For sprint_9
Here’s the measurement from my filler neck. Also included a pic of the hole I cut centered over the neck in my floor, the tape approximates where the metal strips would lay on a wood floor |
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Pretty close to the same as what I have. I figured it was about an inch offset if running a wood floor. Thanks for the info.

So, this happened today:
I kept staring at the back of the cab, wondering what to do about the driveshaft. I finally just said screw it and started cutting. Everything clears well, just needs a cover, which I have on order, but will have to see if I have time to install it before we go... |

This is the piece I supposedly have on the way, though I haven’t seen tracking yet, hmmm... It’s more than is needed and will require heavy “customization” |

It all just looks so... Right!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
There's a lot of "big time" truck builders on the internet, that could learn a few things from you, about getting the bed of a truck, in line with the cab and front fenders.
It doesn't require a lazer,... string will do the same thing. Its one of my biggest pet peeves. Your truck looks great! |

Keith, agreed wholeheartedly. I hate to see an otherwise good-looking truck that appears to be folded in the middle like a worn-out mule. Another pet-peeve, and Steven can attest to this having walked around shows with me: hood to cowl alignment :devil: ...$20k paint job and $10k wheels and your hood is sticking up 3/8” above the cowl. C’mon! All that said, my gaps aren’t perfect, but she’s got character :lol: After hanging the passenger bedside, final trim and shim of the bed mounts, and mounting the tailgate and bumper, she’s a (mostly) complete truck again :metal: |

The new seat cover has settled in nicely after sitting in the sun for a bit today. Little bit of that old upholstery pattern, modern foam shaping look to tie the theme together :smoke:
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
That seat looks nice!
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Is that new foam too or just a cover?

Seat came out great!
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Everything is sure coming together nicely, Chris! The seat looks fantastic.
Wish you were able to come with us on Power Tour again this year. |

To bad about the panels , it looked like a great idea.
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
that seat is spot on!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
You might have already mentioned it but what did your fuel door assembly come out of? Is it a kit or a junkyard piece

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Mui bueno vato. Perfectly new yet worn in, high tech yet vintage at the same time. Love the results!
I hope to see your truck in person someday. Brian |
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I bet it felt good to drive it again! Congrats!
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Simply awesome! How does it drive? It must feel very satisfying looking back at all you have done to this truck and then take it for a drive and be rewarded with every sensory feedback available to human kind and know you did this! I know you aren’t done, but Congratulations Chris!

Chris it looks absolutely awesome I can't wait to see it once you get back to LA. I am going to make HRPT this year, had to work last year sorry to see you won't make it this year.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
DAMN!!!! Exceptional job, Chris!!! I really liked the look of the truck pre-Porterbuilt, but this knocked it out of the ballpark's parking lot!
