Re: Project: "ResuWrecktion" '71 Custom Deluxe C-10
Worked on the driver side shock mount, cut out the factory bump and welded the Porterbuilt bracket in place.
![]() My sway bar bushings arrived so I mounted the sway bar up and slapped the 15" rally wheels on it to move it around. ![]() Made some temporary air lines with ball valves and rolled it out of the garage. It's a small accomplishment but it sure felt good to see it together. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Got the frame turned around and rolled back inside, time to start the rear install. |

Your build looks awesome! I've done/am doing a lot of the same work to my truck. Keep up the good work

Re: Project: "ResuWrecktion" '71 Custom Deluxe C-10
Thanks. Yeah I've gone through your build thread and really liked a lot of the things you're doing so I'm trying to do a few of them on my build. You do some nice work too.

Re: Project: "ResuWrecktion" '71 Custom Deluxe C-10
Thanks and welcome aboard.
Went to the local metal shop today and got a couple of sticks of 2x2 tubing. Fired off a couple of emails to Porterbuilt with a couple of questions and got a reply within a few minutes confirming what I was thinking. With that boost in confidence I began jigging up the frame in my garage floor. Got it all level and started framing it out to hopefully keep everything in the correct place when I cut it for the huge notch. Had the latest C10 Talk podcast on repeat listening to the interview with Josh. Pretty happy with the progress. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project: "ResuWrecktion" '71 Custom Deluxe C-10
We've all heard of that point of no return, well I crossed it today. Measure, measure, check, grind, cut and tack. That's pretty much how my day went, there's still a ton to do but I'm up for the challenge.
![]() Notches are tacked in and the bridge is bolted up. Put a brace under the notches to keep things in place. ![]() Now I get to start working the frame rails in and getting the transition pieces in place and boxed in. ![]() |

Re: Project: "ResuWrecktion" '71 Custom Deluxe C-10
Half of the rear notch is tacked in place. I just didn't like the looks of how the frame rail has that factory sweep outward and the Porterbuilt 24 X 15 kit is obviously tucked in for wheel clearance. A few installs that I've seen online, just angled the transition pieces back in toward the notches. So visually you still see the slight bulge outward then tucking back in, I wanted a more natural look, like the notch was meant to be there. Not an afterthought...
So here's the misalignment before I tweaked it in. ![]() After pie cutting the upper and lower flanges and moving the rail in. ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project: "ResuWrecktion" '71 Custom Deluxe C-10
Thanks Casey.
Burnet, Tx is about an hour northwest of Austin, it's a little town with a couple of stop lights. No I haven't bolted the hood on yet. I got hung up with front fenders on back order for so long that I just tore the whole truck apart. I'm still not sure that the hood is even straight after it was wrecked. There is some minor rust in the support channels too, so I haven't even figured that situation out yet. I may even just go with a cowl hood??? I won't make it to that one but I will be going to the one in Conroe in November. I work in Beaumont during the week so Conroe is on my way home Fridays. On the top header of the thread there is a little thing titled "Thread Tool", clip the little arrow at the side of that. It will bring up a drop down menu and you can choose to "Subscribe to thread". You may already be subscribed to any thread you post in. If you get an email notifying you of my reply, then you're all set and will get an email each time an update is posted here. Thanks for the kind words. |

Re: Project: "ResuWrecktion" '71 Custom Deluxe C-10
Hey Blown06 any chance you still have the shock locators you cut out? I need one for my passenger side? Message me if you do, it would save me a ton of time!

Re: Project: "ResuWrecktion" '71 Custom Deluxe C-10
Thank you.
I'll check when I get home Friday night, I'm pretty sure I tossed them already but there's a chance they are still in a scrap pile. If I have them I'll PM you then. |

Re: Project: "ResuWrecktion" '71 Custom Deluxe C-10
boostedc10, I looked for those shock mount cutouts but I had already tossed them out, sorry.
Got an order of AN fittings, had a plastic organizer so I dumped them in there so hopefully I don't lose any of them. We all know they aren't cheap.. ![]() Got home Friday night and started welding the notch, my wife wanted a couple of action shots. lol ![]() Started working in the passenger side frame rail and transition piece. You can see how the factory rail kicks out. ![]() Pie cut on the upper and lower flange. ![]() Pushed the rail over and put the transition piece on and clamped everything in place. ![]() ![]() Now I have many hours of welding to do. ![]() ![]() ![]() Working on the boxing plate on the driver side. ![]() Still have a ton of welding but it's looking good, this Portebuilt stuff is well worth the money. ![]() |

Re: Project: "ResuWrecktion" '71 Custom Deluxe C-10
Hey when you get ready to finish your bed, take a look at my rear wheel tubs. I've been working on a new mold for some super large ChubTubz. These are designed to cover 24x15's. Let me know what you think.

It feels like you put down 30ft of weld and ground 28ft back off.
