65 c10 SWB step side

[dsterley]

Well have some updates.

Picked up a 5.3 out of a suburban with 121K for a steal. Got it cleaned up and set aside till its needed. Go figure the guy I bought it from had a 72 sitting in the garage next to it.

The frame currently under my truck is racked and the front passenger rail is bent, the only shop I found that would touch it wants a small fortune. Luckily I check the local craigslist for c10 parts pretty regularly and came across a 65 swb frame from texas that was local. Went over and talked with the guy for a while about trucks and looked at all of his projects and parts. Picked up the frame including front cross member and a adjustable trailing arm cross member that was still in the box.

Plan now is to clean up the frame and get some paint on it then start swapping parts over.
