Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

well, the pic hide the dent well. i see the chipping chrome. I had a '76 the same color. I painted it lime green. it was my first attempt at bodywork, so my dad recommended a very light color to hide the blemishes. I wish I had a digital camera back then, or I'd post pics

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Haha yeah, same story here. this is my first attempt at body work too. and you will get to see how "WONDERFUL" it turns out xD
Any tips for body work? even though my father is very skilled at it, he is busy with other things :(

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Ah, I see you've been hit by the green goblin as well.. My truck has EVERYTHING green, from the outside, to the seat, door panels, carpet, plastics, seat belts.. UGH..

Truck is a great start, subscribing... :)

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Haha I know right...insane how green this truck is!
Well that will all change. plan on having custom paint job done by a friend *Yay* and gray interior. xD

And thank you! it would be done a lot faster if it wasn't raining and the 57 didn't take up the garaged....
Also I need a daily drive besides relying on this.

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Haha yeah I feel your green pain. Any ideas for the custom paint yet?

Yet again I feel your pain, it's been raining here a LOT, and the caddy is in the garage. My poor truck is in the driveway with a goofy camper shell on it and a tarp hahaha. I do have 3 daily drivers tho.. so at least I don't have to worry about that part of it.

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Well I know I want like a pearl white with another color, two tone style, but I am still looking through colors.

Ahh lol well the camper protects your chassis right?
Ah well I really wanted to get a 90's burb 4x4 and lift it for my daily driver. xD

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Good luck.. It's a long annoying process. I STILL haven't found my exact pink I want.. It's either too purple, or not HOT pink enough. UGH. I just don't want something Kandy.. cause they fade in the sun, and my truck is gonna be seeing a lot of pavement and sun..

Haha.. actually it does.. but there is already a TON of surface rust on my backhalf.. FML.. oh well.. it'll come off easy..
Burb's are sweet.. I needed something lifted so I finally bought a lifted truck.. I'm likin it so far.

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Oh I know... my dads 57 is going to be Candy Blue, and took him a long time to get the color all planned out.

Ah well wire wheel will get it all off xD
Yeah I do have the 2006 F-350....but it is so problematic that its not worth it, so its for sell for 30,000

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Haha yeah..

Wire wheel will def do the truck :)
..Key word: FORD, (Here's your sign) lol.. Good luck selling it :)

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Haha oh I know... it has 19,000 miles on it and was bought brand new of the lot....has been in the shop 10times...at the least. and there is a guy who really wants it and will have the money at the end of the month. has been calling every monday to see if i still have it lol.

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Haha geez.. it must be pretty badass if he keeps calling.. lifted at all or anything??

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Nah its just super clean and well taken care of, also has very very low miles.
And for where I live in is different then all the rest. taken almost all the emblems off and this is the only one that has painted bumpers and two tone.
"For where I live at least"

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Sweet.. yeah that's pretty clean for a Ford ;) I like it

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Yup, sad thing is... "its a Ford"
So I have plans on purchasing a 90s burb and dropping a Duramax engine in it with a 6in lift xD maybe more. "That would become my daily driver" I just need a job though.

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

LOL!.. yeah a Job would be key in that process. ;):lol:

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

I have been looking all over. So pathetic really.
I had to drop my other one cause of school and they couldn't do part time.
So now I need to find one that can do part time....

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Hey I have a question, for those of you who wanna pitch in their thoughts about this, Do you think a patina paint job style would look neat on this square body truck?

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

hey man beatiful truck... im trying to get mine done asap haha its beautiful man keep going

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

It all depends on what you're doing to it. Personally patina paint job's aren't my thing, although when done right can look badass on the right ride. I prefer them on a little older car/truck than a 76. I'd like to see it painted but that's just my opinion, do what makes you happy.

My 2 cents..

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Looking good man im digging the original green man it is killer lol

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

I was thinking on those lines too. I mean you really don't see pantina on square bodys. so it would be different. but still. lol'


Thanks WillieloRidez and Jhogan830 =)

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Nice start are you going to tub it

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Yeah I want to but a ford 9in in the back and a little lower in the front, probably 19x14 in the back.
"Dads 57 chevy is 15x18 rear tires lol"

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Yea your truck model looks great tubbed and low i"m tubbing the blazer this summer and adding 4 link susp and tube a-arms

Re: '76 Chevy C-10 Build
 

Yeah I think so too, oh that will look good on your model too, I have seen some pretty sweet blazers at the drags. I just need a good steady job to be able to afford major work to my truck, but this economy has kept me from doing that.
