Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Nice job on the tubs. Did you have to get extra tubs for your filler piece? When I did mine I used scrap that I cut out of my inner bed sides when I raised the floor. I still need to finish welding my tubs, it's been over a year!

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
That's super clever I hadn't even considered that! I did buy two tubs for each side... I wish they still made CHUB TUBz in the stock wheel width

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
New tailgate fits alright! Working on the bed floor, rear tubs, and tailgate filler panel.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Where did you get the tailgate from?

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
How did it line up with the bed sides? I need a tailgate, not sure if I want to go the LMC cheaper route or pony up and buy an OG old metal tailgate.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
I can't complain with this one from LMC. I used the stock hinges and handle with it to make it feel more "solid" like the original

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Trying something different with the tailgate filler panel. This is an inner tailgate skin. It's gonna take a fair amount of fit and finish back here, along with installing the emergency shrader valves and remote battery posts.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Is that panel left over from the original tailgate? If so great re-use of material.

I might trim off the dented part near the bottom or tack some new sheet metal right there.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Got the rear tubs in place. I need to trim a little from the inside since they are rubbing the outer bedside skin. After this, I noticed the bedside rails at the top of the sides are bowed out on both sides.
Has anyone had to straighten this area? I'm thinking a long 2x4 and big hammer whacking towards the top of the rail will straighten it a bit.

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
That bed turned out great. Not sure about a 2x4 and big hammer, but maybe a piece of angle iron and some clamps to help bend it back in. Is it like that on both rails?

Re: 1970 C10 ChassisFab Build Thread
Nice work on this truck! What did you use to paint the engine? Did you use a clearcoat?
