Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
Looks great. What size and thickness metal did you use for the crossbraces. What size dimple dyes did you use in them as well?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
Fricken' SWEET!
Hood struts would be great. Maybe I'll use the stock shocks I pulled off the truck. They should be strong enough for those massive slabs o' metal. ![]()

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
Inner Fender Modifications and Moon gas pedal. We will change up the brake and clutch pedals and new Moon pedal pads to match gas pedal. We are trying to keep with our "salt flats push truck " theme.

That's how I'm doing mine. I hit our good friends up about 'helping' that portion of the project along.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
Does anybody else think that 60-66 looks better in a long bed than a 67-72 in a long bed?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
What diameter and width trailer fenders did you use?
Also,... where did you purchased them?
