That is really sharp, love the color, interior, drop, engine bay, dont like the location though, it should be in my garage.

Cheers

Two thumbs up...very nice!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing the pics. As to the wheels, if you change, my vote goes for 17's.

1971 Cheyenne · 12-03-2003, 01:43 PM

SWEET TRUCK!

My vote goes for 17's also. IMHO, 20's are a disgrace to the trucking world. I guess you either like em or you dont!

Very nice truck!

Could you take a side shot of the hydroboost brake cylinder for me? What year of truck did you get it out of? I'm doing the same thing with a setup from an 89 1 ton. How did you modify the shaft to attach to your brake pedal? Sorry for all the questions.

That is what I have been looking for I have been planning on painting my truck french blue and that color is very close.... B!TCHIN TRUCK!!!

Looks sweet!!!!!!!

I love it! I really like that color. looks kinda like a corvette blue color.

tomsC10R · 12-05-2003, 01:35 AM

Thanks again for all the kind words.

Yukon Jack,
The hydro boost is from a 1986 truck, not sure what model. I'm also not sure how he attached the rod to the pedal. Haven't had time for that close of an inspection

I'll try to get a picture of it.

PA70C10,
The guy I bought it from, said the column is from a 90 S10. That along with an 86 steering box meant for some inner fender modification.

As for the wheels, maybe I'll get 18's. They're a little more affordable than the 20's. I'm thinking about getting the American Racing TT II Reverse Lip for the rear. The 9" is already pretty narrow, so it should work out pretty well.

Here's the 20's chopped off of Rotadyne's Blazer.
The angle's not perfect, but you get the idea.
