The grille will mainly stay stock with an addition of some custom lighting. The height of the fenders won't be a problem since we had already planned on raising the wheel well openings to be able to steer at a real low ride height. The hood will flip forward and a smooth bumper snugged tight to the fenders to cap it all off.

personally I like it I can't wait to see the finished results.

i like it all except for one thing.... the cab on the top of the windshield. To be smooth looks weird, the little "lip" rail makes it look so much better

Well even if I had kept the 67' cab they probably would have been removed since everything else has been shaved. but I understand what you're saying, they give it a certain look..thanks for some feedback.

I love the build, I would've never thought about even trying what you guys are doing, but I'm a little concerned about the front clip, fenders, grille. The hood will take some work but nothing that I'm a 100% positive that you can't handle. LOL Keep the pictures coming!!!

Well, you could stretch the fender to match the trucks height, then re-radius the fender just a bit to make it match, with the bonus of gaining wheel clearance. The grill would have to follow, all the way maintaining the original look of the truck only a wee bit larger. Quickly move on to the bed, and ta da! Your done, piece of cake. You should have no trouble getting it done by SEMA. Lol. It's lookin good, keep it up.

You are spot on, but what's going to make even a bit easier to accomplish is the flip forward hood and the no need for hinges on the fenders. The hood will run all the way to the windshield follow the contour of it covering the 01' cowl and wipers. It will be a mix of 01' & 67' on the fenders and yes metal will be added, parts stretched, sectioned and cross your fingers it all fits, lol. There's no manual on this, so it's a lot of trial and error. That's what we wanted, a one off truck that will have everyone scratching their head and hopefully liking it. Thanks guys!

Wish I had a pair of slosh tubs to cut up and use on this truck! Lol think they would work and add a crazy factory look!! I guess they might need a little modification! Lol

Thanks for all of the compliments! I have read all the builds of u guys and they have blown me way. I am striving to do work at the level of u guys. I just want to say how much. Tootsie has blown me away! We plan on making our own wood bed kit with a factory set of 67 inner fenders just another way to throw everyone off! Lol

Hay guys. I've spent half a day stripping half the frame of the tar like substance. Does anyone no of a good way of doing it? Or is a wire wheel and supper clean about the norm?

What did you paint frame with?

Low Elco 06-17-2014 01:23 PM

Re: Wild C10 project
 
Fantastic work so far! Have you considered keeping the later inner structure and then skinning the fenders to match the doors? It'd make a lot of stuff simpler. The fender tops have a similar roll to the 67, you could "top skin" the hood so to say, then run free on the grille area, just extend the 67 lines through the grille bars to mate up at the ends. It'd help a lot at the core support, too, to have factory pickups to jump off from. Just a thought, I'm in to see where this goes!

Wow what a build and you are doing a fantastic job,I like it.

Re: Wild C10 project
 
The paint is just a basic chassis black. I will paint it with a single stage hot rod black when all the Suspension is finished. Main thing right now is to get it covered so it dosent rust

bruce casilio 06-17-2014 05:14 PM

Re: Wild C10 project
 
As far as the fenders go. We r gana use the 67 front clip. I am gana graft the top and bottom of the fender were it meets the rocker and the cowl.door area. As far as the hood and 67 cowl I'm just gana have to a just as I go. Lol I am gana use the factory 67 core support and I may have to spread it an inch or two then add a little metal to the sides. I want to make the hood and cowl one peace. The hood will flip forward when we r all done so I don't have to take that into considerationon the movement of the hood. The only other thing that may be an issue is the taillight area. But that's a few days down the road! Kol
