Finally Done.......for now!ha

I have finally finished my 1972 Chevy Custom Deluxe C10 with a numbers matching 350 and 4 on the floor. The truck is an original hugger orange and is from a farm in ND. I bought her from the original owners estate and have been working roughly the past 9 months to restore it to original condition plus some enhancements. I upgraded the seat from black vinyl to the houndstooth orange/black as well as adding black carpeting. Let me know what you think........went for the original stock look with this one. I think some decent rims and tires down the road would finish it off well.

Re: Finally Done.......for now!ha

Yeah I need to do something with the wheels and tires.........right now it has stock rims with hub caps from a 1973 C10. I just cant seem to find the right tire and rim combo that turns my crank.

Re: Finally Done.......for now!ha

WOW!! That came out great. If it looked like that when brand new, I bet the original owner loved waking up every morning and heading outside to work in a beauty like that all day long!

Do you have any more pictures? I would love to see more.

Re: Finally Done.......for now!ha

Looks great! I wouldn't change the wheels/tires. Just paint the bowtie blue on those dog dishes and you are good to go.
