1964 C10 db on 22s
 

We bought this truck from an Amish guy. We also bought a 2001 silverado from another amish guy. The 01 truck was originally going to be a body drop on 22 truck. We started at a torrid pace building a 2x4 tube frame. Corvette rear independent suspension with a cantilever set up. Air ride tech control arms. It was going great then we lost interest and family became more of a priority. Along the way dad bought this C10 I fell in love with it instantly. Fast forward 6 years and I sell my old show truck and buy both trucks from dad and have the idea of a 64 with a LS and laying body...... and go

The upper and lower control arms are on the original 01 front stub all air ride tech we made the bag mounts to match the arms

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

This is the rear of our frame and one side of our cantilever. It is 28 inch longer than the 64 c10 and .5 inch narrower. Seems like an easy fir right.... ya thats what we thought to

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Got the cab centered up on the new frame and measured up to lay pinch perfectly

Little back Window has to go. Drove 4.5 hours to Pella Iowa to buy a big back glass section from brent in pella. He has tons and tons of 60~66 stuff. We found him on kc mo. Craigs.

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Should have waited to take piks until after the welds were ground.

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Found some rust. Behind the custom moldings on the side. A little metal work never killer anyone.

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Since we no longer have the 01 steering we neededto mate the old to thenewwhich is no prob. We used a slick column out of a 72 chevy and shortened it 8 inches jusrt for look on the inside. And it doesn't hurt when your 6'4 to have alil room

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

I wish I had known you were in Pella, I would have driven over to meet you. I only live 12 miles west. Ray

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Have you ever bought anything from those guys over in pella? Brent his dad and maybe uncle. They have a warehouse full of stuff I think they go out west and bring back a truckload of c10s

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

The cantilever cams we had them water jetted out of 1/2 in steel.

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Building our bag brackets and mounting plates getting the cantilever assembled.

Tablets suck... rotating piks not my strong suit

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Wow, this is super awesome! Keep the pics coming, I dig it!

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Not yet, I will have to give them a call when I start the body work on my 64. Next time you head this way give me some notice.

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Ya absolutely will. We might be heading up that way soon. Looking for a nice c60 grill so if nothing pans out here I'll be heading up

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Cool build!

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

That's a beauty setup. The front will get miles o lift. I'm definatly watching this one. Love the wheels. Nothing better than tucking more than half the lug.

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Ya the front is the 01 silverado stub it should lift great and drive like a dream

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Frame shortened so we couldn't help but set the bed on it to see how she looked. ...... but now we have wheel fit issues

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

What are the fit ment issues? Hope they aren't like mine

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

haha mine arent at the top of the bed ... I dont think. When this frame was started it was ment to go into a 2001 silverado now that it is going into a 64 there is some width issue. even though it is .5 inch more narrow than the stock the wheels wanna hit the bodyline even with our negative camber. in the pik you can kinda see our wheel addapters. well those make the vette 5 lug convert to the big 6. problem is they are 3 inches wide each. what we have had to do is switch from vette hubs to trailblazer front 4wd hubs(same spline count as a vette) but they are small 6 so we had a piece machined to addapt the hubs. i will post piks of all of that process here in a little bit

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

I'm looking forward to seeing this the caliber of the work already done I'm sure you'll get everything to fit

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Nice build Jwalters!

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Thanks guys ill upload a bunch more piks later to show our width prob and solution

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Trying to gauge just how much fender we will have left....

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Ok, so being originally built for a 2001 silverado we had a few clearance issues. First was the vette rear independent with the 01 the width was fine. However on the 64 was a little skinnier. When we srtarted the standard adapter worked just fine. But bieng almost 6 inches thick we were back at square one. Through lots of research and some dumb luck.... and working at a GM collision center we found that AWD trailblazer front hubs have the same drive splines as a Corvette. But the lugs are 6x5 and we needed the big chevy 6. Well with a little ingenuity and a machinist we came up with these. I also included a pik of new by the old adapter.

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Great fabrications.

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Super cool build man

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Thanks guys, we are hammering away on the ls swap now ill upload piks asap

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
 

Fixing a little rust on the fender. Full of good ole Mississippi red dirt.

Re: 1964 C10 db on 22s
