a real hard act to keep that quality level on the rest of the build, But I am gaining a great confidence level!
This will probably end up making mine look somewhat shade-tree!!
This is gonna be a great build to watch, and progress!!!
Great work/foresight!

severedchris · 09-09-2014, 10:00 AM

Sooo...we got some stuff accomplished over the weekend...here ya go!

We decided that the last firewall piece we made was inferior compared to the rest of the truck......so we threw it away and made a new one...4 times...lol...this is what we ended up with....and we are aware that the PB hinges are all wrong...were fixing that this week

I spent a few hours taping up the finned aluminum dress up goodies

We got the awesome Vintage Air Front Runner setup installed....more work than you would think.

The Sanderson Ceramic Coated Block Huggers....these things are really nice compared to stuff I've used in the past

Frame Prepped for Paint

Boom!!!...All done

A few detail shots

Thunderwagen · 09-09-2014, 02:24 PM
