You are going to have a sharp looking truck when it comes back from the paint shop. Looking forward to seeing some pics.

Thanks! I will have plenty of pics during and after paint! What you think side molding or no? Look at my previous post that McCoyAZ did for me.

For me personally I like these trucks with all the trim on them with or without rallies. Either way I am sure it will look great.

Yeah from day one I said that I was going to keep all the factory trim and then talked to the guy at the paint shop and decided I would do away with the side trim. Now I am thinking I will put it back on...lol.....Decisions, decisions, decisions...

I have to vote keep the lower molding on it! It just makes it pop!

One side with molding and one side without?

They said it cost approx. 400$ to have it fixed. The reason is the frame doesn't have connecting supports on the front and the read but only near the center (If I understood correctly). I climbed under my truck and low and behold this is what I found.

Man when I first seen this I freaked out! Glad it's normal...Whewww. Welcome to the thread

[Claytona08]

I got the design back this evening from Billet Badges on my new fender emblems. I am having them change the N and the M in the word "Platinum", also I want the top of the C10 to be even with the word "Platinum" but the bottom to stay in the same position. I'm also having them add a line under the word "Platinum".

[77ChevySharkBite]

Now that is badass!!!!

So in plenty of time to wait for your truck to get out of paint prison?

You do know that 6-8 weeks in body shop lingo means more like 4 to 6 months don't you?

That badge is just plain cool!

So many texans in here!! Just thought about it, and I think lowered trucks & stunt bikes go together too! 1 guy I ride with just bought an 84 that he's about to slam, and his uncle has a 71 that my brother just put a stupiddddd ass 350 in, we don't know what was done to the motor before, but it's mean. Another guy that used to ride with us has a 91 swb bagged, and two others have 03-04's slammed (static). All chevy's, all lowered. And an older cat in my apartments has a real clean, original 74 swb

[77ChevySharkBite]

hm.......well we do live in Texas where a truck is needed, now our choices on dropping them and slamming then are different but yeah in Texas we need our trucks.

I think it's a blood thing, your born with one manufacter you prefer above all else. Either GM (chevy, gmc), Ford, or Dodge, that's just my personal opinion.

I can't wait to see those badges there going to look awesome man!!!

When I lived over in red oak (around waxahachie area) Everyone and their mom had a liftedddddd truck, there were the few, and the proud that were lowered

Stock is boring. Either lift or lower imo

The reason I love Chevy is because I grew up working on them and in the 80's most Chevy parts fit a crap load of models. I mean I had a 73 Blazer with a 350 in it and I figured out quickly that I could slap a 402BB in and bolt right up to the trans, I was hooked...I did own a 72 Mustang fastback that I totaled, and 71 Nova that my little brother totaled....I miss both those cars. When I started racing cars around we would jack the back up a bit to put larger tires on the back...
