Re: Birth of a C10
I've got a set on my '76 and I like them. They're pretty common I think. I think they look cool and are functional. Leave the window down a little when it rains. I don't know if that helped but thought I'd tell you what I thought of my ventshades. I love this build. Happens to be one of my top ten on the board. Great story and a great looking truck.

Re: Birth of a C10
Losthope, just ran across your thread and I enjoy your work and how your truck has turned out. Glad you took a chance on it. I know you're busy with all of the other projects you have and it's been a while since you posted, but I had to say my favorite idea you had was the bottle opener on the dash. Cool.

 ! only down fall is that i always wear a ball cap and if im reaching out side the truck into the cab the little button on top my ball caps stick up just enough to catch and almost rip my head off every time in a violent jerking motion! drivers side vent shade has a small dent where it happens all the time HAHAHA Quote:

Re: Birth of a C10
Man Tim, Looks like things are going well. Congrats on PG&E. Great Job to land there. Hey, I noticed the under dash AC you have. Do you have it working? What kind is it? I've got one that just sits under the dash (not hooked up yet) by Equipaire Model 707. My son is on me to get it hooked up 'cuz it gets so hot on the Peninsula (LOL Not even compared to your neck of the woods!) Good luck on the house as well!
