Would love to hear how many hours are into this and $$$...most guys here would be AMAZED!

I remember seeing this build three years ago on another forum and much of the metal work was completed then...curious how far before this the build started?

i dont see you are going to load sheets of plywood in the back without a tailgate.

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build

Great looking truck, I love all the mods. I can't wait to see it done.

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build

Incredible!!! What the specs on the wheels, looks like Billet Specialties Hiboy but what are the sizes and backspacing.

I want to know what you used for the bumpers? I also want to know what you used for the radio access plate? Is it electric controlled or is it spring loaded to raise up when released?

Working on a 68 that has had some smoothing work done on it, but nowhere close to this level of work.

Excellent job!

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build
