Here she is my 1969 Chevy C-10. I would like to hear ideas from you guys. So far I plain on moving the cab back at least 6”. I would like to put a slight tilt on the cab leaning it forward and chop it but I'm worried about finding custom glass I can afford. I want to lower it as much as possible will probably notch the rear frame to do so. I need ideas for a grill and radiator and where to get a keg gas tank.

Thanks hotwheels!
This weekend I was able to move the cab back to where I wanted it about 9"

I know you are worried about the glass if you chop it , most of us only run windshields anyway .

Ya I was thanking that don’t really need side or rear but I would have know clue how to get a windshield.
I worked on the steering linkage today after work. Almost have it all linked up and stretched from the cab move.

Did I mention this is my first build!

Post up a pic or 2 with the cab moved back. Do you have the front end still?

One way of dealing with the glass is to drop the glass + frame intact into the firewall area. Seems to me that would be a hassle to work around though - like wipers, linkage, wiring, etc.

Depending on how much chop you want, you can just lay the windshield back.

the front was damaged really bad. i was able to save both fenders just enough to cut them and cover the outer part of the firewall just about 12"

I’m tossing the idea back and forth of trying the tire grinding to get a bigger ww.

 

[Sam_Fear]

Try it on a junk tire first to get the feel for it. There is a big thread about it on here.

thats where i got the idea from
