Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
Sent the cab off to the painter. Gonna get a lot of new sheet metal for the floors. New paint on the inside and firewall. Lizard skin ceramic coating and sound control for the floor and underside.
https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4072-XL.jpg While the cab is at the painter, I wanted to get started on the bed and bed floor. I planned the bed floor out for months in my head trying to get a grasp on how it was going to work. I knew that I wanted a few things out of it: 1) to utilize the original steel floor, 2) for it all to be completely bolt together, and 3) I wanted the center section in between the wheel tubs to hinge. Started with some 1.5" square tubing and figured out where I wanted it to mount. I though it would be easiest to utilize the factory mounting points. https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4878-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4884-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4889-XL.jpg Then welded the mounting brackets on so the bed floor will bolt down just like normal. https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4907-XL.jpg Next, I got the risers tacked on. https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4936-XL.jpg Set the structure on the frame and squared everything up before welding the lower mounting brackets on. https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4939-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4938-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4943-XL.jpg Test fit of the bed and floor. https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4950-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4955-XL.jpg |
Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
Really nice job on the bed floor! Frame looks great too!

Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
Man I'm so jealous!! I'm still in my 3 month waiting period for my PB stuff. I really like how you did your bed floor. I would love to see more details on how you mount the bed sides and address where the tubs mount.
I have been going over ideas in my head for months on how I want to raise my bed. So many different ways to do it and I would definitely like to have a hinged section like you mentioned to access the air management. Awesome work so far! Mike |
Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475

Just read through your thread. I think it's awesome that you were able to get the old body back. Frame and bed floor mods are looking good. Keep it up.

https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4968-XL.jpg Found a deal on this S480! Guy bought it and changed directions with his build so I snagged this thing up. Didnt waste any time bolting it up either. I was giddy as could be when this showed up. https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4970-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_4971-XL.jpg |
