The re-pop fenders kinda suck ???? the originals were real ruff and rusty. We have a process with powdercoat to simulate the patina. Stay Tuned ;)

Can't wait to see the PC process for simulating patina. Are you going to have a step by step process, or is it top secret? :D

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

we will show the process stay tuned ;)

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Do you mind me asking....where did you get your fenders? They look like they fit pretty well :)

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

nice work duudes!!!

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Man I can't wait to see those wheels stuffed under there.

77, I purchased the fenders on E-Bay the fenders fit fairly well but they do not fit the grille / header panel at all. We may have to cut these up and us the front half of the stock GM fenders.:mad:

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Cutting the fenders in half and using the Gennie fronts will be cool! Matching the powder to patina will be a great trick. You can't let that secret totally out. The Technology challenged shops that bad mouth you and try to copy you may get a clue!!!
Just sayin... :haha:

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Great Build Guys!!!!!! Also waiting for the new-old patina.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

That's what I was afraid of....my fenders aren't too bad, but the main rust on them is on the fronts of them :(

I used the stock 6 hole axle and had a machine shop drill the 5X5 bolt pattern($75.00) turn the stem of the axle down so a 71 brake drum would fit it. Went to NAPA and bought a set of repair bearings for the outer axle bearing cost $40.00 . drilled out the back of the stock backing plate to allow brake adjustment from the backing plate instead of the drum and was ready to go the old school way. :gmc2:

cost 75.00 machine work, 40.00 repair bearings , 25.00 studs, 80.00 brake drums total $220.00

Kieth, I also had a local tool and die shop turn them down and re drill $100.00 Paul Teig Machine

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Am I correct in assuming that you didn't modify the bumper it self, just shortened the front part of the frame?
