Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
That is one sweet truck. I hope he does sale it for the $36,000 buy now price. I would hate to know I had that for sale at that price and needed the money. I doubt this economy is going to help sell it though!

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
Best restoration I have yet to see. Would be nice if they had different wheels and tires though and some T3 headlights.

Wow, $35 is STEEP! He could probably get half that though. Maybe Leno is looking to add to his stable?

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
That is nice.I like the dual snorkle and rallye wheels.But,I`d rather see the full wheelcovers on this one.

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
Why did he spend all the time on the truck to make it as close to factory and then go put side post terminals on it. I've never had any luck with those, they have always leaked on me. Has the compressor been converted over to R134-A as well, the ports look bigger. Just a couple things I've noticed.

454 crate engine kind of kills the "stock" thing.

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
The brake booster is also black, and I believe it should be cad. plated. If you are going to go to this extreme, you should at least put the correct wheel covers on it, as well as the correct air cleaner. It is still a very very nice truck though, and I would be proud to own it. You could eat off the chassis too.

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
We just don't have a structure that is in the business of judging these trucks as restorations, do we? I mean that the Tri-5 Chevies have a National organization. Mustanger's have their organization. What we need is something of a national/international structure that would be a ruling body and have a set of standards that would be used for grading/judging that would put everyone who wanted to be part of it, on the same page. There are numerous antique vehicle clubs, like the AACA, MOTAA and others that serve the hobby by the implementation of standards.
Now, with that said, who wants to do it and how would you set it up?

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
Scott the booster could be black if bendix, cad plated if delco moraine, looks like he might have gone a little sticker crazy w/ one on fan shroud and placement of the harrison sticker on evap box. I agree the full wheel covers should be on it if he is going for the total restore look.

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
Hey Harold- I was assuming the booster was Delco Moraine, that's all I have seen on the C-10's around here....was also going to mention placement of the A/C box and fan shroud stickers

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic truck and a lot of time was spent on it. I just can't stand the fact that it's got a NEW 454 built to 455 HP instead of the original motor, doesn't sound very concourse to me. I also agree about the wheel covers, I vote chrome dogdish since I like those more. Ralley's (IMO) are the most hideous wheels ever and he put them on this truck

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
Beautiful job but it probably would be more accurate to say "meticulous" restoration rather than "correct". I don't get why he would go to the trouble of all the markings and tags and then put non- correct items on it. Gorgeous nonetheless.

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
That's a sweet pickup.
I've got no real interest in making my truck or any old car EXACTLY as it was when it was new. My interest lies in making them look, sound and perform like I want them to. Some guys like the mods I've pulled off and some guys don't. I've never owned a car or truck that was so nice that all I could do with it was push it on and off a trailer and collect my trophies and tell guys "thanks" when they tell me how they like what I've done with it....And I probably never will. ![]() Long story short...My opinion doesn't mean squat. Don't worry about who thinks your truck is correct. Build it like you want it. In the meantime...I guess we'll continue to police ourselves concerning what is and is not correct on these old trucks. ![]() Don't mind me..... ![]() |

Re: For those who appreciate a correct restoration
The metal GM sticker on the door jams is a 67 only thing isn't it?
Invader 400 on a 72 chevy? The exhaust hangers are correct, but the straps are not. Still , it is a VERY nice truck.
