Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I think I’ll be in a similar boat. Need to get it mocked up and see what fits, but I’m leaning toward hydro slave

Still piling up parts for this one. Cam should be a decent thumper and add 50-ish hp. Gonna try to squeeze around 400 horse outta this little 5.3 :D

Tossing around ideas on bed treatments. The all black looks good, but I like the contrast of the stainless (unpolished) strips, too. I’ve also thought about doing a weathered look, but if that’s the case, I could just install the old rotten pine... Any thoughts?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Stainless or body color with pictures 3 or 4 look good in my opinion.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Nice stockpile of parts! I like the stainless polished, but I'm kinda old school like that....

I'm doing black with polished stainless and all hidden bolts.

I wish I knew who supplied LMC with the aluminum wood-look product. It would be awesome to have that with a black wood look instead of real wood. I've been thinking of going to a wood bed, but can't really afford the full conversion from a steel floor, yet. I saw the black wood with polished strips on a red truck on instagram two days ago and I really like it. After seeing what you've posted pictures of, I'm liking it even more.

I hadn't seen those tests but Im fairly convinced now as well. Ive always figured on epoxy and clear, but those results make it hard to go that route. |
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I guess I'll be the odd-ball. I really like it all black. In the second pic, that blue isn't that far off from yours and it just looks good to me all black.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Any benefit to using plastic composite deck boards? Think if you could find a color or finish you like it will hold up for a long time.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I actually contemplated doing that, but it doesn’t fit the look I’m after. Add to that my lack of woodworking tools available and pre-cut Mar-K oak is the ticket

More parts piling up in the house. I don’t have Dakota Digital money (and I really don’t like the clock in the center), but I couldn’t pass up on a Labor Day weekend deal on these New Vintage 69 style gauges. Should save me some time and heartache trying to adapt everything to the LS. I dig the way they look modern, yet not out of place.
They still need some minor tweaking to get them seated correctly, but I couldn’t resist mocking them up for a look-see. The through the dial lighting and illuminated pointers seal it for me :chevy: |

Stock photo of the center hole, transfer case light doesn’t do me much good, but I can find some use for the others, for sure.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I love the New vintage gauges, great choice!
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Love the gauges. Those look perfect.
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Those are so cool!!!
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Looks Good!
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Nice gauge cluster Chris. I have to admit their new line of classic look gauges are growing on me.

Since I now know all of the big parts fit, it’s time to start making things pretty. 3 steps forward, 2 steps back is still progress, right?
