Who needs porn when this stuff is on the internet? Sick... just sick I tell ya! LOVE IT!

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

Now it just screams for Sonoco Blue. Them wheels are sexy!

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

Mike, what is the color you have settled on? I have seen a few really cool blues here lately, just curious what you are using.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

They are 19x12 Forgeline RB3Cs with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 345/30R19 fitment. I forget the exact offset right now but we've done a fair amount of modifications to the front fenders to get the wide stance.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

I think we are going to go with BMW Laguna Seca Blue. Its a pretty wild looking color on the 2001-2006 (E46) M3s...some call it smurf blue. My hopes are it looks period correct and modern at the same time ;)

We still haven't settled on a white to go with it yet. The original white on the squarebodys seems to be a warm white which may not go well with this blue.

Some more photos...

You can see some of the fender mods needed in this photo

I must say that you are building a killer truck. Keep it up and thanks for sharing all the awesome pictures with us.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

I feel sooooo dirty right now.... Pure porn. Plain & simple.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

Daaaaaaaamnnnnn. That's bad ass.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

Check out the white diamond on the new Kia Optima. It sounds lame, but the pearl in it is pretty fine and it is a cool color. If you are looking, check out the blue on the new Hyundai Veloster. It is a clean looking bright blue. We recently fixed a 2013 Challenger that had a nice bright blue as well.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

I will definitely check all these colors out. Other blues that have been under consideration are Indian Turquoise (off '59 trucks), grabber blue off the new mustang, and a few different special order blues from newer Porsches. I'm trying to avoid any metallic colors.

It looks so good in primer black with those gold wheels that I also have thoughts about going pure black (like n2trux). It might look a little bit Smokey and the Bandit, not that that's a bad thing :D

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

It would certainly go with the cannonball theme. Ford Fusion YZ is a good bright white.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

I like black with the wheels too. Hard to go wrong with that.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

I'm not feeling the two tone but its your truck and I'm lovin the concept.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

Black & white 2-tone? Classic scheme. Classic colors. Black.
Classic looks w/updated structure will still be classic 20yrs from now....

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

If we go black it will be ALL black. If we go blue then it will be two tone with just white along the center; I believe GM called this the "Special Two Tone".

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

Whatever color you choose for this truck it is going to be AMAZING!

Love that wide tire in front!

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

Wow man it looks great! Can't wait to see more

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

Now I want to build a Bandit Trans Am inspired square. Great! Thanks for putting that into my head! Might look kinda cool in black with gold pinstripes and gold wheels, maybe the 17x9 snowflakes that Year One has. Hummmm :metal:

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

I was on board until the Snowflakes...

77esq.... All black w/the gold stripe trim & those Forgelines would rock.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

NICE TRUCK!.... I wanna know more bout that frame and suspension!!

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

Looks like you could take that whole concave part of the fender and cut it out, flip it, and weld it back in, to give it the look and the clearance that the glove box lid seems to be giving it.

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

Its a Roadster Shop custom chassis. They have been great guys to work with and understood my vision right from the start. I based this build heavily off of their orange and white '70 shop truck (http://roadstershop.com/galleries/1970-c-10-pick-up/). They found a local '74 square and brought it in for measurements, then their engineer set it up for the LS3/TR6060 combo and my desired ride height and tire combos. They also switched up the rear crossmember with a hidden hitch and supplied us with a trick battery box.

There is tons of info on their website: http://roadstershop.com/chassis/1967-72-c-10/

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

One of the guys at the shop is dying to flare the fenders. Perhaps classic 80's german sedan box flares...

Re: Project Cannonball C10
 

I was thinking the same thing. Kinda M3 style. Hmmmm. Too late now, 'cause then you'd have to push the wheels out to fill them out, and you all have done a beautiful job getting them sucked in. It'd be cool, though!
