Dang sob....That's just plain sanitary..
Let's see some more...
Get crackin.
You need to be drivin/showin off that thing.

truckdrivinsob · 04-09-2012, 06:18 AM

Thanks guys! I'm going for a stock look but subtle custom touches. The tail lights I think are really gonna set it apart.

Did you buy a kit for the lights? Just wondering how you fab'd the buckets. Nice work, I was thinking of changing out my lights also. Are you keeping the B/U lights also?

My '64 won't be ready, but we can just meet up and grab a burger and B.S.

About your avatar: Is that your truck? The reason why I'm asking is that I'm looking for an original white patina'd tailgate for my '64 and that truck in your avatar is almost a twin to mine. I have a really nice tailgate, but it's primered. I'd trade tailgates and throw in some nice extra parts to sweeten the deal.

Yeah I live in victorville / hesperia that would be cool I went bye the farmer boys today the was a few car out but was really chilly out today would be cool to hang out with other c10 truck out there

steve'62 · 04-13-2012, 12:10 AM

yeah looking nice, fits nice and clean

Not really a kit. I have a 52 pontiac chieftain that I shaved the tail lights off of and did some 59 caddy lights on it. I had the stock ones hanging on the wall and they just kept calling me. Then i ran across these buckets and it was meant to be!!

So I ordered those and 2 of these http://www.speedwaymotors.com/1950-P...mbly,3079.html

Plasma cutter welder and the rest is history! B/U lights will be some glass lens lights from a peterbilt type chicken hauler stuff stay tuned!!

Those tails look perfect on there. I like how the round light matches the curve of the bedside

Liking those lights more everytime i see them, good job.

duallyjams · 04-23-2012, 08:11 PM

I like it.

idreama300 · 04-23-2012, 08:36 PM

Looks great. Very nice work.

JRANGER · 04-23-2012, 09:22 PM

wow, cant wait to see them with some paint

zippeay · 04-30-2012, 09:56 AM

Not trying to hijack your thread but I just installed mine too, thanks for the idea! BTW, where did you put your access hole? I wasn't sure if I cut it right behind the lights if I could get my hand all the way in there... Guess I don't have much choice now, haha.

I will be honest, I was nervous as hell because I didn't realize how close these come to the inside edge by the tailgate. I think it turned out well though. I can't wait to get mine painted! I'm looking forward to seeing yours in paint too. Did you shave your trim also? I made my long bed into a short bed and shave all the trim.

**70cst** · 04-30-2012, 03:33 PM

Guys...that is just way

I just cut the back support for clearance. I have not decided on trim yet. Its so expensive to buy but i really like it! Not sure what to do yet!

zippeay · 09-18-2012, 10:23 AM

Have you made any more progress on this? I've done a lot but I still have a long way to go. I'm trying to get my painted by the end of next month but I have a long way to go. Just wondering if you finally painted yours.

woodscavenger · 09-19-2012, 12:44 AM

Like it was meant for it. Nicely done!

badriand · 09-19-2012, 07:43 AM

I wish I would have ran across this thread when I shaved my tailgate hinges and holes. Looks awesome.

Sorry for the delay in response!! I am an otr truck driver so life has been in and out. But anyways the bed sits done. I am in the process of moving to myrtle creek oregon so the bed and truck can be united! Gonna work on the bed floor then decide on color and trim. Have to get the motor swapped and 700r4 in then cosmetics.
