72BlckButy · 07-17-2009, 08:02 AM

Nice looking truck! (both of them)

67ChevyRedneck · 07-17-2009, 11:37 AM

Sweet truck!

I like the 79 you had too!

What's up with the hood strap?

cl79c10 · 07-18-2009, 11:15 PM

The hood strap is for pulling the hood off. I fixed the electric fans started detailing everything including the motor and the interior. I repainted the head light bezels and hooked up the sound system not that you can hear it over the motor

Its nothing special just a Kenwood CD 200 watt amp and some 6.5" in the door. I have some MA audio 8" for behind the seats I just need a box that will fit. I will be ordering a new front bumper & grill shell and I am considering a billet grill but we will see.
I plan on taking her to her first show in Aug. in Bend Or
Here is arefew other shots of her.

I just PM'd you back. What made you trade? They look like both nice trucks. Just wondering if you wanted the older year or the frame layin'. That thing gets down there doesn't it!

Both I perfer the 67-72 and it doesnt hurt that it lays flat on the ground. I have been a mini trucker for almost 20 years so "low" is in my blood. I know some people hate it being so low.

cl79c10 · 07-21-2009, 07:56 PM

Not much love for my 72' any reason why?

Since it's in the builds section everyone was probably waiting to see the progress pics before they started posting. Darn sure a nice ride, I happen to have the same wheels on my DD

Thanks maybe it should be moved out of build section theres not going to be a lot of drastic changes made that worth posting. I am just going detail the heck out of it and install a new bumper & Grill and do some minor interior work and install some shiny stuff under the hood.( I hate when people post photos ever time they paint a part or replace a bolt.)

OARNGESI · 07-21-2009, 08:02 PM

I really like it nice trade just finish of the odds and ends and itll be rewally cool whats ride hight look like

cl79c10 · 07-21-2009, 08:22 PM

Bad photo but you get the idea

OARNGESI · 07-21-2009, 08:31 PM

Did you trade a member here it kinda seems familliar

cl79c10 · 07-21-2009, 08:49 PM

I dont think so

BACKYARD88 · 07-23-2009, 12:48 PM

How do you like the tall tunnel-ram intake? I had one on my 88(single carb) and didn't care for it, lost a lot of bottom end torque over a shorter intake.

brian69longbed · 07-23-2009, 02:25 PM

love the longbed. working on mine right now. What does it have for rear suspension? fronT?
check out my build

cl79c10 · 08-03-2009, 12:08 PM

Here are a couple of updated photos of the trucks for those intrested. Took them both out for a short cruise today. Getting the c-10 ready for her first show in couple of weeks so I am redoing the interior and fixing a few things. I also shot a really short video of the c-10 running.

cl79c10 · 08-15-2009, 10:01 PM

Long&low made it too her first show today had alot of fun with my oldest daughter tomorrow is her 18th b-day so we spend the day together!
It was a local show with about 200 cars and everybody knows everybody (but us) finished 3rd in the 70 and newer truck class (no award for 3rd)
got beat by a mid 90's jacked up chevy pickup (nice truck should have been in a different class) and a almost stock dodge warlock owned by one local club members wives. (funny thing happened as we were leaving a couple of guys stopped me and said they couldnt belive both trucks beat me and the only reason was they dont know me) The truck got a ton of attention by the folks coming to the show. Got a lot of the "how do you drive it questions"? Over all we had a great time and will be hitting another show next weekend. Here is a couple of shots of the truck.
6:45 heading to the show

Arriving at the show around 7am

ERASER5 · 08-15-2009, 11:24 PM

I like that it is a long bed.

**kev2809** · 08-28-2009, 09:33 PM

im not a big fan of longbeds but yours is clean man, nice trade

prostreetC-10 · 08-29-2009, 12:20 AM

Met him at the Terrebonne cruise last weekend. Nice guy and nice truck. Can you believe his hood isn't bolted on. It just sits there and he claims it doesn't budge! I do know these hoods weigh 743 lbs! lol
