Project: Shiro
 

This is chapter two in my C10 saga, a low mile (41,730) Arizona truck by way of SoCal. As we begin, the truck is intended to be my 14 y/o son's first ride and I think we have a very nice start. I must say thank you to board member jasonvw for all the hard work he has put into the truck to-date and for passing it on to us, THANKS BRO!! The truck is now on a transport making the 2,000 mile trip from California to Florida, and we can't wait to see it in person! We have chosen the project name Shiro, which is the Japanese word for the color white. I thought about using Shiroi Torakku, meaning white truck, but it is a little too much so we'll just go with Shiro. Here are a few pics jasonvw had in his Gumby build thread as well as one he sent me showing it on the truck.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Beautiful interior too

Re: Project: Shiro
 

loved your last. Very excited to see more of this new one.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

WOW. Great score. I loved your last build and this looks even better. When it lands you have got to school us on the stance. Excuse me for freaking out but I have a 15" wheel fetish. lol.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I'm in

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Very clean.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Nice
can't wait to see what your going todo to it

Re: Project: Shiro
 

The only thing I can think to do with this truck is drive the wheels off it

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Do you have a plan in mind for this one?

Re: Project: Shiro
 

It could not have gone to a better place. Can't wait to see what you do with it Buck. I already miss it....

Re: Project: Shiro
 

At first we'll just detail the engine and engine compartment and drive it, then maybe some A/C before the summer.

Thanks again Jason, we'll take great care of it!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Can't wait to see what happens next! Glad to see it's not going under the radar!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

If you ever decide to sell this one in the future,... make sure you contact me.
I like it just the way it is.
Even the 4-speed!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

At this point it isn't going to be a major project, but a lot of folks wanted to keep an eye on it so I figured a build thread was in order.;)

Sure thing Keith, going to have to see what the boy thinks of it when it gets here. I kind of took a chance because it was just too nice to pass up. So, far he likes what he sees in the pics.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

in.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Cool truck!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Looking forward to this build!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Following along

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I really like the looks of this truck! Very much reminds me of a truck I put together and sold. Currently belongs to a friend of mine (and board member). Another truck I should have held on to!!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I'm in! Saw this truck on Instagram and eBay and really liked the looks of it. Glad it sold to a board member. Looking forward to the build! Seems to be a REALLY solid truck.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Yes sir ! I'm in too. My hats off to you Buck for the props to the previous owner, very cool of you my brotha! Sick truck just like it is, I cant wait to see what you do to it.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Very nice!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Just found this. I'm in!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

this outta be cool. :metal:

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Thanks bro

Never look back, only forward!

I'm excited to give it a once over when it gets here as see just how solid it is.

Giving credit where credit is due. He did a lot of work, a lot of tough elbow grease type work and he deserves the recognition.

I don't know if it is as cool as the '61 you pass on to lowlife99, but we'll have some fun with it!!;)

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I have been doing some poking around the internet looking at what can be done with a I6. Engineered Components Inc makes a cool A/C and alternator bracket setup, which I think is very probable if we install a Vintage Air set up. I have also been looking at transmission options. While my intent is to drive the truck a while to see how I and my son like the 4 speed, I figure I should checkout the options that are out there. I am curious about a 200-4r install behind an I6 in an effort to be able drive farther/faster. We'll see what materializes after we have had a chance to check it out!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

That, looks a pretty coo setup.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

I love this truck! I'm glad you bought it buck! Btw I have a brand new old air ac kit for an I6 truck I'll make you a good deal on!

Re: Project: Shiro
 

Great lookin truck, best of luck with it. Like everyone else, I`m here along for the ride.

Re: Project: Shiro
 

In. Really liked what you did to the last one, so interested how this one turns out. Very nice platform to start with.
