Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Sweet! What color are you painting it? Who is doing the work for you?

Re: Project Platinum C10

Re: Project Platinum C10

When you said flappy wheel on drill, what exactly did you mean? For removing brushed look on trim.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Flapper wheel.

Thanks, got one side done. Lol. Hey, how long did it take to get your badges back after you ordered them?

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Progress is looking good! Once I placed the order from Billet Badges it took approx. 10 weeks to get them back. I actually ordered another one for my dash that should be here in about 5-6 weeks.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks. Dang thats a long time. Looks like ill be driving without them for a few months.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Here in the next few weeks they should send you a rendering of what they will look like. Once they do post up a pic so I can see them.

Hey, ended up finding a really nice set of stock silverado 20 badges for mine, bought em both $55. Cant swing the cost or wait of the billet right now.

Who did your bedliner and how much?

Check out the thread i started on my truck, not really a build but just showing the progress thru the paint process. Link up there lol^^^^

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I'll check it out.

I had the paint shop spray the bedliner in after they painted the truck. I think it was $400 extra.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Tintworks in Beaumont does a good job on bedliners. Tell him Tim sent you

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I called tintworks today and will be getting a spray in from him in the next 2 weeks. $400.

Hey claytona08, there is a car show at classic chevrolet in bmt may 17th, i signed up and hope to have my truck back and reassembled and the bedliner in it by then. You should bring yours too, show them people what squares are supposed to look like. Ive never even been to a car show much less had anything really special to show. Up until now all my stuff was just lowered newer trucks that everyone and their mom could build

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I'll try and make it out there with my truck. Hopefully you'll have yours together by then. Your paint guy seems to be moving along pretty quick.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

:lol::lol::lol:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Truck turned out awesome Claytona! been following the build and she's a beauty :metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks Malo, Your truck turned out nice also. I haven't posted here in a while because I hadn't done much. Mainly just driving it and enjoying it for now.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Very cool photos!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks Scott

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Hey can post a picture of your seat hinge where the seat folds over at. Im wonder if it should have two bolts or one on each side and also how the hinge cover goes on. Truck turned out great too!!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I'll take a pic and post it this evening. Thanks for the compliment. I still have some work to do but it's getting there.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Jmag86, sorry I forgot to post a poc of the seat hinge. Hope you figured it out. No thanks to me!!!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Couple pics. Got a new badge for my dash. Small detail but I think it came out great.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Just read the entire build. Very thoughtful build that turned out amazingly! Killer truck. Love the subtle, personal touches.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Hey guys, hadn't posted here in a long time.

My inline 6 finally decided to crap out on me so I took a 350 that I purchased from SeTx67 here on the forum and dropped it in. I hadn't got a chance to finish it up as I got real busy at work and hadn't had the time to button it up. Hoping to have it done here in a few weeks if I could get a day off!! When I purchased the engine I bought the 700R4 transmission also but decided to stick with the manual 4 speed that is original with the truck. I like driving the 4 speed. Not planning nothing special under the hood except what you see for now. Just gonna do some dual exhaust out the back and drive the heck out of it. I have another project that I am ready to start on so I can't dump to much more money into this one.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I'm not sure which I'm diggin more - the V8 swap or Lumberton Funeral Home's sale on a traditional service complete w/20 gauge non-gasketed steel casket.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Bwahaha :lol: Man that is a hilarious post! I had to spray a little paint and needed that news paper!!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Comics on the cowl :lol:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Man, that's a good deal!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I needed the comics to keep me entertained when I needed a break!!:lol:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Short video of the engine running. Still need to add exhaust so this is straight headers with about a foot of pipe and no mufflers. Planning turn downs by the axles.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I last posted here. The 350 I swapped over a while back decided to tank out so now I've decided to go with a 5.3L LS swap. I was able to find a wrecked 2007 Silverado and was able to get the engine, transmission, harness, computer, etc.. for my swap. I won't be doing the work myself so I'm getting a buddy of mine to do it for me. He does great work though so I'm excited to see the end product.

The plan: Shave the firewall, paint the firewall, paint the frame rails, install the LS engine, install vintage air and fix the wobbly steering column. I'll update some pics as it goes along.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Donor vehicle and parts, I've decided to keep the engine stock except the addition of headers. I have a special touch that I plan to add using that valve cover though so stay tuned.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

The front end has been removed and the engine is out. The frame rails are being cleaned and getting ready for paint. Tejas Steelworks engine mounts are here as well.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Nice truck getting much nicer. I see its at Al Harveys Hack Shack getting the firewall shaved.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

That's correct Ken, he will be doing all the work on it for me (Firewall, frame, vintage air and LS swap). Here's a couple of pics for an update. Shaving the firewall and welded in the studs for the vintage air so you won't see the bolt heads on the firewall!!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

And now we see that valve cover! That looks nice!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Looking very good!
