Sweet truck, cant believe the craftsmanship! how did you do he front head lights? are they 8" head lights? where did you find the LED trim to go around the head light?

Been following this for a while on another forum. I really love all the custom touches on this one! Curious when this project started?

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build

Thanks for the info on the headlights. Quick question, did you fabricate your inner fenders or did you buy them and fabricate? If so, where did you purchase them? also how did you fabricate the new light custom buckets?

you inspire me! im working on my 72 C10 i just mounted my fenders and doors this week. please take a look and let me know your thoughts

The inner fenders are fabricate in our shop, the complete build was hand made in house (California Rod & Custom) Langley BC

Your trucks looks good keep up the work on it i am glad we have inspired you to work on it

Thanks Harold

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build

thanks for the reply!
so ball park January you will have some in stock? how much are you thinking?
would you be willing to just sell the light tubs and brackets? i have FJ lights already. I'm definitely interested. on the LED lights are they seperet stip or on your set up are they mounted in the lights them self? and can you get them in with bright white?

once again great build!!!

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build

Parts look great, especially that rearend. Just curious, what is the reason for running such a long stud? Is there gonna be wheel spacer on there?

What kind of wax do you use on that piece :lol: sure is shiny

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build

Hard to be that outrageous and still look simple and right. I dig it.

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build

Very clean I like it. I love the color and I love the style but are you planning on using any others color or polish to break up the color. I think you will lose a ton of the details if you don't. If you are building it for the customer and that's what they want then that's what you have to do. But if not I think a lot of this master piece will be missed.

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build

Holly ****!
This is one bad MOFO. Great work. Two questions...

-Where can I get that brake and gas pedal?
and
-Is the frame powder coated or also painted that Lexus pearl grey metallic?
