Project Stance: 1965 Chevy C10

You have no idea! That's the only time he stays still long enough for a pic is when he is about to sleep. He runs around like a mad man all day. Lots of energy is an understatement. When I come home he jumps as high as he can for prob 15-20 times, then gets out of breath, catches his breath and does it again.

Well I am back from Sydney. I am finally getting things done on the truck.
Acuuair is installed


Oliver is 22lbs now, he was 18 when I left for Australia!


I just ordered the chrome smoothies 15x8 reverse with a smaller 3" cone than the 5" in the pics, with Coker G78 Pli Bias tires



The Opera house


Cool shop in Sydney



My carb gummed up over the winter so I should have it cleaned and running in a week. I unfortunately am working 6 12-14hr days, so I can pay for this but I dont have time to install the parts!!!!

I hope to drive it really soon, then its off to paint.

woo just keeps gettin better

[yusoslo]

Got all my wiring sorted. I had a 6 ohm ground that was giving me Accuair ECU issues. Now I am rocking and rolling!!






Should I use the Custom trim? I will be running chrome wheels and bumpers soon once it gets repainted.





I think it looks cool up close but from a distance it may look off. I will wait until I get the new chrome door handles, and the bumpers and wheels and see how it looks.

Just a shot of the engine


I'll post the video of the air ride in action soon.

I like it without the trim, just my .02

[bostongrnM3]

if two tone paintjob use it if not i think it looks pretty good without it

[99sil-teg]

I dig the trim, old stuff was meant to rock chrome trim.

[yusoslo]

I think I am going to wait on the trim until the wheels and bumpers go on. I do think I will keep it.

[yusoslo]

Here is the video of the air ride working. Don't mind the fenders its a mock up. Once the new wheels and tires come in I will install the new fenders, trim and bolt them down.

damn that sick you'll be throwin sparks fo dayz!

[yusoslo]

With out a doubt, full frame lays on the rivets, So I am installing drag blocks so I dont damage the frame.

[yusoslo]

So my wheels and tires arrived today. Coker did a real awesome job on binding the tires together. There was a 1.5" gap between beads!!! I had to stretch the tire out and hit it with a heat gun for a while.



This is the end result: No Caps


Well I am a stickler for fitment


A couple of angles


With the caps. Now I can put my new fenders on!!!


Serious tuck in the rear!!! 15x8 has some nice lip!!


I love how the truck looks compared to the BMW


Instagramed C10


So my carpet comes in soon. I found a new bed and a BBW inner skin. Lots of improvement to come.

Off to pick up the new to me, but old and perfect condition oem sheet metal to get this sucker lined up, straight, and over to paint. Its a 3.5hr one way drive plus loading and 3.5 on the trip back. There is a swap meet so it may take longer!!! It has been hard to do but I wanted only US steel on my truck. Its easy to get thin China sheetmetal but it never feels right, looks right, and espicially......feels right. This truck is for 'Merica!! LOL
