Re: Owen's C10
...this morning I went to look at a motor, and ended up buying it....02 5.3l with supposedly 177k. I forked out $450 and brought 'er home, stripped it down and cleaned it up some..

Re: Owen's C10
Very cool project and beautiful work!
Jealous of your welding skills ... I'm about 25% welder and 75% grinder :-) Will be a huge wow factor when you're done. Guess we can both safely say that Bill's in Oshawa is our saviour! |

Re: Owen's C10
I like how you made the front frame rails match. It looks great. I plan on doing the same to mine.

Re: Owen's C10
What thickness metal did you use for the frame work? I tried to use some left over crossmember metal but it was a different thickness so I'll have to buy some.

Re: Owen's C10
I think it was 3/16"....it was a bit thicker but I kept the top flush and ground most of it down...

Re: Owen's C10
removed the manual steering box, linkage, and sway bar...(I put the sway bar on the '69) and got the front cross member unbolted and ready to come out....I'm going to be using a PB drop member

Re: Owen's C10
....cut the rivets for the rad support mounts, and made some 3/16 plates. I'm going to make a tubular cross member that bolts on with the mounts.

Re: Owen's C10
I've been super bored lately with the holidays, so I spent some time in the shop getting caught up on some things that were bugging me....pancaked the front cross member...cause I always wanted to try it, and I finished the other front cross member, and shaved the hole in the firewall where the wiring went through....

Re: Owen's C10
Looking great man ! Love you attention to detail. Where you gonna route you wiring through the cab at ? I'm about to shave that hole also and was thinking of putting it under the seats. I've always loved those factory 454ss wheels

Re: Owen's C10
I think I paid over $500 in shipping. I seriously debated driving to Arizona to pick it up.

Re: Owen's C10
Killer score on the Porterbuilt gear! Their quality is top notch in my opinion.
Oh and dang shipping is a painful part of our builds.... |
