Thank you for the complement. I just took a look at your truck. WOW hope mine turns out even half of what yours looks like. Great Job.

Thank you! It's not without flaws but I'm happy with it.

Re: 1965 C-10 LS build

A little update. With most of the mechanical work done its time to work on the body. Not my favorite thing to do but it needs to get done. I finished up the rear roll pan and the reverse lights in the roll pan.
The other major issue was the drivers side cab corner. The previous owner changed it but it was touching the bed edge when I put the bed on the truck. The passenger side was fine the drivers touched. After I cut the old corner off and went to put on the new corner I did not fit very good. The corner stuck out the back of the cab about 1/2 of an inch. I guess it was not the previous owners fault on the first try. These after market parts really s@&k. I had to section out about 1/2 of an inch. Below is a picture of what had to be removed.

After that cut I had to cut the back side of the new corner and bend it down to make if fit with the rear of the cab. Then filled it in with a piece of metal.

Re: 1965 C-10 LS build

It's been a while since the last post. So a little up date. Pulled the motor and trans out and put them in the corner for now. I was able to get the hood own and it fits good. Just finished a little work on the upper fender extensions. Now just have to decided on the colors and start priming and block sanding. I'm going to try to get it done by early spring.







I put down a couple coats of Lizard Skin on the floor, fire wall and part of the rear wall.





Well that's all for tonight have a good night👍👍
