My C10 Build

Hello, Finally got going on this project in the last year. It`s a 70 C10 on
a 86 Monte Carlo chassis. Everything I have been doing has been going real
slow, but I`m starting to see a glimmer of the finish line on the fab work
that had to be done. This thing should handle like its on rails when finished.
Here`s some pictures

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: My C10 Build

Here`s what`s left of the 8 ft. bed I started with I took out 18" from in front
of wheels and 10" from behind the wheels. had to cut out all bed in between wheel wells to clear suspension.

Re: My C10 Build

So you're shortening the body (bed) to fit the cars wheel base. I was curious what your plan was.

Yes, I had to shorten the bed between the cab and the rear wheels 18"
then I took 10" out of the back so now the bed is equal length on both sides
of the wheel well.

Re: My C10 Build

I wondered. The math puts the ElCamino/SW frame within 2" of the SWB truck wheelbase. I couldn't see where you might have extended the MCSS frame.

Making a little progress. Got the wheel tubes widened and covered the rear
suspension.

Re: My C10 Build

Just finished up my front roll pan. It was a 2 piece I got off EBay. Had to do a
little customizing to make it work.
Didn`t come out too bad.
