Re: 1970 Longbed Build
First time father on the 11th with twin boys. The little guys were 5 weeks early and we now have both of them at home.
Just finished their first ride tonight - |

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
Thanks guys.
While the boys sleep during the day, I'm able to sneak out to the shop and fill molding holes on the C10. Making some progress, little by little. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
Little by little adds up. Wait til you two little helpers, then it becomes real fun.

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
During the boys' 3 hour naps this weekend, I was able to fill all of the molding holes.
Should get the rear 8" wheels mounted this week, and off to paint. |

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
This project build was a great read. Learned a lot of how a project like this can change directions. Clean looking ride bud.

You're right about it changing directions. Believe it or not I actually learned a lot about myself with this build too. Seeing all of the big wheel trucks on this site, I assumed that's what I wanted. But, it's not for me. I don't like the attention, and will be a traditional hot rodder from here on out. I think. She's off to paint, and then will be listed on eBay for the next guy (or gal) to finalize. Posted via Mobile Device Last edited by sighlurr; 01-31-2013 at 05:07 PM. |

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
Well happy Friday people!!
Threw a rod this morning, so there's that. I'm going to pull the 350 out of the new truck "Double Stuff" and put in the white truck. The 350 in the new truck has a ton of pop and runs like a dream. Then I'll need to order something for the new truck. I'm thinking a 383 from West Coast Engines out of Reno. Stay tuned. And know, you're have a better day than me! |

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
Awesome truck man and being a lwb makes it better. What did you do with those impala caps? They would look good on my wagon.

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
Seeing a lowered LWB really makes me think twice about converting mine to a SWB. Nice work.

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
Sorry to hear about that rod. But look at the bright side. You know how what the second engine is.
