Thanks. It's a labor of love

Truck turned out amazing buddy! Glad to be back on here getting inspired again after a long break.

Been hanging with the local C/10 club here in Oklahoma. Starting to really get some good turn outs at our local Coffee and Cars cruise ins.

boostedc10 · 09-19-2016, 12:06 PM

Nice looking bunch of trucks Mike. Wish we had more members to do this in the Detroit Metro area!

mcbassin · 09-19-2016, 12:12 PM

Next on the agenda was driving to the southern side of Dallas (C10s In the Park) with some Oklahoma guys.

I had to get my truck ready to go.

Thrashing in the garage till late at night:

Something you won't see often, my truck at the tire shop with someone else touching it with tools:

Travel day:

Show day:

How about some board members and friends:

(68jwalk)

(scoti)

(stp6772)

(N2Trux)

(skunkwrx)

Just a cool OG paint truck :

Brandon, You will meet a bunch of truck folks when you start driving your truck I'm sure. They are everywhere, just a matter of finding out where they meet up.
We have a bunch of Oklahoma guys, they have all kinds of trucks too. It's cool to hang out and find out about their build or just the history of their trucks.

jeh · 09-19-2016, 01:33 PM

Very cool pics Mike, I also wish there were more guys in my area that were into these trucks.

gringoloco · 09-19-2016, 01:44 PM

Careful hanging out with that crowd, you might end up bagged on billets...

The last one looks like formerly lolife99 now n2billet's truck. Digging the red/plaid interior, too.

Bennett68C10 · 09-19-2016, 02:00 PM

Awesome pics Mike, I've been following along in IG too!

Guess I have to hurry up and finish my truck to find out! Great pics Mike.

shores6 · 09-19-2016, 03:11 PM

Hopefully next year I'll have mine going enough to start hitting some of these shows and meets.

It's all good Chris, I will probably get some billets. Not sure I'll ever have it on air. Not any time soon anyway. I'd like to upgrade the control arms, brakes and sway bars.
It's not lolife99's old truck. Very very nice though.

Thanks. Not sure if anyone keeps track of numbers but 400+ C/10 specific trucks, well that's a lot of trucks.

thanks Boynton. I'm probably not going to make that trip, but I'm going to try. My schedule has been brutal the last few months.

I can attest that's a lot of trucks

In fact it might be a little too many coming from an area with very little fixed up.

It'll also make you consider draining your bank account and/or moving south.

Hey it was good Meeting you Ryan. I wish we could have had more time to visit about your project. Sounds like a plan for you to head south.
