Re: 1965 C-10 LS build
A little update. With most of the mechanical work done its time to work on the body. Not my favorite thing to do but it needs to get done. I finished up the rear roll pan and the reverse lights in the roll pan.
The other major issue was the drivers side cab corner. The previous owner changed it but it was touching the bed edge when I put the bed on the truck. The passenger side was fine the drivers touched. After I cut the old corner off and went to put on the new corner I did not fit very good. The corner stuck out the back of the cab about 1/2 of an inch. I guess it was not the previous owners fault on the first try. These after market parts really s@&k. I had to section out about 1/2 of an inch. Below is a picture of what had to be removed. http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...67A811672F.jpg Posted via Mobile Device[/QUOTE][/QUOTE] After that cut I had to cut the back side of the new corner and bend it down to make if fit with the rear of the cab. Then filled it in with a piece of metal. http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...67B14C2382.jpg Posted via Mobile Device Well got that finished and ready for primer. Also blocked sanded the door and will prime the both in the morning. Well I was going to post a picture of the final sanding before primer but the photo bucket doesn't like me tonight. That's it for now have a great night. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |

It's been a while since the last post. So a little up date. Pulled the motor and trans out and put them in the corner for now. I was able to get the hood own and it fits good. Just finished a little work on the upper fender extensions. Now just have to decided on the colors and start priming and block sanding. I'm going to try to get it done by early spring.

Re: 1965 C-10 LS build
Well I'm getting closer to paint. It was a little nerve racking but the trim is finished with the mockup on the new fenders and doors. It was hard to drill holes into new metal but its done.
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...24014DAF5B.jpg [http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...2409B967F9.jpg I tried something different with bumper. I made new bumper brackets and flipped it over. Just wanted to do something different. ????????? http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...C2FCCC7EB6.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...C30AC16556.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...C790748F4A.jpg Also got the interior painted. http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...C31A919F6A.jpg I did have a little slip with the paint gun. :hh: A little to long in one spot. This is an easy fix though. http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...C3484D9D22.jpg I guess not bad for my first time with a finish coat. It's going the paint shop for the second week of January. So hoping by March I can start putting it back together. :ennyd: |
Re: 1965 C-10 LS build
I really like that bumper flip !!
Mind if I steal that for my build? Though I may modify it some.... seems I cannot leave well enough alone on my build. That air box you made in the engine compartment turned out really nice too. Where did you move your battery to though, did I miss that? |

I put the battery on the drivers side. The drivers side is where the battery connections are on the LS motor. http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/.../IMG_17962.jpg Thanks for looking at my build and stay warm up there. :chevy: |
Re: 1965 C-10 LS build
Looking good! Like the bumper flip!

Re: 1965 C-10 LS build
Been working a some small details the past couple of days. Nothing much to talk about. But I did get the power door locks installed. I purchased a kit from VH Coachworks. Its made for a 1967-72 truck, I was able to get it to fit. It was eaiser than I thought it would be.
Here are some pictures: http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...ps98be064b.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...FF4107C0B9.jpg Had to do some work on the latch. Here are some pictures: http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...10F615B819.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...11007AEB16.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...110A9337FA.jpg There is another post some where that shows the work on the door latch but I can't find it again. But I will keep looking. Hope everyone has a good night. |

Re: 1965 C-10 LS build
Just read thru you build. Looks good! I might have missed it, but what did you use to coat the floor in the cab?
Also, what did you do for headers for the LS? |
