How-To & Tech

Ride Specs & Info

Ride Nickname:
Time wasting POS

Make:
Chevrolet

Model:
C-10

Year:
1965

Introduction / Overview:

Bought off of E-bay. I should have killed the kid that miss represented this POS. I also should have left it on the side of the road. I didn't do either. Too much time, and way too much money is turning this truck into a cool ride.

Drivetrain:
350 four bolt with a 350 turbo. Got a 10 bolt posi with 2.90 something gears for it as well. Work in progress and scattered all over my shop.

Chassis:

I've got the 2.5 dropped spindles and disc brakes on the front already. Have plans to install the 3 inch drop coils as well on the front side. In the back I've purchased CPP 5 inch dropped coils and 2 inch blocks. Also have the bolt in C notch and arm stiffner plates. Finally, I've got a new center section and poly bushings. Plans are to shorten the frame 12" and make it a short/wide. Same deal - all parts are still in the shipping carton pending spare time.

Wheels:

Who knows - this thing is still a POS!

Body:
Junk. Replaced all of the typical rotted sheet metal and have finally turned the corner. Thank god replacement parts for this model are dirt cheap. I'm dreaming of a two tone black and orange with a Gray interior.

Interioir:
Just got a set of Charcoal leather seats from a late model Chevy crewcab. Not sure at this point if I'm gonna waste them on this truck.
