Custom pics! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Oldschool82 · 03-07-2010, 06:45 PM

I am a fan of custom work, anything that sets apart one vehicle from the next. Post some pics of anything custom, that has been done to your truck or maybe pics of custom stuff you have in the plans for your truck ( interior,body work,custom gauges, shifters....what ever)! I have not got to that point yet on mine but I did make a decent looking dash trim plate out of aluminum. Not much ,but all I have at the moment, so let's see what you got.

lookin good so far guys! Keep those pics coming!

Here are some pics I saw some were. I'd like to do some of my speakers like this guy did. I really like the custom panels made for the door speakers.

Oldschool82 · 03-07-2010, 08:44 PM

As I have told you before,I like your style. I have thought of updating a few things on my truck and door switches was one of them. Was it much of a problem wiring up those newer style window and door lock switches?

Lots of good ideas there.

Ryan87 · 03-08-2010, 10:29 PM

I work for a restoration shop that also has a full machine shop. We make alot of one off valve covers, air cleaners, wheels, mouldings, medallions & whatever else you can think of!

slipkorn34 · 03-09-2010, 01:44 AM

not sure if this counts but if you know what your lookin at its set apart

bigwheel15 · 03-09-2010, 02:22 AM

Would broken stuff count as custom? If so I think I can dominate this thread.

slipkorn34 · 03-09-2010, 02:35 AM

oh and ryan i love those indy speedster valve covers
