I have been trying to calculate the measurements from the pics you have to fab my own. i don't like the ones currently on the market that you just attach to existing 4 wheel dollies/skates.

Are you planning on running the Silverado lower trim panels on the door or a derivative thereof? A leather covered one with a polished/chrome strip at the top or are you leaving the bottom of the door naked?

We have discussed that but I’m not 100% sure yet...as for now it’s staying naked. I just like simplicity of it, not to over done

Re: off it goes
Finally it’s on wheels! I really like your truck it’s come along way and loved it when you first bought it. The fact that it looks factory until you look inside is the best part. I’m not generally a fan of ultra low trucks but this is my favourite by far, well done sir well done.

Re: off it goes
looks like @airslamit just bought a poor copy of your truck. TBH, it looks like a generic version of a name brand when compared to your work.

So killer! Looks amazing man. What are the paint color codes? Still Santa Fe Tan? (sorry, nearly color blind so hard to tell on the computer)

Re: off it goes
Truck is absolutely amazing! Crazy how the general concept is unchanged from before the build, but this is definitely a completely different truck! Awesome work!

I'd love to hear and see this thing rolling a bit!

Kinda looks like you just need to put the center caps on it and it’s done. The truck looks flawless.

Thanks, lol... center caps will be last. Have to test drive it, make some air ride adjustments, charge the air conditioning system...a few other small things and give it a once over after the test

Glad to see it under its own power. Congratulations on sticking it out. The truck is beautiful. It was my favorite C-10 before you bought it, and now its my double favorite. I'm glad you kept the original look and paint color(ish), just took it to a whole new level. I doubt I'll ever get to see the truck in person, but thank you for sharing your journey with us. I've enjoyed seeing it come together.

Re: off it goes
I love this truck!
Do you ever wish you had chrome plated the bumpers?
I know they are highly modified.
Maybe plating them wasn’t even possible.
