Re: 1965 C10 Fleet Project - unfinished business

Truck is now short and ready for the blastfest to start.

Photo showing how deep that bondo was on the bedside - pleased how it turned out - the panels are relatively straight and everything sits nice and square on the revised frame.

I made up some dollies for the frame to make it easier to push the frame around on the gravel - I hate gravel when working on cars.

I also made up a larger version for the cab so I can move that around a bit easier when prepping it for the new interior, wiring and other stuff planned.

I got the axle stripped down and plan to use an Eaton truetrac with 3.73 gears and strange axles with 5 x 4.75 pattern.

Some may have noticed the camper top in the early shots - this is now 2 foot too long :-). I plan to cut it down and have it removable - stored under the carport when I dont need it on the truck.

this now brings me up-to-date with trucky progress so posts will likely be more detailed, smalller jobs and certainly not twice a day :-)
