The bed's looking good! I'd say keep the wheels for the stepper/fleet. Can't wait to see pics of the whole truck all put together!

Quite a transformation with the bed, I LIKE......The rest of the truck is coming along great as well.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Looken good brother

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Thanks man. We are expecting the other bedside any day now and I painted the rear panel on Sat so were almost ready to just bolt it all back together.

Getting really close fellas.. we have the bed to finish up, hang the Magnaflows, install the door panels, arm rests and just an overall cleaning ... and this one is ready for the HRPT.

Teaser shot .. :metal:

We're cutting the bed wood to length and misc bolt holes.. getting close! I ordered some 2" blocks from Boris, don't worry.. :D She's comin on down a little more, and the trac bar still needs to be centered up.

Looks good! Glad to hear you're using the 2" blocks too.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

I also got some 3/8 spacers from Billet Specialties. I think the rear wheels need to come out just a little. This would put me at 5 5/8 BS. I think it will look much better.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Hopefully next weekend.. I ordered all the rest of what I needed for the interior last night and we just need to install the emergency brake cable and some other detailing ( other than the bed, taillights, bumper and tailgate etc.

Its going on the HRPT if I have to take it like it is now.. :).

Wow!
Amazing transformation!!!

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

I've gotten through half the pages and couldn't take the suspense so I jumped to the end to see where it is headed. Simply Amazing!

I'm early in my process, but I am itching to get started. Thanks for all the updates. You've created a masterpiece and I hope you actually drive it around... the world deserves to enjoy it too.

Now, back to page 20 where I left off.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Thanks for all the compliments fellas :). I'm expecting 5 shipments in the next couple days so it's all day Sat and well see what happens. If we have another day like last Sat we will be driving it to the muffler shop. :metal:

Interesting that you replaced the header with cinder blocks. Not seen that done before. :smoke:

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

:lol: that's the tailgate actually.. custom painted to look like concrete blocks.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Nice detail... Your airbrush artist even put the underside of a creeper, leaned against the blocks in that custom painted tailgate. That takes some thoughtful planning and skill to pull off. :haha:

5 shipments? This is likely the only time I'll ever say this again, but I can't wait for Monday... I want to see more updates!

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Goodness. The bed looks awesome.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Bed looks fantastic! What a difference!

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

If you dont mind me asking, where did you find this truck. Im in the market for buying a C10 here in TN and the best thing for me seems to be CL, thank you

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Ive been trolling CL for months now. Im just looking for a 69-72 SWB. drive train doesnt matter because its going to be swapped out later. Little to no rust. paint dont matter. im not looking to spend more than 5500 as well. I also just wanted to say thank you as well.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Fleet or step? Sometimes (for me) its the hunt for the right truck that's the fun part :D. Happy to help you man. Welcome to the board by the way!

Bed looks awesome... just something about a black and white truck that does it for me... super nice work!!!

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

I'm in Nashville and I have a 71 GMC fleet side that currently is a long bed but I will be converting it to a short bed soon, it will be in your price range. PM me if you are interested, I don't want to high jack Chad's build tread.
