So this is what we started with; a 1966 Chevy C-10 2WD from Texas and a wrecked 2006 Chevy crew cab short bed 2500HD with a Duramax diesel from Missouri.  The goal at the start of this project is for this truck to appear as a 1966 Chevy rolling down the road.  What lies beneath will be the 2006 Duramax drive train and chassis with a shortened frame, to accommodate the standard cab long bed.  We will be removing the I.F.S. and, replacing it with a Dana 60 from a late 70's Ford.  This project will be made possible with the help from companies such as:  TOYO TIRES, RBP, AUTOMETER,   ATTITUDE AIR BRUSH AND CUSTOM PAINT, and OFF ROAD DIRECT.  We plan to unveil the truck to Matt at the 4-Wheel Drive Jamboree in Springfield, IL on June 28-29, 2008 in front of TOYO TIRES/2 Brothers Custom Trucks Booths.  Please follow along and, watch the build as it progresses with week-by-week updates.
