1965 C-10 Project

Having the air cleaner inside the passenger compartment will make it sound like you have a giant shop vac running constantly. Trucks looks amazing.

Awesome build. These year trucks are one of the few that looks great as a step side or a fleet. I love the changes to the hood and the underhood area is going to look great when you get it finished.

Inspiring work. I have to keep telling myself to finish my Nova first then start modding the C-10.

I am actually a little concerned with this, hopefully some dynomat will quite it down some. Wouldn't mind hearing it, but don't want it to be obnoxious.

It's a 72 4x4, was used as a grass rig for a fire dept, then a nursery bought it but it had carb issues so they didn't use it.
It only has 18k miles on it, it had VERY little rust, but was pretty beat up, the body mounts were coming through the floor it was split all over the place..
All of that is fixed now, just need to get the wiring done, paint the bed and put a bed floor in.

It's been on the back burner for a while, did most of that last winter, will probably finish it this winter..

The truck build is on my facebook page along with many other projects.

Are you shaving the door handles or leaving them alone?

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Got a set of ring brother handles for it.

Beautiful work! Makes me want to get an english wheel and rip out all of the junk I have welded into the van...

I've been lurking on these forums for a long time, but never registered until today when I found this thread and just had to comment. Saw the truck posted on the LSXtv Facebook page and followed the links here. I was just amazed by some of your ideas and the work you have done. I'm building an LS powered 64 C10 stepside, and my build is very similar to this. I had a few of the same ideas like the smoothed firewall and dash for mine. Seeing them done just makes me want to work harder to get mine finished! Inspirational! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comments, any link to yours? I'll have to see if I can find that facebook link to.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Found it, I have never been to that site before.

All I can say is awesome fab work

[acegto]

Almost a full month of no updates...i love custom trucks and i'm dying inside a little.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Lol.. that's awesome. Glad you like it..
Not much to update. a little boring over here, tig welded the front inner support rails and ground down, also bed mounts are tacked into place.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

I feel as if i'm in that zone of spend lots of time on the truck and feel as if their is little progress!

[wellis77]

I feel your pain...

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Lol.. I think anybody that builds something goes through it at one point or another in the project.
