Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build
Let me start off by saying "WOW" the execution and craftsmanship are over the top. That truck will be a show winner for sure. The bumpers fit the 67-68 body lines well... maybe not so much on the 69-72 years. Keep us updated on your project as the pictures of your work are inspiring... to me!

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build
Glad to see you made it over from the HAMB board. I hope the link I posted got you over here. The HAMB can be a little rough if you don't meet the traditional pre '65 vehicles.
Welcome and like I said over there, AWESOME work!!!
