new to site with bagged 84 c10

[mineralgrey01gt]

Wanted to put some pics of my 84 c10 up on here for everyone to check out and such. There are some really clean and well built trucks on here but mines a complete work in progress. I just ordered some boss 338's in 20's with the gray middle for it. I already did the research on this site for a few months about it and I ended up having the LD rotors on my truck so even better for fitment issues with them. Now on to the truck itself:

SUSPENSION:
bagged with a 2 link rear (definitely getting changed)
chrome lower air ride tech arms up front and stock uppers
firestone bags all the way around
3/8" lines
viair 380 (need another or a bigger one)
chassis tech polished 5 gallon tank in bed
z'd frame
belltech 2" drop spindles

DRIVETRAIN:
350 4 bolt main bored .030 over
289 cam (not sure on brand the motor was in the truck when i got it)
eldebrock 450cfm carb
holly roller rockers ( i think thats what they are)
turbo 400 tranny
3200 stall
stock rear

INTERIOR:
custom rolled sheet metal dash with autometer gauges and leather top
custom center console
Alpine IVA-W505 6.5" in dash screen
kicker 5.25's in both doors
4 kicker cvr 8's behind the seat
kicker 200.4 for highs, kicker 750/1 for subs
all interior minus carpet right now until i get all my wiring situated for everything
billet specialties leather wrapped billet wheel

EXTERIOR:
shaved tailgate with SIR MICHAELS skin
shaved bed pockets
no molding on truck
some ugly wheels (boss 338's are coming)
phantom billet grill across front
molded roll pan
shaved drip edges ( i believe they were atleast, seems like i thought 84's had them on there)


I think thats about it on that truck. Im sure im missing a few thins but on to the pics:

Thanks! I was iffy on it while building it because I wasnt sure how it would go with the truck but it came out better than I had originally thought. I have to get some foam for the top and some thicker foam as im "raising" C10 on the armrest section of it just for looks. Im undecided on colors. I thought about just doing a red leather on it like the dash but I think it would look weird with a red top, black middle then a red console. The gap of no red to the top might bother me but then again it may look good lol. If i dont do that im just doing a black leather or might swap out the red for red crocodile on the top of the dash and steering wheel and black crocodile on the console

I want some bucket seats for it but my bench seat is really comfortable so i hate to change it lol. Thats the reason I went over the top with it since I wanted arm rest in the middle also.

Your right about the sides. They are 3/4" mdf I had left over from building sub boxes. The top is some type of paneling board. I got it from home depot for around $7 a 24x48 sheet

I havent made one but I will when the wheels come in. Im anxious to get them on and give the truck a new look besides those ugly steam rollers on it

A lot has crossed my mind on what to do with it. My main thing id like to do is when I get true bucket seats is redo it and cover it with sheet metal, weld it and smooth it to the dash then repaint the dash and all the final flat/satin black or go gloss black on the inside with some red pinstriping covering it, still undecided on that one

thanks I appreciate it. The console was a fun little project for it. It still needs to be fine tuned but will be before show season starts down here.
