Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I just read through your build and you did a great job. Congradulations on getting married. Very nice truck.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Congratulations, she's a beauty. Truck looks good too ;). Mine was broke down during my wedding, I wanted the same kind of photos but had to use my dad's '48 f*rd truck.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
If I didn't mention it before, tell your new bride I said she's better lookin' than the truck (and I'm a truck guy ;) ).

Thoughts on wheel selection, guys? I've always had a fondness for the Cragars and sorta wanna be 'different', but would really like a set of grey spoke TT2s. Dirty hack: |
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
While I like the Cragars, they just don't hold a candle to early 'as-cast' looking 5-spoke wheels (TorqThrust's or similar/dead-ringer).
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
agree..love the look of the cast ones

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
grey TT2's. had a set on my old 80 dodge aspen (nova rip-off). looked tough! the 225 slant six sipping thru a one barrel carb wasn't so tough though. :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

Played with PS a bit more- stuck some Coy's on the truck, exactly like what I had on the Blazer. If I go this route again, it will be with a twist- unlike anything anyone else has. Of course, that's what I thought when i put the Coy's on the Blazer, now they're everywhere... |
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I like it !!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Nice truck brotha, and thank you for removing the 90's step side bed. The way the cab and bed flow together (especially on a fleet side) is one of the most beautiful lines on these trucks. Why anybody would put a newer bed on I don't know, great job thus far keep us posted!:gmc2:

I think the cast center ttII's would look really nice on your truck and would be my vote. What size you looking to go with.
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Super Slick! The wheels really help the patina!
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
everything has come out great on the truck.
You going to come over our way for Cruising the Coast? |

Was reminded, by the fact that we're headed to GoodGuys Lonestar Nats in a couple of weeks, that I had done some work on the truck in preparation for the trip, but had failed to update. Here's some crappy cell phone pics of the insulation I installed last week. It is from a guy I found on the HAMB, who goes by the name lobucrod. The insulation is supposed to cut down 97% of radiant heat up to 450*. From the difference I can feel on the firewall and floorboards, where it used to burn your feet, now exhibits no temperature change; I'd say it works- and quite well. I love finding cheap alternatives that actually perform... :chevy:
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I'm not on the HAMB....any link to the product?
|

Also check around Google for reviews. Couldn't find a bad thing written about it, and can't find anything bad to say myself. Good stuff- and cheap. :D |
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks for the link!!!....did you get the 40'...and did you find the need for the tape?
|

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks for the link its early today and I must be slow but did you buy 2 40 sq. ft. rolls and one big roll of tape? This looks to be a nice cheap alternative to dynamat. I'm very interested.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I just ordered some also. I have fat mat down now (almost done anyway) and will lay this over it. BTW, nothing wrong with bright shiny wheels on a patina truck either. Just saying...
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
do you just tape the mat to mat seams or all edges???

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Good looking truck man. Can't believe I haven't seen this running the roads before.
