Thanks brotha! I plan on buying one of those 50's style air planes to go on the center of the hood...kinda like the one 63 C-10 has on his truck. I think the match would look good. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Perfect match!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Looks great but ouch! Two fiddy for that hurts.

Re: Project two tone.
 

TJ....you can probably find an original 60-61 bird for pretty close to that. Won't be as nice of condition, but it'd be more correct. Just a suggestion.....

Re: Project two tone.
 

Yeah..the price of that airplane is crazy...the mini fins I got for free from a forum member.
Thanks..I'm keeping my eyes peeled for one. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

TJ--that must be all first class seats in that bird lol!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Haven't gotten my hood bird yet. :waah: But I have been doing some stuff with the truck....I had it loaded to the hilt with dirt..LITERALLY..the dirt was almost up to the cab...quite a load for the lil C-10..but its a chevy..it'll handle it. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Update! Hood bird arrived in da mail!!! :metal: Pictures after the install! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Right on, sounds good. Looking forward to pics....beware, it'll take some getting used to. Took me a few weeks to get used to it being there after driving these trucks for 20 years with out one.

Re: Project two tone.
 

HoodBird!!!:metal::metal::metal:

That's a little load...:haha:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Yeah..it took some getting used to having the fins on there..but..I like the looks. :metal:
Good one brotha! LOL! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

a little load lol

Re: Project two tone.
 

I will say...never upset a chevy truck...or this will happen...hurt so much even having my toe ran over wouldn't ease the pain.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Did the bird get ya...or did the truck? Ouch.....

Re: Project two tone.
 

Haven't installed the bird yet unfortunately...been digging a water line for the potato field today....but it happened yesterday when I was pulling my in cab fuel tank out to replace the filler neck hose...when I went to push the tank back in...mind you it has at least 13 gallons of fuel(kinda heavy) the tank got stuck and my hand slid along the edge of the tank...cut about a 1/2 inch deep...but...bandage is off now and where doing good. :chevy:
