Found this today at my local pick-n-pull. I thought it was different so I snapped a few pics. Anybody ever see one before?

**old Rusty C10** · 12-02-2013, 10:20 PM

prolly a jc whitney kind of thing definitely not factory.... could be from a custom shop too

csdineley · 12-02-2013, 10:27 PM

yeah I thought it's not a factory piece, strangest part is it's all metal.

**hatzie** · 12-02-2013, 10:53 PM

Badges from Choo Choo or another custom house?
Nice place for a 1/2 DIN stereo, 10M, and CB out of sight... Not many folks look up.

csdineley · 12-02-2013, 11:03 PM

I didn't see any special badges. The rest of the truck looked like any other 84 k10. 305 with auto. Only other out of place things. It had hdyroboost brakes, and a newer engine with center bolt value covers.

willett · 12-03-2013, 01:54 AM

Coooooool!!

bluex · 12-03-2013, 01:59 AM

That truck was probably a factory diesel since it had hydroboost. When it died they threw in the 305 instead...

The headliner is neat, i would have pulled it looking for a company name...

cadillac_al · 12-03-2013, 09:43 AM

It looks like something out of a big rig. Maybe it's even GM out of a Topkick or something.

bnoon · 12-03-2013, 10:08 AM

I probably would have pulled it. I like period correct mods like that.

bigblock73 · 12-03-2013, 10:13 AM

Pretty sweet, I'd yank it for sure!

**hatzie** · 12-03-2013, 12:21 PM

I'd pull it out. You could sell it if nothing else...

csdineley · 12-03-2013, 12:33 PM

Maybe I'll run back down there this week. And see it I can grab it.

Gordonr1973 · 12-04-2013, 07:12 PM

If you get it, sell it to me if you don't want it.

Send me a PM once you have it, thanks!

*nekkidhillbilly* · 12-04-2013, 07:42 PM

jc whitney used to sell those back in the day.

cory d · 12-04-2013, 10:05 PM

hopefully some one doesnt rip it apart to get something else. seen many good gauge bezels and dash pad get killed like that

If it's all metal do you know if it's removable? It may be part of the cab as in welded in.

SeniorVerde · 12-05-2013, 03:37 PM

Look what I found (right column, 2 spots down)

TDS-MN · 12-07-2013, 09:57 AM

I would not have even slowed down to take a picture, I woulda started removing stuff. . . Looks cool!

csdineley · 12-09-2013, 08:29 PM

Yeah wish I would have grabbed it, but I'm more worried about getting my truck back on the road. I don't think the head liner would fit in the wife's cruze.
