Re: My dream build '68' swb
Primered C10 sitting on the ground - I'm sure it does!
Great looking truck. That dash is a big step above and just makes that truck. Completely awesome! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: My dream build '68' swb
Thanks for the support! I have been thinking of tearing the trailer fenders out up front and running them open like Mitch Henderson did on his sexual chocolate truck?? Whats you guys opinion?

For the inner fenders, have you looked at 67chebys "sloshtubz" ? click the red link in his sig. very nice inner fenders for layed out C10s. The truck looks sweet (now that I see the pics) what size steel stock did you use for the back half? Im considering doing something similar. Later and keep the progress and pics coming! thats a sweet project.

Re: My dream build '68' swb
SCOTI....The trailer fenders are a great idea!! And C10Rustbucket i used 2x4 box don't recall the wall thickness! some guys use 2x3 but i wouldn't recommend it.... I have dreamed about these C10 trucks since i was a young lad, Some day when mine is finished i hope to take a break from my career and build them for Other people not as fortunate to have the resources and know how... Thank you All for the motivation..

Re: My dream build '68' swb
I really like the look of them when you cut them at the top of radius and run it flat to the firewall but I dont have the tools to bend the metal on the edge to match the trailer fender!
