Thanks! That's what I thought too. Some people just don't get it...
Thank you! I am VERY fortunate. She even popped the hood and repaired a fuel line issue roadside yesterday :metal:
Pics are a'comin'. The truck played a big part in the photo/video shoot after the ceremony, so there will be plenty o' media in the days to come-just waiting on processing/editing :waah:
Coming ASAP :)
I used Monroe-Matic 32301 rear/33033 front. The others were trash, so that's where I put them...

Your speed is inspiring. IM putting mine together right now. Not that fast though. Do you have a 9-5 job? I cant imagine you do. You have to do something that gives you a few days of free time.. If you do, thats an even BIGGER feat. Congrats on the truck and new life man. You deserve it.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Let me just say that the faux-tina on this truck is really good.
I stepped out the door at work and there it was, yeah in oklahoma.
Awsome looking even up close.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I do work a 9-5 (most times more), but am lucky enough to have VERY understanding supervision/management and a bunch of vacation saved up. I was only able to sustain that level of effort for a short while working towards getting it ready for the wedding. I can tell you honestly that everything else suffered because of it, but having it here makes it all worth-while; keep doing a little bit at a time and you will get yours done. Now, for me, it's back to 'normal', well, after the honeymoon :D
Thanks! My wife is LOVING all of the attention she's getting :chevy:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Man every time I look at your build it makes me want to get motivated. You moved so fast on this truck I'm embarrassed of how slow I am. I've been milking mine for almost years now......ouch
can't wait for the pictures! Congratulations!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Lotsa sacrifice to make it happen this fast, but well worth it to make my woman happy :)

Got a few previews from the photographer:

Try LIFETIME wood treatment. You'll find it at Schroeders log home supply.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Haha! Great pictures! Congratulations!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks all! We had a little fun with it... :smoke:
I will check into that- it has started to get a nice patina from just sun and rain...
Thanks! :D

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Bad ass man that is awesome man...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Truck looks great

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Those pics are way cool!!! Really look great with your truck as the centerpiece! Congrats!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks all! :D I think the truck is just a cool prop- the real centerpiece is in the dress- waiting on the photographer to get back to us with the 'good stuff'- this was just a preview...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Very true. The real centerpiece is the model inside of the dress. Nice, tasteful, 'playful' poses. The photog did some nice shots!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Those are the coolest wedding pics ive seen. I gotta make sure my truck is finished before i get married, so i can do some pics like that. Ive got time though, I'm in no real rush to do either.... LOL

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Cool pictures thanks for sharing. Job well done!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Got a few more of the professional photos- there were more than 850 total- this is just a few of the ones with the truck featured:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Couple more pics, one of my son in daddy's 'new' truck, and the armadillo groom's cake on his carving block :D

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

man i was hoping...you would post some pics of your truck and not all just pics of that pretty brunette....oh well maybe next time !! LOL...well done on both accounts, dig the photo work and the cake !!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

nice pics! congrats!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

luv the truck but were did you get your rear air spings

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks all! ...and hilarious, cheby :lol: Wife got a kick out of it...
I originally used a set of Slam Specialties RE7s; they are now AirLift Dominator 2600s, bolted in place of the rear coils

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

LOL...she is a beauty, you did well !!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Why did you change?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

thanks im going to check them out ps, 67-72 c-10s forever

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks! VERY fortunate- she's WAAAAY outta my league...
They were swapped into the Blazer to complete a matched set of Slams all around. There was apparently a worldwide shortage of RE7s at the time, so I ended up with the then brand new to the market Doms. They perform similarly, but have a softer feel. I will prolly swap back to Slams (SS6s this time) when and if these wear out...
Check out the suspension forum here for answers on how to mount them up. LOTS of guys have done this swap. Good luck!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Hey Gringo, congrats on the wedding. Great to things have leveled off for you, and i see from a ccouple of those pics, you have not gained any weight yet either.

Now get back to work on the truck!!
