1965 c10 budget build

[kristianbolster]

Man I love old c10s, I almost bought one like this instead of my e30, keep up the good work.

you can always do both. I've built a few old BMWs. i recently got done with my e28 with an S50 in it and after that this truck is so easy. its funny how much work is going in to this truck but it is so much easier than the BMW builds because people have literally been modifying this model truck for over 50 years so everyone sells parts for it and there are a ton of write ups everywhere

Space is an issue more than anything, living in the city with no garage is not ideal for a car enthusiast. Maybe one day.

i had my brother hold up my AC Schnitzer wheels to the truck just to see what it looks like and as you can see it looks really really horrible ha.

i got the rear shock mounts fabled up and the shocks bolted in. still need to back a spacer for the top of the shock but its pretty much done
also its been super humid lately and everything is getting surface rust on it even inside but i am going to sand it all and paint everything. it just looks bad now

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

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:

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

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!
