Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab

After almost a year in the making, I’ve decided to start a build thread on my 1966 Chevy short-bed step-side.

The thing that started the ball rolling was picking up this ‘66 C-10, the body is pretty dang straight and a little bit of light rust, but overall in great condition.


After deciding to go 4x4 with it we found this Mid 80’s 1-ton truck from which we stole the frame out from under it.


We picked up a 14-bolt with a Detroit locker for the rear and a Dana 60 with a limited slip up front from a CU/CV military vehicle


We did a disc brake conversion on the 14 bolt and added a little bling


On the Dana 60 we went with high steer arms and Hydraulic assist from PSC


We pulled the body off, torched the old brackets and random parts, and got the frame all cleaned up .


After painting and priming the frame with rattle cans we put on 8-inch lift springs up front and 4 inch in the back with a shackle reversal.
