See monthly update links above.

Wiring is pretty much done. Only took about a week to do.

New steering column. Cut the slot and holes for the neutral safety switch

5/4/11
Looking at the underside of the left inner fender
Steering column is now linked to the steering box
 

5/6/11 – Fenders are bolted on. Also did the cowl corners.
I finally pulled the paper off the top to see what the black looks like with the rest of the truck

Just seeing what the grill will look like. Still have to bodywork the grill support.

5/7/11 – Saturday’s project. Installation of the Dynamat

4/11/11 – The wheels have arrived!!

Edit: Added 4/5/21 for reference
Post I added on the 67-72 C10 forum

Anyone have pics of a 60-66 with the Boss 338 wheels?
I did a search, and the only one I came up with is justbad’s truck (nice by the way).
Found some pics and useful info in the 67-72 forum, but their setup is a little different.

Here are my susp mods
front is disc with 13″ rotors (CPP Big Brake), with the 1.25” rotors
Rear is stock 66 C10 12 bolt with disc brakes/12″ rotors.
Seems to measure 62 1/2 wide from where the wheel mounts.
My SBF width seems to be 75″ wide from inner lip to inner lip.
So I come up with 12.5 total wheel mounting point to fender edge.
Divide that in half and I have 6.25 on each side from mounting point to lip edge

The Boss 338 20×10 has a 6.25 bs which leaves 3.75 up front.
+ I figure about an inch for the tire sidewall. So that adds up to 4.75

If what I figured works out, then I would have a gap of 1.5″ between the sidewall and the fender lip. + You also almost have to factor in the actual FAT lip of the Fleetsides. Almost 3″ or so from the outer lip to the sidewall. Probably too much, so I was thinking of running 1″ spacers.
Inside is no problem as I’ll be running some widened stock tubs.

A couple of things that concern me is the ‘spindle’ problem where the wheel will not fit the 1.25 rotor/spindle without modifying. Looks like Boss might have that corrected according to their blog. They only seem to fit the light duty 1″ thick rotors
Also, the backspacing, ONLY one choice for the 20×10 (6.25) for the rear wheel. Wish they had a 5.5 (like the Foose Legend).
I plan on going 18×8 up front and 20×10’s in the rear.

Sooooooo… looking for any pics of them on a 60-66.
Along with what you did to make them work.
Thanks

 

All tires are came in. All are mounted…ready to rock ‘n roll….

 

The first time the truck has sat on the ground in 8 months!!!

The “Maiden Voyage”
video to be posted soon!

By the way, the truck died because I had too much fule pressure going to the carb.
 

 

Video of the truck at idle

I sent all the moldings off to be polished. The same guy that polished the front windshield moldings is doing these moldings.

 

5/19/11 – Sprayed the inside of the hood

Hood painted 5/25/2011 (also painted other parts including grill surround)

 

Hood is installed – 5/26
Parklamps installed. Went with clear lenses and yellow bulbs. 
Already tested. Works like a champ. With the new steering column the truck now has emergency flashers.

Buffing the grill surround 5/29

My wiring for the headlights and horn relay. The two relays on the right are for the headlights

Grill surround installed 5/29. Original surround

First pics outside with the grill surround and the bumper. Bumper still needs to be aligned

Still have the core support to surround covers to install.

Reflection off the underside of the hood (wetsanded and buffed this so it has an excellent reflection!!!
