Amsleys 68 C10-V

[bill amsley]

ive had this 68 short bed chevy for a couple of years and been waiting for the time to do something crazy with. i didnt want to build something to crazy expensive in these uncertian economic times, so i decided to build a drifter/show truck on a lean budget (under 25k ). i scored a LS6 6spd, out of an 04 CTX-V ,pretty cheap on ebay. ive been working with jason rushfourth to come up with some crazy metal work. i dont know whether to call it the LIL RED DRIFTER or C10-V . im truly building this truck to lay rubber and have fun with . bill

Bill , neat truck . I like the C10-V name fits pretty well.
Let me know if you need anything getting that LS engine running. Since your on a budget look me up for some good used parts time to time. Might even have some extra HP stuff for ya at some point if you need it.

heres a few pics of my very slow frame progress. ive installed a rear four bar from fat mans, and have the frame partially boxed. working with 1/8 plate steel is a lot tougher to work with than the 18-20 guage that im used to . i pre fit the engine & trans and re pulled it ,to do the boxing. im doing all this work at home so ignore the mess. im only geting about 2hr a day to play with this project , so i hate to spend 1 hr of that cleaning up . bill

Any reason you spent the money to upgrade to the 4-link vs. using the OE truck arms? Seems the OE stuff would have worked fine for your application & mild ride height change w/o adding the the build costs (since you did mention something about a budget).
