Re: 61 c10

thanks man! I will do a tutorial on how i do my hood when I get to it, I have a few ways of doing it in my head, but just have to do some trial and error, right now i gotta get it mobile as it was just frame swapped and engine dropped in last night lol, as soon as its mobile the body work and fabrication will begin!

Re: 61 c10

Thanks captainfab! It will be 2010 gm aqua blue with a beige interior and metal bed floor from later model as well. It has a 350 and turbo 400 with the 6 cyl gears in the rear I have the original 283 I will build with the three speed eventually, also have a 400 small block with a serpentine setup I could take out of my Camaro and use. But don't really wanna take it out right now, the car is complete, can't bring my self to take it apart

Re: 61 c10

So update on the hood, it's gonna be a little bit but it looks like with the help of my friend jasen the hood will automatically slide forward then tilt forward, on a track. Will post pictures when we get started, but right now we have to get it mobile, I decided to take the 400 small block out of my Camaro and use for this truck.
