Total Cost Involved Engineering (TCI)
Multi-functional '63-'87 Chevy K-10 Pro1 4x4 Chassis
Total Cost Involved Engineering (TCI), the Ontario, California-based company with more than 50 years of chassis design experience, has introduced an American-made, multi-functional '63-'87 Chevy K-10 Pro1 4x4 chassis designed for off-road or daily driving. Like TCI's recently introduced Pro1 chassis for the '69-'72 K5 Blazer, the new chassis is manufactured with TCI's triple wall frame rails featuring 10-gauge plate steel; it is fixture welded to the desired profile; and includes a front and rear four-link suspension developed with the assistance of Currie Enterprises and RockJock engineers.
The triple-wall framerail design, also known as Boxed Beam, features a third vertical wall down the middle of the frame rails designed to provide improved torsional rigidity and strength. The widened front half of the frame provides additional steering and more header clearance. Engineered as a direct replacement, the Pro1 4x4 chassis for the '63-'87 K-10 is built around a late model LS/LT engine/trans platform. It uses a driver-side output Atlas transfer case, and the chassis is offered with customizable options, including axles, steering, suspension and drivetrain, including a Currie 44 front axle, Currie 60 rear axle, RockJock high-steer arms and Fox shocks.

Dent Fix Equipment
RIV-E Battery-Powered Systems
Dent Fix Equipment, the Los Angeles-based manufacturer of collision repair tools, has announced the expansion of its professional riveting lineup with the RIV-E Multi-Function Riveter series. While Dent Fix's pneumatic riveters, like the DF-SPR70, are designed to deliver up to 10 tons of force for demanding applications, the new RIV-E series addresses the growing need for mobility and operational flexibility in modern collision repair facilities. The RIV-E 80 delivers up to 8 tons of computer-controlled pressure. In comparison, the RIV-E 60 is designed to provide 6 tons of force--both engineered to expand repair capabilities to areas where pneumatic systems cannot reach.
Both models are designed to feature:
- Multi-Function Capability: Self-piercing, flow-form, solid, and blind (with optional adapter) rivet applications in one portable system. It also performs hole punching, rivet removal and flattening.
- Controlled Precision: Consistent, repeatable results that match OEM specifications.
- Extended Runtime: Two batteries are included, designed to provide 300+ rivets per battery charge with rapid 60-minute recharging.
- Ergonomic Mobility: Smart design enables repairs in confined spaces and elevated positions.
The RIV-E 80 and RIV-E 60 are available immediately through Dent Fix's network of authorized distributors or dentfix.com. Both models are backed by comprehensive support and integrate seamlessly with existing Dent Fix Equipment consumables.
