Thank you guys! it just keeps going farther and farther, going to be way better then I would have ever thought possible.
I need to figure out how to scan the old old pictures of it when we got it about 11 years ago. I never would have thought it would have turned into this.

Slick67 · 10-19-2012, 10:38 AM

67c10rustbuket · 10-19-2012, 12:14 PM

Thanks! I can't wait either but there's a ton of work to do by then!

widewhite70 · 10-21-2012, 01:33 PM

Here are a few updated pictures of the cab

**RRR18** · 10-21-2012, 02:59 PM

Looking good. Weather is turning so you'll have lots of time to work the next "couple" of months.
As for the sponsorship...just drive it to Summit when they have one of the big shows there with all the vendors. You'd be surprised what'll happen. Guy I worked with did that and his Mustang ended up on one of their turntables in the front for few months.

gringoloco · 10-21-2012, 03:10 PM

I do NOT envy you after seeing all that dried mud...

What kind of wood floor are you going to do? I have thought about doing that on my 70 C-10 when I rebuild it. I do commercial woodwork for a living and am considering using a 3/4" bamboo plywood. I would cut it into 5" to 6" wide slats and put stainless strips in between them. It would be cleared to show the pretty grain. The nice thing about the bamboo is that it could soak in a bucket of water for days and not soak up any water. Oh, and it doesn't rust so later on you won't have to do "just a little rust repair" again. Let me know if you want more info.

I haven't made my mind up yet on wood but that bamboo would be different! and thanks for the heads up I will keep you in mind for sure! I appreciate it.

widewhite70 · 11-01-2012, 09:59 PM

A little dash work and got the gauges back out of cluster to get it smoothed up.

68GMCCustom · 11-01-2012, 10:15 PM

You have me rethinking my cluster setup...and considering cutting up my spare glove box....tho (with a look at my exhaust) I'm pretty sure my metal working skills aren't up to the task.

Slick67 · 11-02-2012, 08:31 AM

Nice!! The cluster looks great and your cab is really coming along. You should have it in paint by next month!!
