67 Stepside - Air bagged Chasis & Ls swap "ARGENTINA BUILD"
Well after much thought its time to start my build thread......I'm from Argentina, so please be patient with my English.
My truck is a 1967 C10 that came originally with an inline 6. In Argentina, this was the only available engine, sadly no V8 here. We've started this project 4 years ago with the idea to build a patina truck. Things escalated quickly as you will see in the photographs. I've changed four engines since we've started (283-327-350-L99), three transmissions (powerglide-th400-4l80e), and countless other things. The final idea (I hope) is to build a bagged street c10. 18" wheels in the front and 20" in the back with a decent tire. We've built a chassis from scratch, we are using air ride shockwaves, accuair management, willwood brakes, etc. The powerplant is stock a L99 engine. Here are some photos of the process, I hope you enjoy the project as much as I do. I want to hear you're comments!! |

Certainly, this project snowballed into a much bigger endeavor. As I said before I´ve changed four engines, three transmissions and 3 wheelsets hahaha
I will start posting photos of the process. Here are some photos of the custom chassis we did for the truck. Last edited by C10ARG; 04-23-2019 at 03:12 PM. |

Re: 67 Stepside - Air bagged Chasis & Ls swap "ARGENTINA BUILD"
The first thing we've changed was the engine. The truck came with a 283 but we've decided to change it to a 327 with a dual quad setup.
The chasis will be built from scratch to allow the extreme drop we are aiming for. We are using air ride shocks with accuair managment. |

Looks like a good start. I like the looks of the orange and black AD truck in the background getting a chassis.

Re: 67 Stepside - Air bagged Chasis & Ls swap "ARGENTINA BUILD"
Sorry guys for the delay. It´s been a few busy weeks at work.
The chassis is a full build from scratch. Here in Argentina, we don´t have the option to buy something already made like a Roadster shop chassis or a GSI. So we placed the cab on the table and we started to trace the components. We are making the 4 link system in the back using custom bushings and modifying a dana 44 housing with forged axle and a limited slip core. |
