Re: 66 c10 big window shortbed dropmember build up.
Recieved the new driveshaft today and man is it nice. The 2" spacer block I was planing on wasn't enough. So I called my neighbor at jist unlimited and see if he could give me a hand. We cut down an aluminum chunk to 2x3 1/4 X11 1/2". Nice to great friends and neighbors with machine shops. I'll drill the holes for it tomorrow on the drill press.

Re: 66 c10 big window shortbed dropmember build up.
Nice mod on the trans member. Mine is on the way along with bag stuff. I'll probably do the same. What diameter round stock did you weld in there?

Re: 66 c10 big window shortbed dropmember build up.
I used a 4" tube 3/16 wall, was the same as the round bar on the trans. Allowed for up to 3" exhaust with room not to scorch the paint.

Re: 66 c10 big window shortbed dropmember build up.
It's been a little bit since I've had a chance to work on the truck.got the cab set back on the frame,trimmed and fitted the fenders and got those ready to rework.i wasn't impressed by the fit of the aftermarket header panel so I used one from the daily and I'll blast it and get it ready for work.mocked up the hood with the new gas assist strut hood hinges from porterbuilt, also recieved the rear notch cover with redesigned mount for panard bar. I also welded the high hump firewall section in and trimmed the floor, ready to drill the rear holes and nutcert the floor for a bolt in like factory.
In the next couple weeks I'll blow it all apart and send everything needed out to be powdercoated.its slowing down a bit on progress,time and energy to work on it is hard to come by. |

Re: 66 c10 big window shortbed dropmember build up.
It's been a couple weeks but this past Monday I took of to spend some time with my son while he's out of school.. So after tearing the frame and all suspension down we took the parts to get powdercoated. Had to extend some arms on the rotisserie. Now I was able to finish welding the rockers in and start on the cab corners. Well after 5 hours and 5 diffrent section cuts and welding and grinding and grinding and welding. Have only one more cab corner left, hop to do that this week.then weld up all the holes in the firewall.

Re: 66 c10 big window shortbed dropmember build up.
Late Friday evening score. Factory rust free rad support, a pair of really nice inner fenders for the daily, a set of powder coated original front bumper brackets some radiator side shields powder coated, a delco radio and a new big back glass... Wish I had more cash. He had a California rust free hood and an extremely nice set of doors and a lot more that I really wanted. But ya can't have it all.

Re: 66 c10 big window shortbed dropmember build up.
Cut and disected the aftermarket passenger cab corner and finished fitting and welding it up.welded in new verticle rain gutters on both sides. Welded up holes in the floor today, the back cab wall where someone had a gun rack installed and 95% of all the holes in the firewall leaving the main ones for steering, brakes, throttle, speedometer and park brake holes.. not sure if I want to leave the factory antenna or shave it? Well I'll figure that out later.

Re: 66 c10 big window shortbed dropmember build up.
It's been a few months since I've last updated.. Well frame was completely striped down and sent of to powdercoater. Took about 3 weeks as they were extremely backed up due to some weather and christmas. Got it all back, did it a simple semigloss black. Had the rearend housing done also along with backing blates and brake drums.

Re: 66 c10 big window shortbed dropmember build up.
Had a good friend come over and setup the rearend with an eaton posi and 3.73 gears. Put a nice aluminum cover on it along with new 5 lug axles.
