1964 C10 db on 22s

[j.walters]

We bought this truck from an Amish guy. We also bought a 2001 silverado from another amish guy. The 01 truck was originally going to be a body drop on 22 truck. We started at a torrid pace building a 2x4 tube frame. Corvette rear independent suspension with a cantilever set up. Air ride tech control arms. It was going great then we lost interest and family became more of a priority. Along the way dad bought this C10 I fell in love with it instantly. Fast forward 6 years and I sell my old show truck and buy both trucks from dad and have the idea of a 64 with a LS and laying body...... and go

[j.walters]

The upper and lower control arms are on the original 01 front stub all air ride tech we made the bag mounts to match the arms

[j.walters]

This is the rear of our frame and one side of our cantilever. It is 28 inch longer than the 64 c10 and .5 inch narrower. Seems like an easy fir right.... ya thats what we thought to

[j.walters]

Got the cab centered up on the new frame and measured up to lay pinch perfectly

[NEWFISHER]

I'm in. Loking bad A$$$$$$$$

Our 10k mile ls motor and one 50 year old rust free short box and the boss testing out the huge seat

Little back Window has to go. Drove 4.5 hours to Pella Iowa to buy a big back glass section from brent in pella. He has tons and tons of 60~66 stuff. We found him on kc mo. Craigs.

[j.walters]

Should have waited to take piks until after the welds were ground.

[j.walters]

Found some rust. Behind the custom moldings on the side. A little metal work never killer anyone.

[j.walters]

Since we no longer have the 01 steering we neededto mate the old to thenewwhich is no prob. We used a slick column out of a 72 chevy and shortened it 8 inches jusrt for look on the inside. And it doesn't hurt when your 6'4 to have alil room

I wish I had known you were in Pella, I would have driven over to meet you. I only live 12 miles west. Ray

[j.walters]

Have you ever bought anything from those guys over in pella? Brent his dad and maybe uncle. They have a warehouse full of stuff I think they go out west and bring back a truckload of c10s

[j.walters]

The cantilever cams we had them water jetted out of 1/2 in steel.

[j.walters]

Building our bag brackets and mounting plates getting the cantilever assembled.

Not yet, I will have to give them a call when I start the body work on my 64. Next time you head this way give me some notice.

[j.walters]

Ya absolutely will. We might be heading up that way soon. Looking for a nice c60 grill so if nothing pans out here I'll be heading up

[TJ's Chevy]

Cool build!

[lowlife4life]

That's a beauty setup. The front will get miles o lift. I'm definatly watching this one. Love the wheels. Nothing better than tucking more than half the lug.

[j.walters]

Ya the front is the 01 silverado stub it should lift great and drive like a dream
