1965 c10 budget build

[kristianbolster]

so this weekend i worked a half day friday so i could work on my truck so i worked on it from 1pm-1am and worked on it today from 8 am- 4. All you guys know how good it is to be able to work on your car all day and get a steady groove going. so i was stoked and got a lot done.

i started plumbing all my airride by starting with the gauges.

[kristianbolster]

pulled out this old metal saw so i could make some clean cuts to make a mount for my air tank.

i got the air ride 100% done so i was able to air it up and down a couple time. i still need to get my watts link in the mail before my suspension is fully done and i get blow it apart to paint it all and get it all nice looking.

this photo the driverside bag still had some air in it so it looks a tweaked and retarded

[kristianbolster]

I would also like to post a video of it airing out but I have no idea how.
So any help on that would be greatly appreciated

so today i headed over to my parents for a little bit today to get the bed lined up so we can build mounts for it and then after we can yank the bed off do the body work, build the raised bed, paint it and throw it back on.

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.

ehhh nevermind i have some time. ill update it now

as you have seen so far in the build we only use the most up to date and expensive tools on the market to build such an amazing vehicle like this and her is a couple more examples of our top of the line drafting program for the bed floor design and ways to catalog measurements to remember later:

my wife made me some dinner so i took a little break. i thought it was funny a nice looking dinner sitting on a nasty work bench so i took a picture:

Looking great mate. Isometric sketch even!

i changed the design that i am doing for the raised bed lucky i didn't cut any bars that i couldn't use for the new design. i got the hole base structure cut and welded in. have few more pieces to cut for the mounts to the frame and i have to build the middle section that i am building so it will tilt up. so you can see the notch and air ride.
