Here is another truck I am almost done with. I still have to paint the tailgate and cowell. It started life a little over a year ago as a 3/4 ton long box. Garage built. Enjoy!

**Hart_Rod** · 06-11-2009, 05:24 PM

Good looking truck! Where are the build pictures?

72BlckButy · 06-11-2009, 05:25 PM

Beautiful truck!

What drop are you running on it?

jwn1975 · 06-11-2009, 05:39 PM

Thanks guys,
Ill get some build pics up when I find them. I used 2.5" spindels and 3" springs up front. Its a bbc under the hood so that probably helps the front a bit. The rear is flipped, notched, few leaf springs removed and hanger drop. Could still go about 1-1.5 lower in the rear but Im sick of working on it. Drives nice and rides good. When im All done with it. Its going up for sale.

big_al_71 · 06-11-2009, 05:42 PM

that truck is looking awesome.....once is ready to go for sale let me know...

jwn1975 · 06-11-2009, 05:46 PM

Will do thanks.

sson20s · 06-11-2009, 09:15 PM

thats a nice truck

**GruntMoanCough** · 06-11-2009, 10:43 PM

Chrome and black, can't beat it, IMO.
That's the exact look I have planned for my '72, so I'm a little more than biased.
Nice job!

BAGNDRAGIT · 06-11-2009, 10:44 PM

Awesome lookin truck!!

**70cst** · 06-12-2009, 12:13 AM

killer71 · 06-12-2009, 06:01 AM

Some of the great rides are built in a garage! Any interior picts?

Southern C10 · 06-12-2009, 07:36 AM

Man that looks SWEET!!!!!!!!! What size rims and tires are you running with a 5.5" drop on the front?

coggonobrien · 06-12-2009, 08:09 AM

wheel/tire size and backspacing please

clos69 · 06-12-2009, 08:11 AM

That is a nice truck....the only thing I would change are the fender emblems to CST/10 to make it look year correct.

powell72 · 06-12-2009, 05:39 PM

Beautiful truck, very nice work.

ratrod67 · 06-12-2009, 06:08 PM

*c10_1971* · 06-12-2009, 09:32 PM

Stoney · 06-12-2009, 10:35 PM

What wheels are those.
Nice truck

hchad18 · 06-12-2009, 10:41 PM

Of course you have to show us how it went from a 3/4 ton lwb to this.

allen123 · 06-13-2009, 02:04 AM

beautiful truck and yeah i'd like to see some build pics

Jacfourteen · 06-13-2009, 02:39 AM

nice truck! I hope to have my 68 gmc c20 looking that good when done. If you start a build thread I'll be watching it!

**special-K** · 06-13-2009, 06:59 AM

Nice job!! That thing`s got the look,for sure.Does it get a rear bumper or is there a roll pan?Interior and under hood pics?
Not to pick,but I`m curious why the Cheyenne badges?I`ve seen others do the same with lower level trucks that they dolled up,even 69/70s.

70stroker · 06-13-2009, 10:52 AM

most likely one of my favorite trucks.
