Remember to counterbore the steering shafts where all the set screws lock the joints to the shafts. Those set screws need a seat. Don't forget loctite too
The C10 swapped is looking cool. with alittle fab-work, some elbow grease, and some Englishtown engineering, she will be one of the top set-up in town..
Looking good 👍 I wish I wasn’t so lazy about editing 😅 been driving mine around town for like a month but according to RUclips it’s still just a bare chassis 😂
Ok, I might be crazy, and it might be pricey (hopefully you could source one secondhand), but I think this C60 needs _at least_ an 871 Detroit Blower, if not a 1071 Blower sticking out of the inevitable hood.... plus either a 66 step side bed, or a nice _simple_ and _clean_ flatbed made of a tube perimeter with wood floor, and just some stations /mounts to mount it to the frame....no backrack, no fenders, no boxes... just the perimeter frame, wood, and some round incandescent lights mounted underneath it. (I'd still prefer the 66 stepside though, but definitely the blower!! 😅)
Just so you know, you should always try to make your brackets out of sheet _steel_ and NOT aluminum, as aluminum will stress fracture going down the road....it should be fine if you make 4 for all 4 mounts, but for future reference.... once it's bent once, it's work hardened, if it gets bent, or vibrates back the opposite way enough times, it'll snap
Semi trucks use aluminum brackets. They're thicker but they use them. Probably varies with the type of aluminum you're using as well because just like steel not all aluminum is the same
This truck is supposed to be a rustomod not a rustoperfect. I'd use that steering column the way it is, and just hang an air freshener off that column key location. I'd also install a small flat steering wheel instead of a deep steering wheel.
Question but could you run car accessories and water pump like Camaro and that would bring the pulleys and belts closer to the motor giving you more space for a radiator and elec fans ?
Yes issue is the car balancer is a different offset then the truck one so you can swap everything but it would be a lot of work to change it all you can run a Camaro pump on a truck with water pump spacers tho I did that on our Buick build
Hey there, love the progress on this thing. Its looking badass. Out of curiosity do you have to weld in a bung to the radiator for the steam port for use on the LS? Also are you thinking about shortening the frame for bed? If so that would look sweet and I would just fab up some extensions to the running boards to keep the flow to the rear wheel arch.
I’ll probably use an adapter block for the rad hose like I did in my Buick for the steam port. The frame I’m kinda up in the air I think I’ll just leave it long so it kinda looks like the og truck with the long bed make a flat bed for at and add some tool boxes under it to meet the bottom step

I don't understand why you just didn't use the old c60 steering column. Yeah you might have to do some modifications. But i don't see why it wouldn't work out in the end. If i was you i would take a good look at the original and think on it a few days. They all work out the same. Also you could still use the original wheel if you did that. I'm just the kind of guy that likes to use what I have, so to save money. Seen a couple of places you could of done that. But oh well. Still hoping that you're going to do some metal work on those fenders. Those are kinda mug ugly definitely in need of some heavy metal work. Personally i hate them big flares!
@Rustomod you may be able to cut it down. That's what I would try first. I have seen other guys do that. But you will have to weld a new end on the bottom of the shaft. Another thought would be to find a c10 one. But first I would try to shorten it. That's if that is possible.
What about the bed for it? Truck bed? Flatbed? Etc I've been wondering
Flat bed

@@lancethelocal and a diving board
Weird way to say ramp truck @@Rustomod
I've been waiting for this channel! That's awesome! Can't wait to see next one!
More to come!

Definitely will do I didnt do it yet because im still figuring it out but great point!
Love the build finally the work horses get some love
Me too!

Yessir!
Best build on RUclips. Excited to see this one done 🤘🏻👊🏻
Dude I had no idea this uploaded 😂
I’d suggest a ididit steering column! Very cost effective and gets the job done! Keep up the great work! I love this build.
Ill have to reach out to them I had this one in hand probably will order one soon.
@@Rustomodi second the ididit column i put one in my 64GMC works perfectly in
If you cut the section out of the firewall of the donor vehicle and weld it into the build werks great
Lovin this build! I like your thoughts on how your doing this. Lookin great.
Thanks!
I want! I want! I NEED this!!!😍
Start building!
Looking good 👍 I wish I wasn’t so lazy about editing 😅 been driving mine around town for like a month but according to RUclips it’s still just a bare chassis 😂
Yeah I hear ya!
I kind of dig the spot lights on the bumper.
Same they are staying

These are 5052 not 6061

Cool truck
Thank you
well done sir!
Thank you
You keep saying "we", who is we? When you talk to yourself are you having a staff meeting? 😎
Me and my wife that helps me out behind the scenes
Love this build!❤❤❤❤❤
Looks awesome 👍👍
Thanks!
I would love to build something like this. It is nice.
Thanks!

Yeah I’ll make it work!
Thanks
New recent sub, cool project as well as past projects! Showing support 👍
Appreciate the support!

O c60 brasileiro é diferente. Confira na Internet.
Looking good, my progress is slow… 1” double D shaft for hooking up to the rack and pinion?
Yes sir
Переверни радиатор вентилятором наружу и пипка подойдёт к расширительному бачку и кронштейны подойдут.

Would an older c10 pickup also fit on a silverado chasis?
Yes definitely if you see some of my older videos I did a 68 c10 on an Escalade frame
Should have used a 1 ton donor.

Do you think I can use a 2008 Chevy 3500 express van for a project like yours.
Absolutely!

Check out the first video of the build the original column is super long I’d like to use it but it’s way too long it would hit the ground haha
@Rustomod you may be able to cut it down. That's what I would try first.

Do you know if you a ASTRO van one
I’m not sure but I bet it’s very similar
@@Rustomod they measure shorter
just cut the end off of the water pump . i have been running it like that for 2 years
Maybe I’ll try that thanks!
