65 C10 bagged and turbo 5.3 Ls - Build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Goodfellers_Kustoms · 01-03-2018, 12:51 PM

Finally joined here and figured I'd put the current build up.

1965 C10 long bed
w/ PB stage 3 front drop member, 3" drop spindles, Michigan Metalwork's flat control arms, Dominator 2600 bags, Shaved dash, firewall, and pinch welds, 22" transports, CPP drilled/slotted

Currently working on:

We were going the wishbone 3-link route for the rear. Decided to change it up and go triangulated 4-link.

Ordering parts to build the cast 5.3 LS motor and 4l80e up to handle a good amount of boost. Planning to run a big single s480+-

Welcome to the forum!

Looks like its off to a good start. Who's valve cover adapters did you use on the LS?

tinydb84 · 01-03-2018, 02:43 PM

Love that color combo. Which intake is that?

hewittca · 01-03-2018, 03:02 PM

Cool truck! Question, where did you find 3.5" drop spindles?!

Thanks, went with ICT Billet for the adapters. works perfect even has the stock o-ring type gasket milled in.

Same here, for a short time I had owned a matching 66 c10. Driveway looked good.

The intake is an ICT Billet intake, picked up due to being cheaper then the Holley sniper.

Welcome to the forum

Good looking build you have going on.

Goodfellers_Kustoms · 01-09-2018, 04:10 PM

Been bad weather and busy lately. So figured I'd post some of the truck sold couple months ago.

Goodfellers_Kustoms · 02-13-2018, 04:37 PM

Finished up reworking the suspension. Currently I have the frame stripped down, and sending parts off to powder coat.

Jferrante · 02-13-2018, 05:14 PM

awesome! similar to my build but yours is cleaner. Following along

Bentbolt · 02-13-2018, 08:28 PM

How do you like the Michigan metalwork arms? I asked about them while back as a cheap option and only heard bad reviews about the company. Project looks great

Notch1988 · 02-13-2018, 09:35 PM

Keep the updates coming.

I like them, was kind of skeptic on strength at first but these things are built thick man.

Goodfellers_Kustoms · 02-15-2018, 10:02 AM

Maybe yall can help me out.

The Frame will be coated Por-15 black but having a hard time deciding on which color to go with for powder coating.
Going to do the front cross member, A-arms, Shock mounts, Motor mounts, Trans cross member, Rear 4-link bars.

Open to suggestions

Bentbolt · 02-15-2018, 11:05 AM

silvers or grays go with the engine color pretty well

slimjim66 · 02-15-2018, 03:13 PM

I agree with "bentbolt" grays and silvers will go well with the motor colour and then give you some contrast from he black frame. personally i would do a dark gray like a graphite or charcoal gray.

Thanks yall, I was thinking the same thing. Going with a charcoal or graphite with a little metallic to give it a slight pop from the frame but not to much.

Goodfellers_Kustoms · 03-05-2018, 12:29 PM

Finished painting the frame last week. Also picked the stuff up from powdercoat over the weekend. Decided to change it up last second, and went with a bronze. Camera doesn't do this color justice

Notch1988 · 03-06-2018, 09:17 PM

Looks good. I think the hardest part of my build is deciding color and what part gets what color. I've got a big bag of titanium bronze powder that I once had decided on and now I've changed my mind. So frustrating LOL

Goodfellers_Kustoms · 03-12-2018, 01:52 PM

slowly going back together. I've been waiting on engine and turbo parts to come in.

**Sac** · 05-21-2018, 05:18 PM

Liking the color combo, looks good together.

Goodfellers_Kustoms · 02-05-2019, 04:08 PM

disappointed to say that we havent made much lead way on the truck. Parts are sitting on the shelves. Work and life have gotten in the way

On a good note tho we're in the process of moving shop.
