Talented??? Just got lucky and found a good bodyman who could paint too. The rest of it is just sandblasting, painting, sanding, time, buyin parts and installin them.......maybe not in that order. And a few cold ones along the way to try and forget the money ya just spent. Sounds like you are going to make a quick project happen, just wait till the bug gets you and next thing ya know......show truck with a plow!!!:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

David Any updates? I dont recall you mentioning it, but are you going to be using an original/aftermarket bench or bucket seats?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Squished

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Juanito,

IIRC, he is using 88-91 style low-back bucket seats.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Well......Heath beat me to it. I have a pic in my thread with one of the seats in it. I will also have a Blazer console in it or on it so that I can hide my air bag gauges. Or at least that's the plan for now. No real updates other than my job here is done as of tomorrow, so I will be starting my own lawn and landscaping buisiness. I will be getting my carb today or tomorrow and should be firing the 327 this weekend. When I told the guy I was not going to have any money, it seemed to put a fire under him to get it done!:lol:

Hahahha.....toooo cool!!! Thanks JD, it was nice meetin you and the few games of pool were fun!!!

Dead on! It is the 88-91 low backs! I will still be workin on the truck in my spare time and will throw some updates on here by the end of the weekend!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

glad to hear from you David. wishing you the best in the lanscaping b'ness.....

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks Heath, it is a big step from the ac'ed office to the outside. Everyone that I know that has this kind of business makes alot more than me so I figured go for it!!! Might slow my project for a month or two but in the long run it should be worth it. On a side note, Ronnie and I have been kickin around the idea of another project.......Mopar. Maybe a 70-71 Cuda or somethin cool like this.

Nice progress David...

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Everything looks great!...except the exhaust manifolds. Are they going to be black, silver or something else?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Subscribed! Man, it took me forever to get in here!

Must be a strict dress code or something :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

It's all about the timing!!! Get it? Timing. HEI...painting...never mind. :lol:

Thanks Heath!

Appreciate it bro! I will be getting the ceramic coated headers from ECE but due to the layoff it is setting me back on my schedule........dang corporate buttheads.

Just shorts.........and a tie. :lol: But glad you stopped by to check it out!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Looks simply amazing!! I looked it over some more. It will take me a while to get through the whole thing. :lol:

One of these days I might get you to draw me a patina truck from my old pics when you have some free time! :D

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

truck looks really good David, howver about those wires, I think they ned something, not sure what yet, but there is something. Getting that much closer day by day!!!!! Keep it up!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That's kinda what I was thinking of too. I am going to hide everything the best I can.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Well here is an update of sorts, since the layoff I have purchased a 2001 Chevy and got my trailer ready for work.......also decided on a name for my business. Today was my startup date. I had a couple of jobs today and spent $53 to make $173 and helped my freind on a job that netted $200 for myself, so I can't say that it was a bad day!!! I'll get back on my truck soon!!
