Longbed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bow Tie Johnny · 05-12-2005, 05:47 PM

Hey, I'm 17 and just bought a 70 chevy c-10 longbed.

I like the longbed because I want the classic look, but I also want an eye catcher. I don't think I ever seen a longbed have the things done to it that I plan to do to it. It is already lowered to a nice stance. Pass this I'm thinking of maybe 17" torq thrust II and maybe a two-tone silver and orange paint. Any tips or ideas for the youngster?

Any pics of the truck? I've always like the torque thrusts...should look nice.

Thanks for the welcome guys, I'll try and get pics on here tomorrow. It's not much now, just primered and dropped, but hopefully it can become a real show stopper. For 1st time pro I live in Texas and for screamin c-10, long fleets do rule

Here is a little motivation. If I had a 5 lug I would have TT2's with out a doubt. The blue one at the bottom with the Torque Thrusts is the picture that made me want a longbed.

Welcome from Colorado. I love the longies they look the best sittin' low. Good luck with it and have fun. BTW where da pics.

*chevytruckfan* · 05-13-2005, 08:07 PM

Welcome, good choice. If you go to shows you would think chevy only made short bed trucks. In my long bed I can get my bike in the back with the tailgate up.
