65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

Here is my truck... Believe it or not I have a ton of hours into this thing. 84 front crossmember swap, drop spindles and springs. Jeep TJ rear coils and 2" homemade blocks. Rebuilt the 230 with a tri power and a split header. Replaced all of the rot, I went through 2 rolls of wire in my MIG! Three trips to Carlisle and a few new body panels and its almost ready to roll! Hoping to drive her soon!

Cool looking truck! I especially like the tri-power. Is it yellow?

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

Its green, Ive been calling it 70's refrigerator green...like a pistachio color.

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

I like it! The I6 looks sweet.

Got home today and bolted up the bed and put on the grille I made from a pair of 58 imperial headlights and an old steel grille that was smacked up pretty bad. I wanted the dual headlight grille like on some of the older trucks but I couldnt afford one.[IMG]http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/...auto/grill.jpg[/IMG]

Sweet lookin engine! I like the hotrodded I6's. They're just so cool, and not the normal 350 or LS1.

OOH, That looks awesome!! Did you make that cross-section? Looks killer! I am planning on making a grille for mine someday. I have the 62 grille on a 63 truck right now, and it is ok, but i just want to be able to say "I made that". Haha.

Hey cool looking grill almost like a gmc that's what neat about these trucks you can fix em how you want them. What brand of intake is that by the way? Thanx...Vernski

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

looking good like the grill :metal::chevy:

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

LOVE the idea of the 4 headlight look.

In case you are interested I do have a 60-61 grill with the light bezels and 4 cans i'd sell for $100 and shipping.

It is from a salvage truck and needs just a bit of work to clean it up and use it.

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

im digging the green body and the blue interior

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

Very cool build, I dig where your head's at. That grill came out kool! You gonna paint the grill shroud inner black? IMHO it would really make your grill pop.

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

Sweet truck! Love that tri power 6!

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

Inline 6 + triple carbs = very cool

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

Here is a pic of my GMC when I first got it I think it's almost the same color...Vernski:uhmk:

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

holy crap its almost a perfect match! I mixed mine, duplicolor paint shop sublime green with some black and some white to kill the neon effect. Is that an original color? thats what I was going for.

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

that is an offenhauser triple. Really well made piece, but I gotta make a heat plate for it.

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

The cross section is the top part of the original 65 grille that was on the truck. when i got it the front passenger side was smacked up so i cut it up and made it work. The headlights are 58 Imperial (I believe) I made new housings for them out of some sheetmetal and welded the crossection to them.

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

Im definately gonna do the shroud black, maybe with white on the outline similar to the original color scheme. I think I should paint the grill white, what do you guys think?

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

I could not find this color in any 65 paint book, I think it is a dealer re-paint because under the cab corners it's dark green which is in the paint books. They painted the complete firewall and has what I assume is paint #'s marked on the firewall. I couldn't find any of the #'s in any paint books, so it's a mystery to me what the deal is?...Vernski:uhmk:

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

I put some speed holes in the radiator support brackets tonight. I made the dimple die from an old weight lifting bar and turned it on a lathe. I was pretty psyched.

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

Truck is looking really great man! I dig the one-off grille.

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

This is very slick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 65 C10 Little Blue Snot Rocket
 

how much do you think those speed holes will shave off your 1/4 mile time? they look really awesome, I can't fab anything near that cool!
