Re: 67c10 build
 

Made a little progress tonight. Two things I hate are aligning panels and bad gaps. Therefore it takes me forever to accept the way it's hung. Also I try to give feedback on good products and with that in mind I'm very happy with the fit of my dynacorn core support. Hey the cab even became a custom tonight. Honestly I just like the emblem...

Re: 67c10 build
 

I like those emblems too. I thought about adding them to my 71. Not sure about it yet since I don't have any other emblems though. Looks good!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Custom emblem looks good, I'm thinking about adding those to mine too. I was thinking about your medium olive/white thought and I think it would look awesome and also very unique cause I don't remember ever seeing it on a slant nose

Re: 67c10 build
 

Thanks guys I really like them. Medium olive was a 69+ color so it's rare to find a 67/8 that someone painted. There's a 69/70 med olive/white that lays out on intros that is beautiful, I'll have to post it up when I get home for reference. Now that I actually have a partial truck assembled I'm getting really excited to get this done. Just pulled 37hrs ot this pay period and hope to save it all for paint.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Your truck looks SO clean and straight. Nice work!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Thanks josh, it'd sure look goo with a set of your mirror heads:metal:

Re: 67c10 build
 

I've missed some updates - friggen SWEET man! Didn't know you were doing moldings either, you dawg!

Just about ANY color will work.

Re: 67c10 build
 

You mean this truck. It is sweet.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Yup that's it. I really like it and not a real common scheme. I was thinking same as that with a white grille and tailgate lettering. We'll see though I change my mind to often

Re: 67c10 build
 

I've thought about maybe going with this color. I see so many variations and horror stories from cross referencing medium olive. I think the Kia color is closs enough to the factory that if I didn't tell anyone then no one would know

Re: 67c10 build
 

Similar lighting for color comparison

Re: 67c10 build
 

We can make that happen! HaHa.

So that green color...does anybody know what color that is exactly. It that really a factory color? I've always had two color options in my head for my truck; gold/white below trim or a green similar to this with the white below the trim.

Re: 67c10 build
 

The green truck should be factory paint code 504 medium olive

Re: 67c10 build
 

WOW, what a nice color. I think its the white that makes it pop.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Maybe it's just me, or my screen, but that Kia looks like it needs a little more green... I bet you're right that most people wouldn't know, especially if it wasn't sitting next to a factory color. It would look good though, as does that truck. Nice inspiration.

Re: 67c10 build
 

probably not the exact green you are going for but same wheels :)

Re: 67c10 build
 

the mock up looks great. i agree, that green will set it off.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Yeah hector something similar to that .

Did a little work tonight, got my c10 emblem on and put the trim back on. Man I can't wAit to drive this thing. I love these trucks more and more each day. The styling team for these trucks were true artist.

Nothing new really in the pic just the emblem but I know how people like pictures around here

Re: 67c10 build
 

This is a bada$$ truck already! great job!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Looking good, I know you were probably excited as I was to put the emblem and trim on. Just makes the truck look that much better.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Man that could be my new background for my phone looking good!!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Hey man I haven't checked in on your thread in forever!!!! I've been meaning to see how you been an what not its been a while since I saw you last how you been?? The truck looks awesome dude!!! Actually coming together an looking really freaking sweet since I last saw it. You still have the same number BTW? I got a new number an what not an just letting friends know so. Needs meet up soon man. I'm still ironing out things with my 65. Having to do a rewire of the under dash an build a separate fuse block cause of accessories an what not.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Right on, yeah same number here. I've been meaning to check in with you and see how the motors going.

Got the hood on last night what a pita. It's no where near perfect but close enough to roll to a body shop. Spent a little bit mocking up trim so I can start drilling holes. The whole time I was worried about push in clips but this whole kit comes with the stud type and nut which will make things a breeze. Anyone consider mar-k I say go for it. These are made in the USA and are flawless.

Re: 67c10 build
 

I am digging this truck alot...

Re: 67c10 build
 

Trim looks awesome Scott, and I agree the Mar-K trim is top notch quality. Truck is looking great.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Imagine somebody asking you "what do you do for a living?" "Well I stamp and produce trim for 67-72 c10's..." Man truck looks good can't wait to see it out of the paint shop!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Seeing more and more of these in different lighting lately I have to agree. I'm thinking of getting a pint of the original 504 color and seeing how I like it

Re: 67c10 build
 

Awesome build, will be one nice truck when you're done!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Got a little sidetracked this week... Put a few bucks in the dmax with her new cab lights. Nothing like taking a step bit to the roof of your new pickup. New or old gm is the only way to go!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Love that dmax :metal:

Re: 67c10 build
 

Thanks Keith it's my second duramax and can't see buying anything but anymore.

Spent the day getting a few odds and ends done. Started putting the front end trim on and got carried away it's complete minus headlights. I know this the hood and fender trim is 68 only but I really like it and plan on going with a white grill. Also got all the driver side trim on. Hope to work on the bed tomorrow, need to square it up and would like to get a working tailgate.

A question for you guys... Typically does a wood bed get sprayed with the tubs installed?

Re: 67c10 build
 

Not sure if I mentioned but I scored front and rear bumpers from out last swap meet. The guy I bought them from has a business out of California and travels to swap meets. There original gm bumpers rechromed. The quality is excellent and very happy with them. The re pop rear I had was really grainy and looked like the back had no chrome so looked like it would be a place for rust.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Gorgeous truck.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Dang bud... awesome build!!!!!!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Thanks guys, just got the internet functioning correctly again so hopefully can get some pics uploaded. Who knew a router that fell over wouldn't get internet connection

Re: 67c10 build
 

Finally was able to get the truck to the exhaust shop. Didn't realize how much I had to do just to get it trailer ready

Re: 67c10 build
 

Doesn't show much here but went with dual 50s and 2 1/2" pipe. I couldn't take not knowing what it sounded like so I hooked up and ignition and fired it up. It sounds perfect to me, very throaty sound and no pop/crackle

Re: 67c10 build
 

Just uploading this to show the difference in the next pick. This is the second time I put this on a trailer. Almost 2 years since I bought it.

Re: 67c10 build
 

The day I bought it August 2nd 2012

Re: 67c10 build
 

She looks great, I can't wait to see her in paint.
