Thanks Joe!

Must be a twin, I don't plan on selling this one! Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍

Thanks! Your dad sounds like a man of good taste

I love the '69 front end, and I'm down with all ride heights. This one is pretty much stock, I just stuffed the biggest tires underneath that would fit

Thanks buddy!

‘71 other then that, same here

Go for restore then consider a custom job.

That was my original plan actually. It ended up being way more cost effective once I found the 12 bolt and the squarebody front subframe for way cheaper than a front disc conversion kit and a posi unit for the eaton rear end. I was planning on steelies and fat tires either way though, it's my favorite look. Thanks for watching!

I agree in certain respects. I think the short beds look good low with the right wheels/tires, but the long beds look terrible lowered or with too small of tires. I used to have a '72 4x4 long bed that looked awesome lifted and on 35" tires, but the 2wd long bed is tough to get the look right. I like the way I have this one setup, but I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I've had a '72 and the factory discs were a big selling point. Not too hard of a swap though on these earlier trucks

Awesome! The coil spring trucks ride super smooth, I'm still stoked on all the upgrades I did. Good luck with your build!

How’s that c20 build coming? I’m just starting a 69 c20 with a 454.

@@rowdy3837 It's coming along. I am about to get it running in the next week or two. Everything takes longer than I thought it was going to, so I decided to do it all at once. Short bed conversion, leaf spring to coils, drop spindles and lower springs 2.5/4 , changed to a 12 bolt rear end, disc brakes all around, hydroboost, headers and new exhaust and electric fans. Also along the way I cleaned and painted everything that I could. I was lucky that it was a truck from the desert, so there was no rust, just black widows and hornet nests in all the wrong places. Good luck with your build, I wish I had a 454 in mine, but the 350 is running strong, so I don't want to mess with it right now.

Phase 2 kind of got put on the back burner. I just moved to Utah for a new job and had to leave the C10 behind with some family for a little bit. It's on the long list of things to get done though, thanks for watching!

Thank you, it's a ton of work as I'm sure you know! Worth it though

Thanks! These are Wheel Vintiques, they're made with the hubcap nubs. I love the steelie/dogdish look but wanted some wider than stock. They're great, but a little pricey

Thanks! Part 2 got put on hold for now, life gets in the way of projects sometimes

Thanks Pete! The paint code is 4503AA - Light Green

@@DoubleArrow Thank you

Hah you're right! I think I found the chrome ones on ebay, and the white ones on the 67-72 chevy truck forums. Gotta always be looking and a deal will pop up from time to time

Comment above said Comet and a green scotch bright pad.

Thanks! And yeah, all the sheet metal is the same, the differences are only in the chassis which is why I was able to swap 1/2 ton parts in there.

Comet and a scotchbrite pad. It didn't turn the rust black, but scrubbed off the top oxidized layer exposing that black primer underneath. This trick only works on old single stage paint, nothing with a modern clear coat

Thanks dude! I used a green scotch brite pad and some Comet. It's basically a mild abrasive that takes the top oxidized layer off of the old single stage paint.

Thanks! I used C10 springs, C20's would've been pretty stiff. The offset of those Wheel Vintiques is close to 0, I can't remember off the top of my head though, sorry

Thanks! It was from a squarebody, not sure of the year but probably mid/late 70's

Yep, I found it on advrider . com. There are several routes to choose from and those guys are the greatest resource, super helpful

Yep stock height. I don't know as much about squarebodies but I'd be willing to bet you could fit 33"s with the right wheel size/spacing

@@DoubleArrowThank you

Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT, 33" x 12.50" x 15

@@DoubleArrow Thank you.

I think i used some VHT frame/axle paint just in a spray can. I first wire wheeled/sand papered it down, then used a coat or two of primer below that though

It's in the works, I hit a financial speedbump that made me push it back a little bit.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm always trying to get better with my edits and this one is a little rough around the edges haha

I used a primer then VHT chassis/rollbar paint

Comet

@@DoubleArrow what does that do

Comet and a green Scotchbrite pad. Only works on old single stage paint, but it works great in the right situation

Restoration. Not a “restore”. You should’ve said restoration, o.k. not a “restore”.
