65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
 

This is definitely a budget build I wanna stay with a period correct look, All deluxe trim and emblems, HRF satin charcoal w/all red interior, may go with some steelies, or nostalgic set of 20s such as Coys or AR Torque Thrusts...this will definitely be a cruiser.

Right after the sale...all loaded up ready to hit the road

First time I saw it in the previous owners yard
http://c10forum.com/forum/picture.ph...pictureid=9754

The original owner just cut random holes in the bed for whatever reason, we'll fix that tho.

This is a pic from the previous owners build process...those chrome valve covers were the first thing to go once I got it home
http://c10forum.com/forum/picture.ph...pictureid=9752

This is what the rear suspension looked like when I got it (currently being redone by Poypeyes Rod Shop)...gunna do a completely new back half...simple and functional.

I already picked up a BBW Cab and two new doors for it....I like the BBW much better.

All of the structual frame work, steering, new bed mounts, brake lines are being addressed as we speak by ///Cody Stoute of Poypeyes Rod Shop in Carencro, LA

Good rendering.

Nice Afghan camo..

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
 

After I got it home, cleaned it up, pulled off all the custom purple window tint,added a snazzy seat cover(mexican blanket), and of course tagged it with the Obrien Truckers club plaque that we had made. And a shot of the motor after some clean up work and new valve covers and air cleaner set up.

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
 

Okay guys...fixing to get this thread back going. I've been super busy since coming home from deployment, so sorry about the lack of updates. My plans to make this thing "just a driver" are completely out the window. After messing with this thing for a while I think its my favorite out of all of the trucks I've ever owned. Therefore I'm taking my time and doing this thing the justice it deserves.....BTW are all of my previous pics visible to everyone?

This is my vision for the truck....all original trim with a few things added, slammed on modern sized "Vintage" wheels

That is one sick truck. Can't wait to see more.

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
 

Got the Cab over to the guy for some rust therapy...sorry for the quality of pics..no fancy camera for this guy...I spend all my extra dough on truck parts.

Also got a small shipment of parts in from LMC Truck
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=19477

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
 

Picked up a new bed from a guy here local and got it trimmed to fit and put on.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=19450
Then started stripping the paint off of it
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=19452

Decided it was easier to disassemble the bed and work on the parts separately. Got the Driver's side bedside down to bare metal and epoxy primed.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=19457
Decided to just go with a repop tailgate from LMC I was actually surprised at how well it fit and the thickness of the metal. Very happy with it.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=19471
Sent the bed off with a fellow club member to get some sheet metal work done on the inside of the bed. Also sold all of the old body panels and the small window cab to a friend of mine. We started tearing the truck down and of course it had to rain on us.

:jdp: WOW!!! I'm watchin...:metal:

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
 

Nice job on the metal work...looking good.

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
 

Thanks Bomp!!

Thanks Bro
I can't take credit for the metal work...buddy of mine did that, but he did do a pretty good job..thanks for the cool comments guys.

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
 

Truck is really looking nice. Can't wait to see the final results

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
 

Me either man, I can't wait to drive this thing!!

Re: 65 C10 SWFS BBW "Clyde" @Poypeyes Rod Shop
 

Well we got the cab off and took a few measurements to check the previous owners workmanship on the "Z"....needless to say nothing is square and one side of the frame is higher than the other. So we decided to find a new factory frame and splice on the nice back half that Popeye built and just go with a dropmember up front.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=19475
Had to sell my vacation to purchase the Porterbuilt, but a friend of mine in Alabama had purchased a complete front kit, and had no plans of starting his build anytime soon. So I picked this stuff up a few hundred bucks cheaper than it sells for and didn't have to pay shipping...so I lucked out!!
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=19468
Nice untouched frame

Of course we'll be keeping Popeye's work

Got it all back together and slicked out with some chassis saver paint(same crap as POR-15 without the shine) I dig the satin look
