AliveBoy Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Progress has been slow the last week or so, Thanksgiving etc slowed down my parts arriving from the states, so I can't do much without them and I've struggled to find someone to modify my gearbox for me, I've found someone now, but they are fully booked up until early January. So far only my lowering springs have arrived, I'm still waiting on the next 18 parts All I've really got done is that I've taken the engine back out and given the chassis rails a sanding. I've got new arch tubs on the way, so they and the firewall will be painted together in the new year before the engine goes back in permanently. 1 Quote
AliveBoy Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 Not much to report, just some primer going down all of my parts have arrived in Watford which is cool, so I'll be collecting them in the next few weeks. Next week I'll be putting the corvette brakes onto the truck and then fitting the new suspension springs/struts on the front as soon after as I can Progress will be slow now for a bit as Christmas is happening Quote
ZEUS Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Is this not finished yet! seriously though what a great project, I'm looking to find something similar to do now I've finished the house. Quote
mattross1313 Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Christmas is done now.....come on!! Quote
AliveBoy Posted December 30, 2015 Author Posted December 30, 2015 Christmas is done now.....come on!! sorry for the lack of updates! I'm waiting for my gearbox to be modified before this takes off (hopefully!) with speed! That should be happening early January I do now have parts though: Quote

atomic350z Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Yeah I can imagine a lot of expense lol nice one though, there's a nice Chevy c10 in black on eBay at the minute that's really cool only about 5k as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
AliveBoy Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Yes! I've seen it, trying to persuade my friend to buy it Not sure about the route 66 headlining though Quote
atomic350z Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Cool project though man, maybe re trim interior with red leather rather than cloth, some airbag suspension would be so cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

The eagle eyed will notice I have the same front grille to put on to mine, much prefer the Chevy front end to the GMC one Quote

AliveBoy Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 The 'gear lever' caught my attention - wonder if it is still fit for its original purpose It says it's not in the description I like it, was tempted by using a modified one of these for mine: I'm thinking probably not though Quote
AliveBoy Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 LOOK!!! I may have cut the hole a smidge too big though I finally got the gearbox back on Friday, really good service apart from the time delay and came in under the quoted price. This build has officially recommenced! 4 Quote
DoogyRev Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Awesome work Matt Although that engine looks tiny Quote
AliveBoy Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Awesome work Matt Although that engine looks tiny I know right! Bearing in mind it's a 6.2 It's going to have a really thick ron davis rad which will fill the engine bay a bit more, but it's definitlely going to have space for air Maybe a big block will be a future upgrade Quote
Stutopia Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 This is moving along nicely, great work Quote

AliveBoy Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 More progress! I decided to test fit the panels before I get the wiring done so that I can try and hide as much of it as possible to keep the bay clean and tidy. Front "fender" on: The new (to me!) grille/front end with the wing. The C10 grille matches with the reproduction wings, reproduction radiator core support, reproduction metal arch liner and the original c15 bonnet catch. These parts are pretty good copies I must say! Please ignore the mess of wires in the bay, they will be replaced and tidied 2 Quote
