Re: Before and After ... Lets see your trucks transformation.

I brought my C10 home 4 years ago this week, and here's how it sits now. I ended up swapping out everything but the cab and frame. lol

71 C20 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper - wish I still had it! Not a thorough restoration (obviously) but a little bit of elbow grease goes a long way.

Re: Before and After ... Lets see your trucks transformation.

72' GMC bought about ten years ago, been a driver since day one. My son buffed it out first, took front group off and cleaned up, did the interior and now just got done with paint. Still putting back together.
