My first Build 1965 C10 Custom Cab SWB
I have been building 1964 Chevy Impalas and Convertible for about 20 years. But I always wanted a C10 SWB So here are some pics of my daily driver.

Thanks. I used A big & small electric grinder put some wire wheels on it and went to town until it was nice smooth & shine. The sprayed some metal primer & toped it off with a glossy black paint.

It's the driveway it slopes down and slants to the side for drainage.

Re: My first Build 1965 C10 Custom Cab SWB
I put in a rebuilt 350 from a 1992 Silverado. Changed intake & Carb also put a 350 Turbo Transmission. Painted engine to match the color of truck. Alumin Radiator with electric fan. In the 3rd pic you can see my Spare Tru Spoke Rims 15x7 but tires on truck are BF Goodrich Radial T/A. I need take pic of rims bought them on craiges list 4 were still in the orginal boxes never mounted.

Re: My first Build 1965 C10 Custom Cab SWB
I had my cab at a so called shop for 8 months and he did nothing I finally got it back and I have a guy coming over every weekend. Last weekend he filled all the holes I don't want. This weekend we put in the bolts for the 3 point seat belts, repaired the dash where they cut out the raidio and hippo lined the cab floor top and bottom and started body work on cab. He did more work in 3 days than they did in 8 months.

Re: My first Build 1965 C10 Custom Cab SWB
Pics of hinges Not as hard as I thought. I think were going to weld the hinges in place I really don't like the bolts showing on out side of tailgate. It's me leaning when I took the picture bed is not tweaked.
