Last 2 Months Progress - Wheels, plates, seat, etc...
 

My C10 brothers from different mothers! I've made what I feel is some decent progress over the last few months so I figured I'd take some pictures today and share with you all. This is my first real post about myself or the truck really, so hello everyone, glad to be a part of such a helpful site! A little backstory on myself - I had a 70 CST when I was in highschool and foolishly sold it after a year or so. The PO did a janky job putting the truck together so it was constantly breaking down. I stupidly took my dads advice and sold it to buy something reliable. I always regretted selling it and told myself I'd get another one day, and well, that day came last July when I bought a 72 GMC 1500 LWB with a decent little 350/350 combo and a 3/5 or so drop. Its not perfect, will need some body, paint and otherwise, but I'm happy with what I started with. At first I just fixed a bunch of little dumb things the PO didn't do. I'm just now staring to really dig into it and I have lots and lots of plans, so much to come over the next couple years!

Alright that being said, heres whats new: Got some Ridler 695's, 20x8.5 up front and 20x10 in the back, running 255/45 up front and 295/40 in the rear. They went on like cake, no fitment issues at all. I got some CA black plates for the truck and got them restored, I'm gonna do a separate write up on that here shortly. A couple weeks ago I did a cheap recover job on the seat with some serapes, it came out pretty good I think considering I didn't spend much or know what I was doing for that matter. Its just temporary anyway as I have another bench seat that I'm having the brackets lowered 1.5 inches and then eventually get new foam and covers from Truckseats. Lastly, got new lens all the way around; sidemarker, LED tailights, backup lens, and clear front turn signals. Its pretty crazy how much difference the lens made, really brightened the look of the truck up. Here's some pics, hope you all enjoy!

Thanks! You know, I didn't think to take any yesterday, if I get a chance I'll snap one off tonight.

Thanks Rene! I'm totally looking forward to sunday, will be a nice break from these last couple weeks. She looks a little better in the pics than in person, but then again she is a work in progress. Whose isn't, right? :lol:

Took the words right out my mouth Rene :lol:

Hahaha thanks guys! Hope it doesn't let you down Sunday. The paint isn't that awesome, the PO had a cheap job slapped on it but I had plans to paint whatever I was going to get anyway. Got a couple dingers on the cab but nothing that won't be fixed down the road. Aside from that stuff I'm really happy with it. It's come a long way since I got it, had to really un-dork the truck from all the goofy things the PO did do it. If I see one more O'Reily skull related accessory I'm gonna snap... :uhmk:

Oh nooo, that isle should be for tuners only ;) :rice:

:lol: I hope I don't let you guys down next Sunday! :lol: I'm bringing my newly acquired 65' which I refer to as a '10 footer" that was restored quite a few years ago and some of the rust is on the hood and header panel is reappearing, please be gentle with me. ;)

No worries Rene, you are always better than the cardboard version :lol:

This guy must have practically lived in this aisle. It was like Portlandia, but instead of 'put a bird on it!' it was 'put a skull on it!'.

Re: Last 2 Months Progress - Wheels, plates, seat, etc...
 

Haha you should bring that stuff to the swap meet. I bet someone will buy it

Looks damn nice. New lenses make a huge difference. It sure brightened up my truck when i replaced the tails and reverse lights.
