Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks!!

Here are a few more shots before the complete reveal at the SEMA show next week.

The interior going together with the red Camaro seats and door accents:





The fantastic looking Forgeline CF3C's and Wilwood rotor/calipers:





Some of the machined detail pieces we made for the truck: blower controls, Housing for the Kicker audio controller and the badging for the front fenders and glovebox door:

Roadster Shop: I am building a 68 C10 right now and I love the charcoal color you used. Is that color a custom color or is that from a current car? Thanks!

Re: Roadster Shop / Craftsman C-10 Muscle Truck Build

Well, the truck made it's official debut at the SEMA show last week and was a huge hit. We were also honored to take home a GM design award for the C-10.

Hopefully in the next couple of days, I'll have some good completed pics. In the meantime, here are the next few videos to bring us up to date:

Awesome build, if you guys do other vehicles ( non truck ) I hope you will create a build thread in the Alternate Tinkerings section of this forum.

Re: Roadster Shop / Craftsman C-10 Muscle Truck Build

Beautiful truck. You guys definitely can hold your own against the biggest names in the industry. Chassis details.... drivetrain, appearance, overall concept. All that & more.

Re: Roadster Shop / Craftsman C-10 Muscle Truck Build

Cool details, love the Craftsman touch.. I think every guy one here has a set or two of their tools, just makes the truck that much more special.. Now I wish I really would have made it to SEMA ths year to see this one in person!!!

Good luck getting top dollar at auction, maybe you sould setup a autocross course there and "sell" a few rides to the serious bidders!!! Bet you that would increase the bids.

For some reason we have had a few people ask about them. It's not really anything special, its just a piece of whatever thickness material you want to make the gap to, and you use it as a reference thickness in the gap when you are gapping the door. Just quicker and easier than using calipers or tape measure.
