The best.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Hmmm I'm interested to see what you've got planned this time around. What ever it is, I'm confident it will be bad a$$!:metal:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I need that Crew up here working on mine!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

That's a good crew to have!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Hey! Do you still have the bucks for the inner fenders? I have to do this to my fenders here shortly. Id be happy with a piece of paper and maybe just trace that line on it. Ill pay shipping if you can help me out! Awesome Build!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Have a good safe trip! I hope all goes well. Looks like the truck is in good company, even the boat matches.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Shes getting some final details from the LCTC crew. They are taking the time that I didn’t have to make it right and continue to shake down and work out the bugs. Then they get to cruise it until I get back :chevy:
Definitely. Ready to see some progress on the GMC
Only ones I’d trust
Keith (darkhorse970) has them. smbrouss70 and Scoti are also in line to use them, but I’m sure you could convince one of them to trace a pattern and drop it in the mail. Try sending a PM to Keith.
Everything is blue in that shop!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

PM Sent to Keith! Thanks and keep building this awesome truck!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

All of the trucks are a 1970 model year, also!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I went and added another Blue one to the stable. I think I have a problem...

Work on Gringo's truck will resume next weekend.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Sweet addition! Definitely in my top 3 favorite cars of all time.:metal:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

The boys from LCTC finishing what I started. Should see some color soon!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Working sucks, wish I was there helping!!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Looking good!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Them Louisiana boys are good sh!t. :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I know your truck, seen it here before and on instagram, but this is the first time I've gone through your entire build thread. In short, wow! Awesome truck, and awesome incremental progress with details along the way to get it there. This is a top notch build thread and build.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Chris I made a round trip to check it out today but I did have to work on the GTO as well. Man you realize the last time I saw your truck was before you went out west at the RR streetrods show in Bossier, a really long time ago. I've seen you but not the truck since then. Wow it's come a long way. It's in good hands now. Wish you were here today.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

They do great work!
The best!
Hey, thanks a LOT for the positive comments. Thanks for taking the time to take the journey.
It has come a long way since then. Feeling like I might actually be finally close to being “done” with it, though I always have ideas and plans in mind. Wish I was there hanging out, too. I need to get a glimpse of Castro in the flesh.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

More updates. Can’t thank the guys enough for putting their own projects on hold to fix my junk. The blue is looking good, can’t wait to see some cured pics :chevy:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

…and dried to a nice, matte finish:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

On hold? :uhmk:

We worked on the GTO & Ratchet's Blazer, all while waiting for various coats of primer or paint to dry. Can't leave out my wonderful wife Brandi either, she kept us fed (very well!) and supplied with beer so that we could keep going without stopping. We were multi-tasking like I've never seen before! I just haven't had time to post up pictures.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Awesome group of people.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Hot damn! This engine bay is looking gooooood :metal:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I guess. If you're into that sort of thing.

Legendary!!

Magnificent!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Satin goodness at its finest.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Love that satin..... nice job...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Very nice.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

That looks amazing Chris....all kinds of envy going on over here...thanks man...:lol: :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

It's gonna be too nice to drive, Chris.
I especially love the way you made the LS look retro. The air cleaner is the cherry on top.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I agree 100%

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Yeah the engine bay is looking real good, great job for sure, but that defrost vent is killing me gringo..... ;)

Curious, do you have a clamp for your e-brake cable so it doesn't mar up your pretty new inner fender?

Seriously guys, great job, that HRF never looked so good. :metal:


:chevy:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Good thing I am! :lol:
Maybe, but she will be driven!
Thanks, all. Super stoked on how it’s turning out :metal:
Killing me, too, haha. The under dash is still going back together. I have full faith and confidence that it will be back in place in short order. There will be a clamp on the e-brake cable, too. Thankfully the guys working on the truck are as picky (or more) as you and I :chevy:

The blue is HRF; the black on the inners is this stuff, recommended by n2billet. I’m told it layed out a bit splotchy when wet, but dried to this beautiful, factory appearing finish

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

All back together, just needs the A/C charged, a couple of wires connected, and to change out an O2 sensor that crapped out. Oh yeah, she needs a bath too, but it'll probably be driving in the rain leaving my house, so I'll clean it up once we get there. So who's coming out to Lebanon, TN this weekend for the Southeastern Truck Nationals to see Gringo's famous truck for it's first big show appearance?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

What a beautiful truck buddy

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Bath!? Has it been a year already :lol: Wish I could be there
Thanks a bunch. It’s finally coming together. Still needs wheels, maybe some day…




Complete truck again and lookin’ good :chevy:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Awesome 👌 Now if only you could drive it :waah:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I know you've had them for a while but.... They still work very well on this truck.

Getting different (new) wheels would likely mean you'll have similar wheels as many similar trucks & be spending similar money. I get the desire for something new/diff to you. But... from another's perspective, what you've got on there still works very well visually.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

If you buy polished wheels while you are overseas, they will still be in the box when you get back! These wheels are perfect. No polishing required.
