Cool project! Love the economy-paint job. It’ll look great going down the road

$200 is a great find! Always my favorite to see a truck brought back into running and usable condition with what its already got.

Re: 1978 Chevy C10 Custom Deluxe
Finished up the paint today! I didn’t do the hood because it’s absolutely trashed - been bent in half and had reinforcements cobbled underneath. I’m going to try to find a straighter one and install that instead.
![]() [url=https://postimg.cc/kBcsbpX3] ![]() ![]() Hopefully my wheels come back from powdercoating soon. I had the stock steel wheels done in white, and I’m going to replace the front bumper brackets and repaint it white as well, and find a Suburban/Blazer style rear bumper and do the same. I think I have enough spare light lenses to get all the lights back on too. |

I'm liking it! Looking so much nicer.
I think white bumpers and wheels will look good.

Re: 1978 Chevy C10 Custom Deluxe
Tires mounted and balanced!
![]() Bought some lug nuts and mounted them on the truck! ![]() ![]() I fired it up and tried to see if it would move. It was low on transmission fluid, but after throwing a few quarts in, it moved and drove around the yard! ![]() ![]() ![]() Rearranged a few cars in the yard - going to place the 454 in the Chevelle and get the 5.7 Vortec/4L80E placed in the ‘80 C10! ![]() ![]() |
