Re: Birth of a C10

Love the thread, found it on another search.

Tell me more about living with the Vent Shades on your doors please.

Thanks.

Re: Birth of a C10

I've got a set on my '76 and I like them. They're pretty common I think. I think they look cool and are functional. Leave the window down a little when it rains. I don't know if that helped but thought I'd tell you what I thought of my ventshades. I love this build. Happens to be one of my top ten on the board. Great story and a great looking truck.

Re: Birth of a C10

Anything new going on with your truck?

Re: Birth of a C10

Losthope, just ran across your thread and I enjoy your work and how your truck has turned out. Glad you took a chance on it. I know you're busy with all of the other projects you have and it's been a while since you posted, but I had to say my favorite idea you had was the bottle opener on the dash. Cool.

grizz the vent shades are nice , i can drive with it raining and have window open and majority of the rain stays out :)! only down fall is that i always wear a ball cap and if im reaching out side the truck into the cab the little button on top my ball caps stick up just enough to catch and almost rip my head off every time in a violent jerking motion! drivers side vent shade has a small dent where it happens all the time HAHAHA

Dont know how many of you guys are on Instagram but you can follow me on there at @Losthope66 probably see more stuff on there sooner then i post other places.

Re: Birth of a C10

So glad to see all is well. Glad u got a shop as well. Good luck on the home loan. That will be a great investment. Never regretted mine.

Re: Birth of a C10

Man Tim, Looks like things are going well. Congrats on PG&E. Great Job to land there. Hey, I noticed the under dash AC you have. Do you have it working? What kind is it? I've got one that just sits under the dash (not hooked up yet) by Equipaire Model 707. My son is on me to get it hooked up 'cuz it gets so hot on the Peninsula (LOL Not even compared to your neck of the woods!) Good luck on the house as well!
