[ruff kunt automotive]

At the end of last year i decided to bite the bullet and a truck ive allways had a soft spot for.
Ended up on the road to tauranga and picked my beloved she is
1965 c10 long wheel base sporting a late model junk 350 chev with 3 speed floor change manual 4.10 lsd rear end and drum brakes all round.

Plans for it were to just comply it as is and just shop truck'n for a while. But when i was told the seat belts were not up standard and would need lvv this is when out the window.

Car in it current state

Complete sandblasted frame
2.5" drop spindles and 4" drop spindes in front
5" coils in rear with 2" blocks
Sway bars front and rear
Adjustable pan hard rod
Disc brake conversion front and rear with pcd change to 5x5
All bushes and steering joints replaced
20x8 steel rims
Nv3500 alloy 5 speed trans mission

Underside of cab has been bear metaled and rust killed

Plans at the moment are to mini notch the rear end and build a gear box crossmember

Have been rather slack at the whole old school world but need to get back in the scene so any advice slash yarns fully welcome lads cheers

Process began with tackling the rust in the lower 1/4s of the  gaurds

Next on the list was to remove the cab and wellside from the chassis

 

And took to the underside with wire wheels to expose more rust
