My 64 build - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CVA59 · 12-24-2010, 10:01 AM

Thanks PRO. I used an old style 1/4" with a 9/16" radius metal bender. My dad had it so there is not telling how old it is. I was very pleased with the results mainly because i don't know anything about fitting tubing and all that goes with it. Secondly, I was real surprised my temper didn't blow before it was all done, LOL. Those BFG's have been my favorite style of white letter tires for many years. I knew when i started this build that i just HAD TO HAVE a set.

1985-GMC · 12-27-2010, 08:39 PM

I thought I had subscribed to this one back when you started it but apparently I didn't, oh well it looks great though! I wish I would have known about that guy that sandblasted everything for you back when I started but that would have been a long drive to haul a bunch of parts to.

CVA59 · 12-27-2010, 08:58 PM

Thanks man. Yes, he did all my parts and they look perfect. I am real impressed with his knowledge of blasting and him knowing the do's and don't's. Plus, i just cannot beat the price anywhere, LOL. I am currently about to start on my engine so hopefully i will have some more progress pics up in the near future.

Hey man. That truck looks great!!! That is the exact same look and stance i am shooting for on mine. I love the way your trucks sits. Keep the pics coming. Can't wait to see your progress.

towersddg9 · 01-11-2011, 11:41 PM

Thanks, keeping it original, with some updates in steering and brakes, have the 6 lug conversion from CPP going back on it, I hope to be all done by summer

CVA59 · 01-12-2011, 12:42 AM

I hear ya. Looks like you have a pretty solid truck as well. I wish mine was in that good of shape.

Here is the latest toy i picked up for mine today.

1985-GMC · 01-12-2011, 12:46 AM

Nice! But I don't think that's going to fit under the hood.

Actually it will clear. The guy i bought it from had it on a 65 C10 and it cleared. It is close but it will clear

1985-GMC · 01-12-2011, 01:58 AM

Hmm... I never would of thunk it.

BigJoe29 · 01-23-2011, 08:23 AM

damn very nice build. you guys are really getting me itching to get home and work on mine sitting in my driveway. can't wait to see the rest of the build

CVA59 · 01-23-2011, 06:20 PM

Thanks Joe. I can't wait to see it too, LOL. I sure wish money grew on trees.

SCOTI · 01-23-2011, 09:19 PM

Good to hear.

Zack Methvin · 02-06-2011, 05:35 PM

OK guys. I finally have my S10 rear end in place. I still have to modify some brackets and such but it appears so far that everything is working out better than i expected.

aggie91 · 02-07-2011, 01:39 PM

Just read your whole post, I think that I will have to call your guy that did the blasting, that was an awsome price.

The build looks like it is going good!

Yes, I sent you a PM. Give me a call and i will get you hooked up with him.

aggie91 · 02-07-2011, 02:35 PM

I got your PM, i try to call you later this evening, I got to go to Pittsburg for my son's BBall game at 5:30.

I returned you a PM about this rearend set up. You might want to look at what I did...

CVA59 · 02-07-2011, 02:44 PM

Received it. Thanks Karl, give me a shout anytime. I get home usually by 4:30.

For all those who are confused about my username. I somehow managed to screw up and log in with my old name, "Zack Methvin". I am CVA59 and Zack Methvin, LMAO. Sometimes my brain just decides to shutdown on me without any advanced notice. I will do my best in the future to stay with my correct username.
