1965 c10 budget build

and i am totally joking they actually came out crap because it occurred to me after i made them to spin them while welding them instead of try to move my had around them while welding. so needless to say i will be remaking these but they will work for now

and after i got the hang of it i started building the spacer. and it came out some amazing that i put these emojis on it to add to how good it looks

[kristianbolster]

i rusted on some rusty metal at it still came out pretty good. the miller is way better than the piece of crap harbor freight flux core welder that i have. i just welded the weld in the center the others are from my brother messing around with it before. and this picture was taken after i took a wire brush to it and knocked a lot of the rust off:

i went over to my dads to make some spacers for my rear shock mounts and i haven't used his welder since i kinda figured out how to weld (still a long ways to go) so i tested it out on some spare pieces of metal i had laying around

and so i waited for a while for him to come out so i could get in my truck. and when i got home i changed the spark plug wires, coil, and cleaned up the wiring little bit. it was ran kinda stupid and was messy so i zip tied it together. I also put the grill back on the truck. of course i have no photos of this but i will get some tomorrow.
here is a picture before i started working on it:

i have slowed down a ton on working on my truck lately. but i have a little update.
i went to auto zone. pretty much for the cars first drive to go get a bunch of maintenance type stuff so it doesn't catch fire. And while i was there my little brother walked in because he was doing an oil change and tranny flush on his suburban and when i walked out he was parked like this:

heres a little sneak peak of my wheels. they are not my first choice but my dad had them for one of his projects and they are brand new so i traded my AC Schnitzers for these and a rebuilt 700R4

That looks absolutely incredible. I'm stoked to see what this thing looks like with paint and wheels. I feel like it will really come alive. The fab work on the suspension geometry looks awesome!

this is the first time airing out the truck and it didn't have the watts link hooked up yet so when it came down the rear arms caught the frame and hung up or a little bit

I love seeing updates on this thread. Looks great man!

As for the videos, you should be able to embed the link to the video into your post. The way I did this was, using flickr: open the video, click the share arrow in the bottom right corner of the screen, click the embed tab, copy the link, paste it into your post.

I see that you are using photobucket, but I think the general process should be the same.

thank you. here comes some videos:

you always think that you are almost done until you spray paint your door white and write a list of the things you need to do
