Steve’s been good..... There have been some times when he's had other priorities, but he is focused and makes progress when he gets back at it !

What I need to do is clean my garage whiles he's got the truck !!!!! What a mess !!!

birdistheword · 06-11-2014, 06:16 PM

Looking really good.

ryanroo · 06-11-2014, 09:07 PM

very awesome.

Bennett68C10 · 06-11-2014, 10:06 PM

Awesome build, love the green and white. Beautiful combo.

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-12-2014, 06:33 AM

Thanks Guys !!!

I very happy with how it's coming out, I think the color combo looks awesome !!! One of my previous trucks was this same green, but solid green, but that was just too green. With the white & the trim it really makes the it look sharp.

Nice work!

The paint looks beautiful. I know this has been a long time coming to get to this point.

I also like the wheels. Seems like they have a little bigger holes than most that you see in that style. What brand/size are they? Thanks

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-12-2014, 08:40 AM

Mickey Thompson Classic 3's 17" x 9" The holes may be bigger due to them being 17" or when they went to the Classic 3's they may have changed the holes !

Gary

**cmabolt** · 06-12-2014, 03:15 PM

Holy smokes Gary! You had to be kinda ecstatic when you saw her wrapped back up in painted sheet metal?! Now I am really jealous. maybe I should put mine on a trailer and bring her north to your body guy.

The two tone looks so good as well. I guess I could always do that after mine's assembled.

Anyway, I think the narrower tires look so much better on these trucks. I will be following suit with a narrower tire. Do you know what the backspace is on your rims and width of the rim?

Congrats again!
Chris

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-16-2014, 07:52 PM

Just found this thread, fantastic work, quality job indeed!

sdailey · 06-16-2014, 08:53 PM

Simply amazing. Gary your truck is awesome. I hope mine is half as nice as yours when its done.

ryanroo · 06-16-2014, 09:08 PM

Outstanding.

Bennett68C10 · 06-17-2014, 05:40 AM

Man your truck looks beautiful. Good thing you changed the lift, you would have knocked your garage door opener down

swamp rat · 06-22-2014, 01:21 PM

Good idea! I'm always afraid if i hammer drill a hole in my floor for a concrete lag bolt i'll end up cracking the concrete real bad, so i avoid it.

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-22-2014, 09:09 PM

I hear ya, but I'm too old to be pushing that thing back into the garage. Going out is no problem, going in is a slight up hill grade and that makes the truck a lot heavier ...... "LOL"

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-23-2014, 06:32 PM

Nothing big, just messed around with my 8-383 emblems today. Painted them to look similar to the original emblems.

Dean'smeanmachine · 06-23-2014, 07:05 PM

looking good

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-23-2014, 07:11 PM

Thanks Dean !

One more pic. I used a mini roller for the black around the 383 and it came out like crinkle paint, not the best looking in the pic, but looks really good in person.

sduckworth13 · 06-26-2014, 08:04 AM

Wow!! Your truck looks amazing Gary, very nice work.

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-26-2014, 08:13 AM

Thanks Scott !

Haven't had a chance lately to check in on your project, how's it coming along ?
