Perfectly ruined, well done!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Ok, I can take a hint :)
Thanks a lot!

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

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!

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!!

Darren

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 ;) ).

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks, man. I think the truck is done for now, excepting knick-knacks. My wife wants a '67 fastback 'stang, but she has a liking for fast and handling, so we may be able to work a deal for some go-fast goodies for the truck soon. I'd like to make it a low budget auto-crosser :D Still looking for progress on the Blazer- I'd love to see that thing finished...
Thanks a lot! I'm a proud man
Haha- sorry, but at least your wife is cool enough to have a truck at your wedding :)
She reads all of the comments you guys are leaving- hope it doesn't go to her head :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

She's out of most of our collective league. Congrats. Love the pics.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks a lot! :chevy:

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
 

QUOTE" I've always had a fondness for the Cragars and sorta wanna be 'different', but would really like a set of grey spoke TT2s. " Agreed! How about Cragar Elimanators with a gray center? Truck is looking sweet.

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:
