Williams Plumbing 67 C10
 

Many people have been asking me to put together a build thread so here we go.

My name is Chris Fowler from Puyallup Washington. I started Northwest C10s on Facebook and have multiple C10 projects going on at the same time.

This build in particular is a tribute to my late grandfather that passed away in 2013. His name was George Williams, he was a Air force veteran, a retired union plumber and owned his own company which was originally started by his father Earl Williams.

I purchased this second owner truck out of Shelton Washington in 2010 with the intention of using it as donor parts for a short bed project that I am still working on. Shortly after getting the truck home I quickly realized it was much to nice too nice tear apart and had great patina so I set out to build a shop truck. The first step was to come up with a catchy logo for the doors.

As my grandfathers health began declining and the family began reminiscing over old photos I decided to throw ideas like Rusty Nuts Speed Shop out the window and build tribute truck to my grandfather using his original business logo, Williams Plumbing.

The truck is not entirely finished but here is a picture of me showing it to my grandmother for the first time just months after my grandfathers funeral.

You can also find me on Instagram by searching my user name, blueek9. The name BlueEK9 comes from one of my old projects, a blue EK9 Honda Civic that was featured in multiple magazines.

The truck is a 1967 Chevy C10 Custom with a panoramic rear window. It started life with a 327 and red interior although the previous owner swapped those out for a fresh 350 and black upholstery.

More pictures to come...

I first picked up a set of 6 lug corvette rallies and started gathering parts to lower it.http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...9/d28a3a5c.jpg

Re: Williams Plumbing 67 C10
 

Next step was to install some Porterbuilt shocks relocators, new shocks, 3" front springs with 2.5" drop spindles, 6" rear springs and a Porterbuilt adjustable trac bar in the rear.http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...9/9ee8d3b8.jpg

After lowering it and throwing the rallies on I began painting the shop logos on the doors.

Re: Williams Plumbing 67 C10
 

I like the door logo... Did u make a sticker template then brush it? Looks awesome!

Re: Williams Plumbing 67 C10
 

With a pre-mask template and then brushed it in. I couldn't figure out how to fade it otherwise.

Re: Williams Plumbing 67 C10
 

Looks awesome, it really came out good. I have been dabbling with pinstriping, painting & lettering lately. That's why I was asking... Trying to get ideas.

Re: Williams Plumbing 67 C10
 

I started practicing about the time I decided I wanted to do logos a stripe the hood. I hate paying people to do work for me do I gave it a shot. I'm still very amature but have fun doing it from time to time. I used the pre-mask so I could go back over it with thinner and fade it out. If you get a chance check out my portfolio on www.pinheadlounge.com. Search my name, Chris Fowler. If you haven't tried Kafka brushes yet give them a try. I like them over my Mack brushes.

Re: Williams Plumbing 67 C10
 

I added some billet panels I picked up at a swap meet and dyed the carpet.

Re: Williams Plumbing 67 C10
 

I searched your name with no results..... If you go to my truck build, I did a few things on my truck. I hate paying people to do anything too. I started with Mack brushes then got the kafka and I love it. It's a lot more forgiving with turns n curves. Painting is wicked fun too!
