After 2 years of work... first drive - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

S-sguy · 01-25-2016, 11:09 AM

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.

That's got to be a blast to drive.

S-sguy · 01-25-2016, 01:47 PM

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

3drburb · 01-25-2016, 01:21 PM

I just checked out your build thread. That is one sweet ride and a quick high quality build.
Congratulations.

**specialtyretail** · 01-25-2016, 02:22 PM

Damn nice.....

Andy4639 · 03-08-2016, 12:33 PM

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!

Derek.Matirne · 03-08-2016, 12:39 PM

That color is SICK!!! how does someone find the build thread?

BossHogg69 · 03-08-2016, 01:43 PM

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

Boyd67 · 03-08-2016, 11:16 PM

Sweet ride. We need more pics

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.
