Re: 1969 c10 the start of something fun
Question about your instrument panel:
did you keep the stock gas gauge? If so how did you wire it? I like your idea of filling/replacing the 4 smaller gauge holes with aftermarket gauges, but I want to keep my stock gas gauge. thanks, and looks good! Scott

Re: 1969 c10 the start of something fun
Mike.... That truck is SIIIIICK! That is exactly what I want to do to mine, Flat black with red accents! The Halo lights are awesome, I was in the air about them until I saw your pics... I getting em!
 You mentioned that the TJ springs in the rear are alittle soft... did you use the TJ rear or front springs? I read through the whole thread but didn't notice if you mentioned it.... |

Re: 1969 c10 the start of something fun
looks good. What wheels are those? Id suggest adding a backing plate or boxing the frame around the notch.

Re: 1969 c10 the start of something fun
The rims are 20x8 Chrome American Racing Vintage Iroc Replica
and you are right, I have to do something with the frame notch. I was thinking of boxing in or making a new rear frame. I will be z'ing the frame to when i put the air ride in when ever that is. |

Re: 1969 c10 the start of something fun
Man you have done an EXCELLENT job on your truck! I love everything about it. On your gear drive, I don't use them but I think they sound killer but I kinda like to hear my motor, you know with the gear drives it kinda drowns out your motor but hey, you are doing awesome!!

Re: 1969 c10 the start of something fun
Thanks man, But i will say I am kinda bummed I am running out of stuff to do.
Ill have to think of some small stuff like shaving the tail light and drip rail and getting the rest of the stuff i need for the air ride. Ill think of something off the wall to do to it maybe like a 12v Cummins Diesel

Re: 1969 c10 the start of something fun
I don't know much about starters, but if the name implies the size then could I recommend possibly looking at some mini starters?
