i don't have pictures of what i've done, broke the cable that hooks up to the computer! i did get the gearbox painted silver and got the rad. x-member for the 64 frame painted and they are both installed on the 70' frame! i started to mount the front shock kit that mounts on top of the frame but had to stop because i need a right angle drill or lift the cab up out of the way to drill the holes! so i started to srip the paint and rust off one of the inner fenders and got it painted too!! i'll have to wait til saturday for the cable to come in, had to order it since they dont have it at a any local store here!! so n-e-ways this weekend i'll have updated pictures on here at least!!

Hey just checking your thread out.....looks great....I really like the steel floor. I am going to built a 1965 short box fleetside rat rod style and i plan on doing the steel floor and gas door in the side so it was great seeing how you did it......keep up the good work

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

thanks for the comments wutnxt, i got my cab lifted up and drilled my holes to mount the front shock relocators, i also was messing around with an old hood i have and since the side were messed up i cut out the middle! i'm wanting to make a 2.5 cowl hood and keep the "V" in the hood to keep it looking some what stock!! on to the pictures!! the last picture is a picture of the sides of a '70 hood i have, i like the slope of the sides! its not squared like the z28 cowl hood scoops! let me know what you think!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

Hey.....thats exactly what i am messing with for my cowl hood........well except that I need about 4 " to clear everything . But I am going to cut the center out of one of my old hoods and graph in the center hood lines to the center cowl section.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

thats cool wutnxt! i'm going to make a bench seat out of a old tailgate this weekend! i've seen a few on this site and am gonna give it a try! i'm gonna use a stepside tailgate for the back, a stepside side panel cut down and a sway bar cut in half for the armrest! my buddy has some drilling pipe lyin around and said i could use it 2 make the legs and stuff! i'm going to rap the sway bar with foam like you see on rollcages and add the zip ties too for padding, and later i'll add some padding to sit on and for the back 2! my wife wants it to lean back some and she wants somewhere to sit with the kids and to watch me work on my truck! she also wants to see my use same of my junk pile instead of adding to it!! :waah: i'll take as many pictures as i can or i will have her take them while i'm doing it!! lol!! will see!!!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

ok i started making my tailgate bench! i had a tailgate i wasn't using anymore, i cut down a stepside side panel a lil wider then the tailgate! i got some bent pipe from a buddy and i cut a sway bar in half for the armrest! here is some pictures i took today it's not totally done i got to get the foam for some cushion and some foam padding for the armrest! but let me know what you think!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

ok, it's been almost 2 months since i or anybody else has posted anything in my thread! i haven't done anything to my truck but take a few pictures of things that are going to go on my truck! it's been a lil to hot to work on my truck, i was going to move my truck to my house this past weekend but the landlord isn't going for it! so anyways on to the pictures!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

Cool build so far man. I agree with what you said on my post, it is fun to watch the guys who are building on tight budgets. It helps to keep me motivated sometimes to see people at my own skill levels and appearantly similar financial situations managing to get these things together. I'm not knocking the big time guys at all, their stuff is amazing, and provides continuous inspiration. It's just helpful to see others like me getting stuff done, keeps me thinking that I can keep it going too. I like what you've got going on here, and will keep an eye on the build. I dig the tailgate bench too, very cool.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

fryer, thanks for stopping by and checking out my build! my wifes father says i have a champagne taste on a beer budget, lol! i agree 100% and i like the big time guys trucks too!! i keep up with alot of budget build's on there and a few high dollar ones as will! i think i haven't been motivated lately is one reason i haven't done anything on my truck! i brought my fenders to my house the other day to start messing with them, i'll get picture later today or tomorrow! i've done alot of measuring and drew my lines as to where i'm going to cut on them and scraped the rest of the undercoating (1/2" road tar) off of them last night! the tailgate bench was made in one day but took a few days of planning and getting things together i'm still not done with it! i'm still going to paint it bright metallic blue with silver letters and put a foam seat and foam padding for the arms on it! should look cool when all done!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

one more thing for anyone that wants to comment! i'm going to put that rollpan on with the license plate cut-out, and was think of putting a rear bumper on as will just for the safety of a rear bumper! i got a picture and would like some input as to what you guys think!! i'm thinking of something like this with the rollpan and bumper, not the color!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

I've got the same "tar" on my inner fenders, not looking forward to removing that. Be sure to post up a pic or two of that bench, I'd like to see it when you're done. As far as your roll pan idea, that's one of those things I'm going to have to stare at for a while. The color is a harsh distraction..... Looks clean enough, would you do a painted or chrome bumper?

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

I roll pan'd my prostreet truck but am considering doing the back bumper thing as well.....but think it might take away from size of the tires....So...i haven't decided yet either but i think i am leaning to just the pan...

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

fryer.. i'm going to do painted silver bumpers on the front and back, and i'm going to weld the bolts to the back side for a smooth look too! i'm thinking a blue paint job called 'windveil blue' is a f@#d mustang color kind of like lemans blue or nassau blue! i don't like alot of chrome to much bling bling is not for me! i'm going to paint my custom cab trim silver as well, i'm not doing the side trim! to take of the 'tar' on the fenders i used a few wood chisels to take that stuff off! lately is been hot everyday so i'm waiting for a lil cooler days to do the big stuff, you know the stuff i know is going to take all day!!
wutnxt.. i was thinking about of just the roll pan but i'm wanting the safety of the rear bumper incase someone runs into the back of me! people these days don't care and insurance companys don't want to pay you what you have in it!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

well i haven't been doing much lately! i have been ordering some parts like the painted bumpers, will be getting a bbw panel from clyde65 in the next few weeks, taking alot of measurement for my fender patches and the inner fender braces! i also have been looking into making my hood into a front tilt hood, i got the brackets about two weekends ago when i was in tulsa for dirt cheap! i will be going back to that junkyard in the future, i'm in the middle of buying a camaro rear sway bar with all the bracket with new bushings again for cheap! i did make my gas filler plate its not done but you get the idea! it will be welded to the inside of the bed behind the wheel tub about even with the top of the wheel tub along the seam!! anyways on to the picture right!! i have a flush mount gas cap for it, it sould be nice when i'm done!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

its a flush mount fuel cap from cpp, the gas filler box i made is 4 x 4 x 7.5! the gas cap is 3 in. and i wanted enough room to be able to fit a hose up in it and have room to tighten the clamp!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

Cool, I'm trying to picture the final product. I'll be watching.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

ok, maybe by sunday i can have the top welded and grounded smooth, cut the hole out and go over to the truck and give you a better idea of how it will look! i remember you saying that you wished you would have had a lip on the side of yours to weld to, so i made themon mine, i think it should work good! i started it a few days ago when i posted in your thread but got side tracked with the kids and lil projects at home! anyways thanks for taking the time and posting!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

ok well i got a small update for today! Allan - i got my gas filler plate welded and sprayed a couple coats of self etching primer on it so the cap would stand out some! i will still take a picture of it in the bed so everyone can see where it will mount! was talking with my wife and i'm talking of drilling holes on the side taps of the gas filler to make it unbolt instead of welding it on!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

another update for wutnxt - some pictures of my lokar gas pedal, brake pedal, and dimmer switch

Looks like that gas filler panel came out nice, I'll be looking forward to seeing it installed.
