Re: 64 made2drag c10
I've been asking car guys in the area if anyone knew of a 64-66 c10 really cheap. Ran into a guy who has one and knew of a parts truck. He said it was a 3/4 ton and thought it would be going to scrap soon due to nothing really left on it to part out. Come to find out, I knew the owner from swap meets and car cruises and he was excited that he finally found someone to show it some appreciation. I basically bought the door and got the rest for free. LOL. He says no hurry to pick it up and haul it home, so all I have are pics at the moment. He said it was a 64...the vin in the door opening above the door hatch is in the 64 only spot. I was so excited I didn't even look or take a pic of the vin.

Re: 64 made2drag c10
Needless to say, I will be accruing parts over the next couple of years in order to put this one together. Plans will be a 5 lug disc conversion with a 5/6 drop and shortening the frame and most likely making it a rough driver. 350/3 speed or might do an auto. Wont be anytime soon though. Check back in a few years! LOL

Re: 64 made2drag c10
With tires in that shape it is definitely made to drag. Sorry I couldn't resist.

Re: 64 made2drag c10
That is definitely a project but I have seen people start with worse.

![]() The reason I liked this truck is: No one wanted it because it was long bed and 8 lug. So I got it really cheap. I'm going to do a ball joint out 5 lug disc conversion anyway. Its ready for wire brushing and painting the frame. I can do a new bumper and grille and new fleet bedsides and find stock hood and clip pieces. The cab seems to be in really good shape for being 53 years old. 2 cab corners and a rocker and maybe some floor patches... If it were a stock stepper with a straight 6 and 6 lug, it would be changed anyway. Less work, really. Im happy!

Re: 64 made2drag c10
I don't think you can press in a lower balljoint that will accept a 1/2 ton dropped spindle. The C20 lower control arms as well as the entire front crossmember are different than the C10 components. I have never tried a C10 balljoint in a C20 lower control arm, but I am pretty sure the hole in the control arm is too big.

Re: 64 made2drag c10
On the '63-'66 C20/30 trucks you can not simply change the control arms, you have to change the crossmember as well. This is due to the C20/30 lower control arm shafts are flat and not round. There are no saddles on the crossmember to accept a round control arm shaft.

Re: 64 made2drag c10
And seeing your post.... it just hit me its a c20... any other differences between the c20 and c10 once the crossmember is changed and the rear end and springs are changed?

Re: 64 made2drag c10
Also, can anyone tell from the pics if that is a fleetside bed front panel? The poison ivy kept me from walking around the truck and the dude had some many cars and trucks that distracted me away after I shook hands on the truck, knowing I was 100% buying it. The cab and frame looked excellent from where I stood.

Re: 64 made2drag c10
Aside from the slightly thicker frame, the rear cab mounts are different and there are braces from the trailing arm crossmember over to the frame.
