After 2 years of work... first drive
Started this project back in Dec. of 2013. Picked a 67 cab up in dallas and 69 swb frame in San Antonio. Bought a totaled out 2002 camaro Z28 with a ls1/t56 combo and started. After many busted knuckles and a empty wallet, I got her on road. And guess what.... it was totally worth it! First and only picture I got today just thought I would share.

Re: After 2 years of work... first drive
Thanks guys I appreciate it. I for sure tried to not cut corners and do it right the first time. It was a headache but worth it

Re: After 2 years of work... first drive
Great job on the build man! I just finished reading it. Your going to love it now that it's road worthy!
Get it out and drive it! That's the true meaning of owning a C10!

Re: After 2 years of work... first drive
Nice work - great looking truck! Two years is not bad at all for that result! I dig the 19" wheels and mini tubs too
Next time, make sure and park the Dodge at the neighbors house when you take pics of the whole truck

Re: After 2 years of work... first drive
Thanks for the compliments man, I had to work alittle harder to get it done but worth it. And once the bed is completely finished I plan on doing a whole photo shoot with this thing before I start putting the road miles on it.
