I'm watching it --- i'm stoked that they left it a long bed --- or is it?? i can't tell yet

short beds need love too, though

jayharrell · 05-03-2008, 03:08 AM

thanks for the reminder. i thought it was on at 8.

I wonder what they will do for the head lights. And how much mod they will do to the dash.

I've been waiting for this all week. LOL. my life is BOORING LOL.

But this show is some hard core motivation.

CJ5 Convert · 05-03-2008, 03:28 AM

I was fixing to add a thread. Holy crap he's making his own steering wheel. I wish I had those skills. -J

NotEnuff$$$ · 05-03-2008, 03:32 AM

Long bed.... yeah!
Cool steering wheel. Wuz up with no chick-a-dee?

streetstar · 05-03-2008, 03:46 AM

whew --- its over --- what a great truck -- long bed and what i would call an ultimate "Resto-mod"

they even left the original side moldings on the bottom for resto dweebs like me! Stock front end, stock instrument panel -- houndstooth seats --- oh well, enuff said --- hopefully some pics will leak out and circulate soon

**jamie72** · 05-03-2008, 03:48 AM

I was wondering too... and what was up with the homemade steering wheel? what did he do different with the round bar?

Normal wheel is 17", he cut it down to a 15" wheel, by making a new 15" hoop.

I never saw where they put the fuel filler either, but it definitely had an underbed tank.

The chick has been gone for a while.

I really like that they did away with the stupid pranks, MUCH better show without them.

The truck is GORGEOUS!!!

BigDaddyDave · 05-03-2008, 03:58 AM

That is sooo nice! What would it cost to build that in real life?

Tonka59 · 05-03-2008, 03:59 AM

I caught the very end of the show, I always have like red/black together. good looking truck

bowtieboy93 · 05-03-2008, 08:56 AM

i missed it
i had to go do a disk conversion on a 64 chevelle and i had it taping on my dvd recorder but my mom went and changed the channel

67shortie · 05-03-2008, 09:49 AM

Very very nice looking longbed I do agree

I did notice that the truck was a 3/4 ton when it was picked up and left a 5 lug 1/2 ton? The rear was also trailing arms and springs.

Excuse my ignorance, but are not 3/4 tons all leafs?

HavinSomeFun · 05-03-2008, 04:09 AM

I'm still blown away what they can get done in 7 days.... a complete frame off resto -WOW

However, in true C10 fashion they ran into problems.... the show brought back memories of the all the work I just did on mine.

The truck looks awesome!

chrislehr · 05-03-2008, 04:27 AM

eff me, I STILL forgot to record it.

jayharrell · 05-03-2008, 05:07 AM

I agree with the non prank deal. But i don't like that they don't show more of the build then they do.

Still glad they kept the dash stockish. And with a tach.

And why a slide in bed liner???

But only 310 hp out of that motor???

Hate to be a hater, i would trade mine for that one in a heart beat........ Nice build. Liked the kergoress wheels.

ed2552 · 05-03-2008, 05:27 AM

It is a camper special longHORN, from what i saw,

bad6772 · 05-03-2008, 05:30 AM

not a long horn.....just a 3/4 ton...........they did a great job i think,,,,, but it was a camper special.

**Stocker** · 05-03-2008, 05:47 AM

Well shoot, I only caught the last few minutes of the show tonight -- gotta watch for reruns!

ed2552 · 05-03-2008, 05:50 AM

looks like a longhorn to me

jkade · 05-03-2008, 06:33 AM

So don't everyone got out and use that color scheme since that is about my all time favorite now. I was playing with photoshop yesterday seeing what a front bumper would look like with the tag indention cut and smoothed out and now I know that it looks killer in real life so I will have to steal that idea also and probably find some h3 buckets as well and do the orange houndstooth inserts like I had in my blazer before. Chip is the man!
