Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

nice build man truck looks good. How wide are those wheels was thinking of getting those or the coys. Take some good photos of bed floor when you raise it man.

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

thanks brother the wheels are 9.5 inches wide but i know you can get them wider or even thiner but on 22s the thinest you may be able to get them is 9 inches, coys are really nice man, and ill take a bunch of pics of the bed......:metal:

well today is raining here thanks for the weather moose JK :lol:....i dont know how much im gonna get done today since i get lazy when it rains but whatever i get done ill post some pics later on this evening and i may go to my buddy's house down the street he said he had something i would be interested on last time he said that i came back with this set of wheels for the truck and since he has a local wheel and tire shop here in town some he has deals you cant pass on, we'll see.....;)

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

your welcome..

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

yep raining bad here to!!! i get the same way when its cold and rainy don't even wanna go out there

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

allright today i didn't do much after a bunch of measurements i got the tubing frame to raise the bed all welded in place and than i threw a coat of paint on the whole frame and i started to plan where i was gonna mount the air tanks,valves and compressors...:confused:

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

NICE!!! I knew you would make progress lol complaining about the rain you still did stuff haha!!! Well first where are you running the fuel tank at??? And what compressors were you running??? You could mount em under the cab??? on the frame rails or where the old saddle tank was???

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

while i decided where i was gonna mount the tanks and compressors i stopped by my buddys house and just like he said he had something i was gonna be interested on and it was such a great deal i could not pass on brand new 22 inch wheels with brand new tires, he has wheel and tire shop here in town and he had order this wheels for a guy who never turn out with the money and even tho i have a set of 22's on the truck i had to get this ones here are some pics of what i currently have and i got today let me know what you guys think looks better.....:chevy:

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

im debating as far as the fuel tank goes im not sure if im gonna go with a fuel cell or find a smaller gas tank from another truck and build brackets to mount it under the cab????...

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

They're both nice!!! Whichever ones you dont use let me know I need some wheels haha!!!

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

here are some pics i took today with the wheels on the truck.....:metal:

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

The new Street Trucks mag has a write up on the new No Limit fuel cell its completly bolt in with new crossmembers with it and priced pretty fairly I think and it still allows you to lay out too

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

I like the ones you got today they look more classic I guess you can say.... Look like Coys too :metal:

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

Cool ill check it out,... one of my buddys told me last week that he had what it seems to be a 12 gallon tank that came out of another small truck and its in great conditions and based on the measurements that he gave me over the phone the tank would tuck right under the cab and not hang lower the rockers im gonna go see the tank some time this week and the best of all he only wants 20 bucks.....;)

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

yep thats the way i feel too...:chevy:

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

Yeah you can't beat 20 bucks haha.... That No Limit tank is like 18 or 19 gallons I think, also I think you said your truck had a 400 and those things love gas lol

Yep Clean and simple but these trucks look good with any 5spoke wheel too dont matter the brand lol

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
 

Its gonna suck going back to work on wednesday lol...i have two more days of vacation left and based on the agreetment i made with my wife i can't even come close to the garage for the next two days since we haven't spend any time together lol... its ok ill get some stuff done this next weekend....:lol:
