nice truck! post pics of how you do your front tilt hood! i'm wanting to do the same but haven't started on it yet other then buy a few parts to start it!

Re: 61 c10
 

thanks man! I will do a tutorial on how i do my hood when I get to it, I have a few ways of doing it in my head, but just have to do some trial and error, right now i gotta get it mobile as it was just frame swapped and engine dropped in last night lol, as soon as its mobile the body work and fabrication will begin!

Welcome to the forum :D

I'll be looking forward to pics of this build.....

Re: 61 c10
 

Thanks captainfab! It will be 2010 gm aqua blue with a beige interior and metal bed floor from later model as well. It has a 350 and turbo 400 with the 6 cyl gears in the rear I have the original 283 I will build with the three speed eventually, also have a 400 small block with a serpentine setup I could take out of my Camaro and use. But don't really wanna take it out right now, the car is complete, can't bring my self to take it apart:chevy:

Coolness, I am dialed in to watch!
Cannot wait to see how you do the front tilt hood!

Re: 61 c10
 

So update on the hood, it's gonna be a little bit but it looks like with the help of my friend jasen the hood will automatically slide forward then tilt forward, on a track. Will post pictures when we get started, but right now we have to get it mobile, I decided to take the 400 small block out of my Camaro and use for this truck.
