I think it looks classier that way..if the hardware was the same color, it might look like he just painted over everything in one fell-swoop...just my .02

The rolling frame is a beast! Reminds me of the Drops-R-Us trucks!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

The white is going to really set this build off. Love it...:metal:

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

That's looking sweet as sugar :metal::metal::metal:

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

So fresh, so clean! Looks awesome!!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Very very nice! Fast progress too!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Wow chassis looks amazing. I love the wide meats in the back.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

It would be hard for me to put a truck on top of the that. More like a piece of glass and make it a table. Great work!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Whats your plans on raising the bed?

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Build a frame outta 1" square tubing and keep the original steel bed. Raise it about 11" or so. I haven't measured it out yet. Got some Hart Rods super wide rear tubz coming in.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Putting the tape measure to work! Sickness.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

yea man, they shorted you on those

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

How do you plan to attach the 1x1 square tubing to the bedside where they meet? I'm getting ready to do this soon and looking for ideas

It will bolt to the bedsides. You can see above the flanges on the ends of the square tubing. I didn't wanna weld them to the bedsides in case I need to take off the bedsides again.

Got the hinged center section working with the gas struts. Air tank will mount there and compressors on each side as shown. Boyds Welding fuel tank in. Also welded in a battery box to relocate it to under the bed.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

That looks good. I like the hinged center section

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

That is slicker than snot on a doorknob.
