The Bleu Build | Bagged 1969 Chevrolet C10

[@drew7215]

Looks awesome 👍! Im in New Zealand andI've just purchased a 69 c10, I just wish all of this stuff was available off the shelf here. Shipping from USA to NZ is pretty expensive! Guess I'll just have to start saving 😂.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks! This hobby isn’t for the faint at heart haha.

[@cherokeerossaltillo3467]

Truly beautiful, very good restoration work and very good taste. I'll take your truck as a reference for mine.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Awesome. Thank you for the feedback.

[@DadbrosGarage]

Love this truck! You give me great ideas for my C10

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Awesome. Thank you!

[@Jb-ys3wu]

Another great video!

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thank you!

[@seanjhonson6441]

Awesome info, I’m basically building the same truck!

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Sweet!! Share your progress with me on Instagram!

[@Chickeneyegarage]

I like your shirt. I have the same one. Nice truck by the way 👍🏻

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks man!

[@rickgreen1272]

I liked the video Travis. Keep up the good work.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks man.

[@juancantu8070]

Awesome work! Why did you choose two tanks versus one? Trying to bag a 1964 c10, but I have the same challenges. It's a step side, and the gas tank is relocated to the rear. Your help is truly appreciated

[@SIMPLE.C10]

One 5 gallon tank won’t fit behind the seat. I had to use two. A stepside that has a mini notch and gas tank in the rear is a challenge. The only option is either in the bed or behind the seat. Two 2.5 gallon tanks fit nicely there.

[@juancantu8070]

@@SIMPLE.C10 thank you for your prompt response. Your videos are very helpful

[@davegerrard6857]

It looked far better with the tinted windows!

[@SIMPLE.C10]

You’re the first person that has ever said that. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewmelton1852]

Love your truck and your channel. Would like to get a similar result with my 69 stepside. Could you let me know what bag pressure you find is the optimum front and rear for best ride quality? and how much taller is it at this ride height compared to the look in the video?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

The pi. Is close to where you can drive. I usually had about 80 in the front and 40 in the back

[@marcmccrory8644]

I found this truck listed for sale on Hemmings, what an awesome truck! Is it still for sale?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I think he sold it already.

[@marcmccrory8644]

Thanks for getting back to me. By finding Bleu, I found your KZbin channel and you have new subscriber. I got my eye on a few other C10's and now I know where to start with upgrades 😁. I thought you were the one selling because it had your video listed with it. He texted me that he sold it a few weeks ago.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

So cool! Thank you

[@adamcabrigo]

Any idea what c notch bolt on kit would fit a g series van?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Not this one but they have one for that model probably.

[@miguellerma21]

Quick question did you empty your gas tank before cutting the frame for the c notch

[@SIMPLE.C10]

No I didn’t. I unhooked the gas lines from the tank inside the cab.

[@davidvalenzuela201]

I was wondering, did you have to install a dropped cross member for the trailing arms so there wouldn't be any drive shaft clearance issues?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Not on a mini notch. You only do that on a large step notch.

[@joeasbury974]

What did you have to do with the front fenderwells?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I left inner fenders but it touched them when I was all the way down. I planned to go with mild slosh tubs that give you two more inches without moving the battery.

[@gerrysayong1530]

What is the overall height of your front tires and rears ? I want the same rake look but I didn’t want to do the air ride. I’m more of a static guy. I want to know how much drop I can do without doing the bags. I have a 71 c10 stepside. Thank you .

[@SIMPLE.C10]

You can go with a 4-6 drop and it will look good. My front wheels and tires were about 27 inches tall.

[@gerrysayong1530]

Thanks man

[@POLVO1980]

What size rear shocks did you use? I have the same relocation kit and c notch

[@TaryllAlston]

Hey beautiful truck. Have a question. I have a 1968 c10 stepside. And i love the stance on your truck. Love it. I wanted to try coilover kit instead of air ride. Is it possible to have coilovers on truck with this stance and still drive it with no rubbing problems?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

The front would need to be higher than this truck. It was sitting right on the inner fenders. You could get close.

[@Josh-gy2tq]

Would those rear shock relocation mounts work if you do a large notch in the back? And would you recommend a mini notch or a large notch like you did on black dice?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Depends on how low you want to go. If you aren’t going all the way down you don’t need a big notch. The relocation brackets will work with a large notch but they aren’t at the best angle on the application.

[@jeffdach7576]

Hello sir, I have a 71C10 that I just put bags in the front this weekend. I have porterbuild upper and lower control arms and 2 1/2 drop spindles. My goal is to put the fenders about at the edge of the rims. I have 255 45 20 on the front. I have not got a control system yet I am just filling the bags with shop air for now. My question is about aligning the truck. I ran it up to a friends shop and set up the alignment machine on it. I set it at 65psi where I thought it looked like good driving ride height. I set the alignment then raised and lowered the bags and set it back to 65psi the alignment was way out... What are you doing to align your trucks? I understand it wont be dead on but I dont want to buy 500$ tire every 500 miles either. I would Greatly Appreciate your ideas on this. Thank you for your time.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I’ve never had a truck aligned. I measure it the best I can and set it. I need to find a shop that does it locally but I haven’t yet. My trucks drove straight and seemed to be fine but I haven’t put a ton of miles on any of my trucks.

[@kacismith3166]

Question- after building your trucks do you keep them or sell them and then start on a whole new project?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I build them the way I like them then put a big price tag on em. After they sell, I look for my next project. I currently have two trucks so I plan to keep one and drive while I work on the other one.

[@jaysmith6383]

What color code is that blue ?

[@jimmygreer1286]

👍🏾

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks for watching.

[@frente2zapatista]

How do you find good deals on your rides???? I can’t seem to find any good trucks for a decent price 😔😔😔😔

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I paid a pretty penny for this one. Deals are out there though. Sometimes not finding a deal quickly, leads you to the perfect truck.

[@frente2zapatista]

@@SIMPLE.C10 I got to keep my eyes peeled…. If am not mistaken you have posted Looking for a C-10 30K and under before getting #noassociation

[@SIMPLE.C10]

You can find lots of trucks under 30k. I find all mine on Facebook marketplace.

[@erictaylor4323]

Are those 22x9 rims?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Yes they are

[@americanfamiliesfirst2790]

I've think i have seen this truck in a car show. Do you you live near Nashville Tennessee?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Yes. I live in Murfreesboro. It was at South Eastern Truck Nationals before I sold it.

[@juanh4816]

Is this the same way 63 stepside was built?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

No. This truck only has a mini notch. I encourage you to go back and watch the building on a budget and the Bleu build. The main differences is the blue truck doesn’t have cut fenders, a monster notch, or raised bed floor. It’s more of a mild bagged build. It only took a weekends to bag the blue truck.

[@LowSlowSilverado]

What is the color ?!?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I don’t have the paint code. Sorry! Thanks for your support though.
