Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
Hey man!! Finally another fellow turlockian
 we'll have to get the trucks together sometime, yours looks to be coming together very well. I remember fighting the front stance issues like crazy when I had my old 15x10's damn things would reak havoc on the inner fenders in dips

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
Yeah she gets around town quite a bit
and yes I installed some billet 20x9's that I machined myself at my last job and added the factory caps from the full wheel covers to give it some extra design since the all plain was boring to look at lol.

Love the stainless caps! Looks like you have a nice set of full wheel covers, too.
Really digging the plans for this truck. I'm in.

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
not a whole lot of progress lately, currently doing a couple truck part-outs for some more funds. i pulled the bed apart this week (temporary detour from the big block build). next step is por-15 on the rear chassis and then converting back to a wood bed. i'm thinking black wood, black steel strips, and stainless hardware.

I'm loving your truck man. The wheel/tire combo is awesome. Looking forward to seeing the big block in there. Keep the pics coming.

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
I'm going black wood too. Seems that it'll be the most durable finish. I had been thinking polished strips but that picture you posted might just change my mind!

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
thanks guys!
doing a little cleanup and sanding inside of the bedsides and spraying some rust protector in all the hard to reach places while it's apart. i used semi-gloss black on the inside bed panels, i like the way it's looking. good enough for me inside the bed.

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
You may be surprised when you drop in the big block. I took a 250 out of mine and put in a 402 with the stock 250 springs and it rides at the same height! I figured it would drop but it didn't. Good weight transfer when I put my right foot on the floor with the 6 cyl springs though. And it doesn't ride any rougher with the BB in there.

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
oem bed braces and mar-k bed strips are powdercoated (the strips turned out really nice). self-priming chassis paint on the frame. still haven't ordered the wood, but the rest is about ready to start re-assembly.
funny thing, i didn't realize my son was pumping my grease gun until i was uploading the second pic. i guess i need to check the tray under my tool cart...

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
been hard to find time to work on the truck lately, but i had a well timed break today while the sun peeked out. sanded down the new mar-k bed wood and put on the first coat of primer.
