Re: Project: 65 C-10

Have been workin on it while it has been warm here. Finally primed the cab, finished the steering, and started workin on gettin the doors straight.
Hopefully have the doors primed at the end of the week. I made some brackets for the column to get held since the firewall has none.





Arm Notched for steering


Bracket made to hold steering down on the inside of the firewall


Firewall.. There is not filler in it yet

Re: Project: 65 C-10

Looks like a fun project! I've basically done very similar as for as a front end layout except I've sunken the crossmember 5" up over the frame rails instead of Z-ing the frame just to be a little bit different. If I recall correctly, you've Z'd 4" plus dropped the cab 1" so in essence you'll end up raising the motor about 5" in relation to the body. Same thing I am doing, my motor will raise approx 5" due to the new crossmember location alone. I'm curious if you've fitted the motor yet and have any pics of how the motor to hood clearance and distributor to firewall clearnace will work out for you? I hope to be fitting my motor this weekend so I was very curious what you've run into and how you've worked around it.

Thanks!

Re: Project: 65 C-10

No the motor has not been in recently.. just to make the tranny crossmember.. I hope to put it back in soon though. My firewall will def. need cutting around for the dist. I also do not know about the hood. I dont think it will have a problem honestly. It may look a little goofy that high though.

Re: Project: 65 C-10

Here's how mine is looking 5" higher (you may have seen it already). I cut for the dist today. When it's done I'll show it in my thread. Looks like hood clearance will be good and doesn't look goofy at all like I thought it would being up so high.

Re: Project: 65 C-10

I replaced the frame from the notch back since it was a little rotten and it would look nicer anyway ........gonna put the fuel cell there

I also started on my watts link.. I will get pics up when it gets finished.. Shouldnt be too much longer.







That is just a temporary crossmember until I put another in after I get my cell made.

Re: Project: 65 C-10

Also.... I drilled the 6 lug rear axles to a 5x5 bolt pattern to match the front. The front crossmember is from a 87 chevy so it now has disc brakes Axles took forever but it was def. worth keeping the 12 bolt rearend and the same stock width of the rear...

I was curious about the grill hanging up, looks like it has some added material on it.
