new bed floor, reworked OE wheel tubs and new front panel. it was a tough choice to finish the inside of the bed out nice vs bedliner. I really hate that I can't put anything back there without scratches or damage.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Hey Luke, would you want to sell your old bed floor? I’m working on mine as we speak and my bed floor needs some repair. I was going to line it anyway, so thought I’d see if you wanted to part with your old one. I’m in Bowling Green, so local to you. Crazy to see the transformation that you’re going through on this truck. I’ve seen it around town over the years and always thought it looked great. Thanks, Mike.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build

Thanks Luke, I appreciate it. I’ve been so off again/on again with mine that I haven’t kept my eyes open for certain stuff and I seem to miss out. Your truck is looking great, keep up the good work!

Vibro Solutions 2MM damping material installed, they offer kits that work well with the C10. i had enough to cover firewall, floor, back of cab, roof and inside of the doors. Top layer is Vibro Solutions 6MM foam to finish it off.

Lee Power Steering box, I have installed 4 this year on other builds, highly recommend. Belltech sway bars, springs and shocks will be used on this build.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Which Belltech drop springs did you use? And did they line up to the top and bottom pockets correctly?
|
Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Belltech 4702 2" i took a set out that were 10 years old and installed a new set both sets fit perfect.

getting body panels fit one last time before paint, I have been using TAMCO products from the start for all primer and paint needs. awesome stuff that I highly recommend
|
Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
The truck looks incredible in just primer. Looking forward to seeing it all painted.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Looks like it’s coming along great. I’m anxious to see it completed. Is that Coy’s vette in the background?

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Did you have to mod the trans tunnel to fit the transmission?

Oh yeah I see it now haha. I read the whole build thread a few weeks ago when I started considering a 6l90 and have been going back and forth and was skimming today and reconsidering it again but not sure I want to cut it up. Beautiful build by the way

I did, you could probably get it to fit without doing so if you don't mind to sit the engine high and have 6 degrees or so in it. I prefer a low sitting engine and trans above the frame if possible. |

I went ahead a made a new fan shroud to go with the Dewitts radiator. I wanted use a certain style of Spal fans and also so I could mount the shroud to the factory top radiator plate.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Great job on everything so far. LOL on the vette situation. I’ve known him for around 30 years now and you’re exactly right about him being picky. I’m sure it sees the inside of the garage much more than the outside, lol.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Those look great. Mine’s not even running yet and I’ve almost decided I should’ve went with manifolds over the Super Comp long tubes. I had the stock truck manifolds but also looked at the Holley ones as well. I’m hoping I don’t have heat soak issues on the starter with the long tubes. Those manifolds make everything look nice and clean.

looks factory clean! Nice work! What backspacing did you select for your wheel choice? thank you |
Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Everything looks great! This all motivates me to have fun cleaning up my 84 one day.

Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
Holy crap. Awesome build!

One of my favorite things on this build is the brakes. Master Power has a really killer set up for these trucks with 13” 4 piston fronts and 12” 4 piston rears. Works well with the Baer remaster.
One thing I’m super picky on is battery cables and terminals. I like them clean and simple. |
Re: 85 C10 LT/6L80 Frame off build
I completely understand where you’re coming from on the exhaust. I’m hoping mine isn’t too loud so I stuck with 2 1/2” piping and some quiet mufflers for it. The manifolds look really nice and give you great clearance around everything, that’s for sure.
Your attention to detail is awesome on everything with this truck. I can’t imagine what the finished product is going to look like. Getting anxious to see how it all turns out. |
