Re: Project 85 C10

thanks, guys, for the compliments. when i start on a project i like to have most of my parts collected, so i can roll on without interuptions. its coming together nicely, i have more pics to post, as soon as i have time. im planning on frenching some LED taillights into the rear bumper, and we have a 81-82 front bumper with the turn sinals in it. and like gcburdic says, on to the 69 burb, 69 swb, and 65 comet (all 3 of those are mine, lol)

Looks nice and your new dash pad looks to be in good shape, but you know it wont fit in the 85 right?

Re: Project 85 C10

Nice progress on your truck man! I'm about 3/4 way through my 86' stepside build and have been at it steady for about 3 months now. Looking at your pics kinda looks like working on my truck. I just got the wood for the bed cut, drilled, sanded, and stained today. Good luck on your project!

Re: Project 85 C10

Wow! This is moving along great. I love the progress so far. You mentioned that your looking for a flatter sheen than the first try. From the pics, I thought you had it nailed.

Keep in mind, the flatter the sheen, the easier it gets stains on it.

The metal portion under the dash pad on 73-80s has the rear edge angled or rolled instead of a more 90* angle on the 81-87s. And I think you can put a newer pad on an older dash, but not the other way around. I could be wrong though.
