Ive had this truck for a few years now, it was my daily until i started fixing things that werent broke and then i totally lost interest for almost 2 years. Wanted a street and strip but now i think i know what direction im headed for.

I started my "re" build around january and im right smack in the middle of it. Its a 77 swb with a 383 stroker aluminum heads, muth a thumper cam, hooker shortys, 3" exhaust blah blah blah, some porterbuilt goodies, and sitting on 22/24 centerline smoothies with a healthy set of tires.

Ill start with where i am with the truck right now and then ill post some old pics of the build later.

Im sorry but i dont think your gonna get us off that first look. sexy truck!

Great job so far, love the wheels. Plan on possibly using those on my crew project as well. Very good looking setup.

Dude hubcaps are from a Chevette. I know we had two when I was kid. Funny now maybe they'll go faster than 80mph.....great truck!

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets

thanks guys, ya i was told before they are from a chevette, never seen them on a smoothie so i jumped all on them. they are pretty thin compared to what others are using.

UPDATE: i was supposed to get the truck out the shop yesterday but we had an issue with the mini spool. but now the carbs adjusted, fuel press regulated, new steering gear box installed, gauges all work and light up, switch panel works with push start, pinion angle on rear end is set, trucks timing has been set and a couple other small oddds and ends.

still need to get a front alignment, balance tires, new wind sheild, inspection, seat belt bracket, wire up the horn, fix pass signal lights, and wire up the air ride before next weekends turkey drag. talk about a sema crunch

still working out some of the bugs, need to raise the upper a arms and maybe z it here soon. but other than that ive seemed to have fixed all the oil leaks by having the cork gaskets all replaced with rubber gaskets. floor shifter works like a dream, trans still shifts super smooth

You do any square bodies in the paint? and how big? I could use a few prints like that for my rec room.

Shoot me an email on all the details if you don't mind.
