Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
Well finally got her home!..couldn't be more happy with the color and detail done..pics don't do it justice,it shines like a mirror.






Now I get to be super cautious putting it back together..think I'll wrap it in bubble wrap haha

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
That is an awesome price on that turbo, and your truck is looking killer!! Are you going to run a carb?

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
If you don't mind me asking did you just weld those holes up where trim used to be because mine was missing trim when I bought it and I want close them up the right way but without a lot of filler or fiberglass. Thanks and truck looks sweet btw nice job man.

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
Yea I just welded the holes up from the trim screws...thanks for the compliments guys,I'm ready to get this thing atleast fired up soon...

Here are a few pics of intercooler/radiator mock up..im still up in the air on painting the intercooler black..there will also be a big trans cooler in front of the IC..that will be black to if I go that route..I think if I don't paint them they will stick out like a sore thumb behind the black grill..

IMO in no way is an intercooler a "sore thumb" lol. your truck is awesome. Maybe its kind of ricer but I like the way my transmission cooler looks behind the grill. I even get compliments.
