OL BLU QUICK OVERVIEW

Below is a summary of Ol Blu's history and technical facts. If you want the full story, click the button...

FULL STORY HERE

Truck / History:

  • 1964 C10, originally with an I-6 and Three-On-The-Tree
  • My Dad (Al) bought this truck (his 2nd first-gen C-10) in 1983. This was his sole work truck until he retired.
  • I learned to drive in this truck in 1984 and bought it from him in 2003.
  • Throughout this 11-year project, I did everything (with some occasional help from friends/family) except:

              Sandblasting the frame & firewall

              Building Engine

              Rebuilding Trans

              Firewall Lettering

              Windshield Installation

Engine & Transmission:

  • 10-liter Big Block Chevy with Edelbrock Pro Flo 4 XT Fuel Injection.
  • My brother (Brent) built the engine for a 1970 Coupe Deville, hence the Chevy valve covers that say "Cadillac", which he thought was funny. 
  • I got the engine and kept the valve covers as another joke.
  • It took me a couple years to realize my C10 has a 10-liter engine. This was completely unplanned.
  • 4L80E trans with US Shift Quick 4 Controller.

Frame / Suspension:

  • The frame's back-half is completely custom.
  • Air ride suspension with ALP4 controller.
  • Factory front suspension with cupped lower A arms.
  • Limited-slip rearend from 2000 Silverado. Narrowed 8" by and moved rearward 1.5".
  • Rocket Racing wheels, 18 x 9 and 18 x 12. 
  • Mickey Thompson tires, 275/45R18 and 345/35R18.

Body:

  • Cab, hood, grill, cowls, doors and fenders are factory GM.
  • Shaved handles with remote control solenoids.
  • Front rollpan is for squarebody, heavily modified.
  • Front fenders extended down to match rollpan.
  • Heavily modified 1970 Camaro RS split bumpers.
  • Custom taillights.
  • Bed floor is yet to be done.

Interior:

  • Retro stereo with hand-made bezel.
  • 1998 Silverado Seat (not reupholstered... yet)
  • Recreated gun rack (Dad actually drove around with guns) with Daisy Red Rider BB gun. Yes, I know, I'll shoot my eye out.
  • The interior is not done, a lot of work left to do.
