Great pics and congratulations!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

WOW! Good looking truck.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks fellas! :chevy:

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:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

...a darker gray/charcoal color to really make the blue pop?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

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?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks! I dunno, though. Thinking of doing something a little different..
Thanks a lot! I agree- the bed was one of the first things to go...
Hm, maybe something like that. I'm thinking a flat or 'matte' finish, deep dish, and pancaked center caps, ala trans am racers of the '70s...
Agreed. Gotta price check TT2s vs Coy's. I think they're actually pretty close these days. Looking at 18s or 20s. Problem with 18s is finding tires, plus the 20s just look 'right'...
Thanks- think I'll be leaning somewhere close to this direction. Time (and money) will tell...
Thanks! Don't know about CTC, but we will be headed out to GG Lonestar in a few weeks- gotta fix a small tranny leak first...

Want your Coys back???

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks a lot! Quite the compliment :D
Doh! Always one step ahead of me... Yes, exactly like that :smoke:
Uuuuuum... maybe :mm: PM en route.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

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?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

http://www.lobucrod.com/

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
 

Welcome! :) I bought two 40 footers- coulda gotten by with 1 if I hadn't done the back wall. I liked the tape, but could just as easily have used something else. I bought the big roll and have a TON left over- 3 or 4 small rolls would have been plenty. It will come in handy at some point, I'm sure...

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
 

Yes, and have plenty of both left over. If I had it to do again, I'd prolly buy less tape, but it was nice not having to worry about running out. I can't really comment on the sound deadening properties, as I used peel 'n' seal first, but the heat blocking is awesome.

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
 

Haha- yeah, I'm really having trouble with the wheel selection... I think you'll be happy with the combination of the two insulators.
They suggest taping the seams. I suppose you could do the edges too- I just ran mine out to the edges of the panels...
