- Stripping down the frame, rust treatment and a fresh coat of paint. I've said this project isn't a restoration but it seems like it's getting closer to that with every part of the project I take on.

Nice to see you at it again! Try using oven cleaner the next time you need to clean a gunky under carriage component again. Spray it on and let it sit about 20 minutes. Then scrub and power wash. Does wonders.
That’s a great idea
Great video, sir. I have been down the same path this last week. Degreasing, pressure washing and removing parts. After painting, it'll be ready to reassemble. (Insert waiting on rain to stop as I too work somewhat in the driveway) Thanks for posting !
Awesome! I just tore down my frontend today...hope to be fitting everything up very soon...
I want to thank you for posting your vids it has lit a fire under my ass to get my 77 stepside done and your vids have helped my every step of the way on my frame off in the garage build
Awesome to hear. Keep going
I know there are plenty of other videos on replacing, cutting, patching panels, cab corners, rockers, etc. But it would be cool to see your approach. Hope we get to see some footage of that as well.
Ill show as much as I can
I started watching when you shortened the box but haven’t gotten to watch the newer videos, hope you got to enjoy it for awhile before tearing it down again. You’re doing a great job rebuilding the truck, can’t wait to watch more👍
I drove it for a bit but the in-line 6 with the single barre carburetor was a pain in the ass and my transmission stopped shifting into second. So if that was coming out, it made sense to tear it down and do it all right.
I’m glad you decided to keep it this thing is going to be so awesome when your done with it
It’s certainly getting there
Nice job,I've done all the up grades your doing now only thing i did different was drop spindles.enjoy watching your videos,keep them coming.
Drop spindles are being painted as we speak
I love your content, i was working on my c10 then i came inside to take a break and your video popped up and now you have a new subscriber 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
you legit have the best channel
Nice job with that frame!
good to see you back at it I was just wondering the other day when youd be doing another update, I had actually just finished painting the frame for my c10 that made me think of yours, I also used VHT chassis and roll bar paint. I went crazy though and wire wheeled my whole frame to bare metal now im getting ready to install my cpp c-notches, trailing arm cross member and the front cross member lol look forward to your next video keep them coming
That’s the way to do it
Welcome back with the videos man nice job
The problem with rattle bomb paint, even VHT is it stays kinda soft. You can always touch it up though. DuPont Emeron is a good way to go.
Absolutely love this video dude 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯
Great video
I’m preparing to do the same rebuild, clean and paint my frame 67 chevy.
Was there a specific site wheee you ordered your parts?
Thank you
*Spongebob Narrator Voice*
2 and a half hours lateel 😅 pretty cool! 🤘
Looking good I need to look into the Eastwood stuff
i wasn't sure what to think of it when i ordered it but i'm impressed after using it
Good job men
if you haven't yet get yourself a front sway bar for your truck you wont regret it
Are you near STL? Noticed the cards hat. I live in STL and have an 82 C10
Awesome bro !!
Quick ? Do you know the size of bolts and nuts to mount the engine and control arm crossmeber ? That go onto the frame ?
How much of estwood rust encapsulateand and vht paint you spent on the complete chassis
And how brite is the finish
Im trying to do the same thing on my 72 c10
If you got the pads from CPP (aka Chinese performance parts) I highly recommend getting an upgrade version. They are the worst pads ever. Tons of dust and they squeak really bad.
pads are from Early Classic. Likely the same pads I would imagine
Sparkyguy277 do you have the car/truck model CPP grabbed the calipers from so it will be easier to find better pads? Thanks!
Thanks for the great how tos. Very helpful. I'm working on '65 C10. Amateur. One question: why did you go with the VHT Chassis & Roll Bar over an Eastwood chassis paint? Were you worried about compatibility with the Eastwood rust encapsulator at all? Thanks
Bc I can get the chassis paint at any auto parts store if I needed more
How do you do a footwell???
I've watched most of your videos but I was curious about the rear end. Did you make a video on that? did you have to rebuild the rear end?
Leaving it alone for now
Where did you find the torque specs for every front end bolt and nut
Factory assembly manual. You can find the entire thing online for free
Really appreciate your videos. Helped me a ton in my C10 build so far. Much thanks. I am very curious why you replaced the upper control arms and not also the lower. Are they an improvement over OEM? I'm about to tear apart my front-end and it's a bit overwhelming.
I have the same question
@@daviddolezal1921 I figured it out... upper control arms are where most of the alignment happens. If you lower your C10 with drop spindles, the stock upper control arms require a lot of shims to get proper alignment where these aftermarket tubular upper control arms are designed with an offset for lowered trucks, requiring fewer shims. Lower control arms are not adjustable hence the reason the don't really need to be replaced.
@@jt8251 - Thanks for the information.
How many cans did you use on your frame, Ive been talking and looking around at and about frame paints. I wanna go with Eastwood’s frame paint but now I wanna look at that rust reformer. Notice the video was post a year too, how’s it holding up?
1 of the rust encapsulator and 2 or 3 of the chassis paint
Hey I have a c20 can I use most same mods for c10 on my c20 like brake suspension kit engine mounts etc
Some, not all.
Dude what’s that part you took off at 3.08, trying to identify for parts, Is it the sway bar? What are the front facing arms that attach to the chassis so I can order the right bushes please?
That was all the steering components. That particular part is the drag/center link. For the front facing arms I think you mean the bumper brackets.
3” drop spring and 2” drop spindle. Does that equal 5” drop?
👍🏼
How come you didnt take the crossmemember out...i mean if you had it this far taken apart.
lilpoindexter I am thinking to take mine out as well but after seeing his I might not 🤔
It never crossed my mind. Seems like overkill.
Splicer frame.......minus $5k from the price.
