Thank You. I'm starting to more and more now that I am starting to get a glimpse of the end product.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
I got the 22's from Coy's
The replacement 20's have not showed up yet. I got working on the new rear wheel wells. I wanted the wells to go all the way to the inside edge of the fleetside panels and as I raised the floor up 5-1/2" I figured the way I wanted to do it would be to make a wider set and trim the outer edge to match the panel. I used two OEM sets both which were rust free and had OG paint too.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
wheels look nice against the black, & hopefully you'll get the 20's soon...great job on the wheel tubs as well!

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Worked on the truck some more. Alot of the progress doesn't really show in the pictures anyway I'll post a bunch. I got the steering linkage roughed in and it will work with two joints. I am relieving the frame some and will reinforce it with some tubing in that area once the motor comes out. I also have replaced both front bed sills with 2x3 tubing and fooled with the rear wheel wells some more. I also have the motor 3/4" lower now as shown in one picture:

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Pictures of the driveshaft clearance to the sills are with the coilovers removed and the rear end housing tubes hard up against the bump stops.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
I'm starting to get excited about the look of this truck with the static drop and the 22" Coy's wheels.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
I like your build. Are you going to leave the exterior alone?

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Yeah, I do have to weld up the spots on the rear quarters where someone had mounted a set of stepside type back up lights. That and the wheel tubs will need some black paint. Very bottom of front fenders need some work too.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Thanks all for the comments. I have tracking numbers for my front 20" Coys rims to be here Friday. I want to get this thing on the ground and set the frame heights and take a look.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
Great build! I have a 65 swb/bbw also. I REALLY like the portorbuild items and the static drop on your truck! I am currently working on an LS1/T56 conversion on my 67 camaro otherwise I'd tear the truck down and get the same suspension you have, very nice! I guess I'll have to wait and install those pieces when my 3 year old son enters high school, good father son project:-) BOTH of your classic vehicles look GREAT!

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
FINALLY have all my Coy's wheels mounted and on the truck. 22x9 and 20x8.5 I just put the fronts on tonight but have not checked/set frame heights yet. I got the bullet center caps with no Coy's emblems, just smooth and I will install them in the morning. They match the ones on my 62 Impala SS. This weekend I will adjust the coilovers to ride height so I can check out the stance.

Re: DURG's Black 65 C10
This is at 5-1/2" in the front and 6-1/2" in the rear as measured from the floor to underside of main frame rails directly below front and rear cab mounts. I have sent Nate my upper control arm and rear four link arm angles to get a recomendation. I also have been working on the rear bed frame some more gearing up for the wood install.
