Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Gonna be so sic!!! Btw porterbuilt is in the process of releasing a kit to fit the 24x15's! Hope they release it soon!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

You guys with the 24x15s are killing me!!!! I want a set bad but doesn't fit the scope of my project...nor my budget.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Good grief! Some beautiful billet. All time favorite wheel.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

I'm on board..
Looking great so far, solid plan.. Wish all my Porterbuilt was here... I'll be a ways behind but this will be great motivation for me..

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

That's a DEEP lip! Love the wheels!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

looks Killer! if you don't mind me asking, how much $ you have into the motor?
and what hp? I'm about to go down the same road..

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Way too much into the motor lol

Doing it all again I would have just bought a brand new crate LS3.

I'm hoping for high 400s in the hp range

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Whoa! Those are some sic wheels!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Thats a bunch of killer parts to go on a super nice truck!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Can't wait to see this one finished.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Killer build. Any updates?

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

405??????...seriously

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Still here! No updates besides I have basically everything I need to start the project, except the room to build it. I have a 64 impala that I need to sell so I can start! Stay tuned though, I'll be back on soon enough!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Super subscribed - killer build!!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Looking forward to the rest of the build

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Going to look killer bro. What's modifications are needed to fit that size wheels?? :metal:

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Waiting patiently…….

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Where are you?? You said starting soon now that Felicia is gone!!!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Finally tearing into her! Front clip off :metal:

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Nice to see some progress! Looking forward to the finished product. Can't go wrong with an olive shortbed.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Motor and trans out!

Is there a market for a good running 307 with auto trans nowadays?

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Gives me hope seeing that all your bad ass cars come out of that little garage.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Got the rest of the old steering and suspension out, cross member out ready to start installing the porterbuilt goodies!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Progress!!! Looking good.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Going to be an awesome looking truck when you're done...keep the updates coming!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Ok, got the steering notches in and started to bolt on the front crossmember and ran into my first problem...

I've drilled out each frame hole to 9/16th's as instructed in the procedure, and have my two front bolts in. However the rear 2 holes in each side do not line up properly to get the other 4 bolts in...

BTW the very front factory crossmember is still in, the instructions didn't stay to remove it but I've seen most PB trucks with it out.

Any ideas from the experts??

The first pic is drivers side, second is passenger side. It flipped the images on me.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

the frame rails will flex use a starter punch to help align the holes or a ratchet strap to suck the rails together it all moves pretty easy. Keep up the progress it's looking good.
