Re: Trucks with Elephant Ears Mirrors
 

Under that ugly tasteless exterior is one damn healthy Mustang eating stroker engine and it does quite well on the highway. I realize that the ground effects are not everyones cup of tea, but at the time that I put them on, it was mine. The next project is going to be different. However, it is also a little different and some will dislike the 3" chop to the 68 C-10 truck. So as you can see, I have my thoughts and you have yours.


Drool if you must, just do it with pride.

no man i dont mean to step on anyones toes. its a awsome truck just the side skirts are me. i seen before you said thats a 10 year old paint job. thats crazy. but you got a build thread?

Re: Trucks with Elephant Ears Mirrors
 

Back when I put this together (that would be in the mid nineties timeslot) I did not take many pictures. The computer cameras were not very plentiful, then. I did the body work and my paint buddy did the rest of the painting, I did the finish work on the paint---many hours of wet sanding and buffing. I and another guy built the engine (More than once---because I put a rod through the block of one engine) We built the tranny to take what the engine puts out and the 12 bolt posi rear end has been there since I bought it.

One thing I have to point out. The reason the paint is still in good shape---the ground effects keeps the road crap off of the finish. I drove the truck on several cross-country trips in ndifferent years and it stands up every time.

Some close ups.......I doubt they could be bent without a kink or snap......or heated marks......

Re: Trucks with Elephant Ears Mirrors
 

I am switching to the "elephant ears" and getting rid of the camper style. These are huge compared to the elephant ears. I also went with the convex mirror glass for the passenger side! Can't wait to put them on!

Re: Trucks with Elephant Ears Mirrors
 

I have the switch that came with the Conversion van, I have'nt hook'd em up yet cause I want'd to put the switch in the console but did'nt have the it built at that time, if I keep the miirors I'll mount the switch in the side of the console.

Re: Trucks with Elephant Ears Mirrors
 

thank's, when I do paint it , more than likely it will be solid red (mabey black on the bottom, mabey) . although paint is at the bottom of a very long list consisting of 3 truck's and 3 car's. they might not even make red paint by the time I get ready for it !

Re: Trucks with Elephant Ears Mirrors
 

look the same to me... got any closer pics
power mirrors cool it looks like a black edge around the outside?

Re: Trucks with Elephant Ears Mirrors
