How to assemble a 1967-1972 C10 bed when you convert from a longbed to shortbed.
Of all the diverse elements that make up the automotive hobby the classic trucks we know and love continue to grow in popularity, and some of the most sought after are ‘67-72 Chevrolet C10s.
Like most things for which we trade our hard earned money, supply and demand dictate the going rate for a vintage shortbed C10, and they aren’t getting any more plentiful or any cheaper. Back in the July 2024 issue of Classic Truck Performance magazine, editor Rob Fortier, addressed that very subject and pointed out that far more longbeds were produced than shortbeds. Never one to shy away from controversy, Rob then addressed those who object to the transformation from longbed to shortbed, in short hi...

How to make a 1963-1972 C10 longbed frame into a shortbed using a template to make sure it correct
Просмотров 42 тыс.14 дней назад
As a result, after years of service, many longbed trucks have the telltale signs of leading a rough life. Although longbed Chevy and GMC trucks have their followers, there’s no question that the shortbed versions are more popular with classic truck fans. Of course supply and demand being what it is, the more sought-after shortbed trucks bring higher prices when compared to longbeds, but that lo...

Taiwan Makes American Trucks Great Again! Tour of Sheet Metal and Replacement Parts Factories
Просмотров 427 тыс.2 месяца назад
We've all wondered what parts manufacturing looks like overseas. With so much of our classic truck (and car) parts being produced in Taiwan, our team at Classic Truck Performance decided it was time to jump on a 14 hour flight and brave the food options to find out for ourselves. Our trip focused on visiting factories producing reproduction sheet metal for classic cars and trucks but our advent...
Installing a Golden Star Classic Auto replacement grille on a 47-53 Chevy pickup.

Speaking of Golden Star, we're off to Taiwan today to visit the facilities where some of the sheetmetal is stamped, and we'll also get a firsthand, behind-the-scenes look at how the new Bla...

My response was simple: Why? It runs and well, to be quite honest, so I’ll probably stic...

    I have some evidence to contribute. With BICYCLE parts, the Taiwanese parts are better - a cultural thing because they want to be superior to mainland China. I am sure this carries over to automotive body parts as well. I can also attest that Taiwanese reproduction headlamps are excellent.

    There is no good reason, the big three, couldn't be selling, aftermarket sheet metal parts, and whole bodies.. Ignore the David Sawyer guys comment below.. Ford or GM, would sell these parts and bodies, as components, just like Mr. GT here.. They could have same disclosures and legal protections Mr. GT, Dynacorn and all of the others.. They just can't be bothered, they're to busy cramming electric vehicles, we never asked for down us consumers throats. And besides, they're too distracted looking down they're noses, at us hobby types, that have real money 💰... They won't, because too "woke", to see the opportunity.... Ford cancelled they're best selling Edge, just because, they are thought if they deprived us of that popular gas engine car, we'd just be inclined to buy their first gen, crappy electric vehicles, rushed to market, not fully tested and vetted. This is what happens, when Government, forces bad policy on an entire American manufacturing industry... They deserve the economic failure their destined for...
