Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Thanks Coulter, not near the fabrication of your build, man I'm just a parts replacer compared to you. I love your photos as well.
Floor is holding up, the glossy shine is gone but the paint is still stuck, have welded over it, hit it with a plasma cutter and parts cleaner so far with no problems. It's much easier to clean for sure.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Got the front end together, she has a sway bar for the first time
![]() May have tires and wheels tomorrow, disc brakes next week, transmission next week things are looking up. Seems like I'm always waiting on parts but fact is this build is only 34 days old, time flies when you're having fun. ![]() ![]()

Still working on the color scheme, but pretty much a stock look with all moldings and emblems.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Here are some more shop pics. This is the original 30x40 shop I built 7 years ago. You could not walk in this shop 60 days ago and the floor was not painted.
This photo is on the engine side it has a loft area in the corner for storage. ![]() This photo is the oposite corner, loft is on the right. ![]() Standing under loft area looking towards overhead doors, walk thru door on right goes to new shop area ![]() Standing by truck cab looking at overhead doors, main walk thru door is left of the small overhead door ![]()

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Thanks guys, trust me I know how blessed I am to have this shop. I'm amazed every day I'm in there, make those 110 deg days this summer putting up red iron worth it.
