I appreciate that! Yeah that truck is actually a root beer brown, but it is so cool in person. They did a great job on it. Hope mine is that clean when it is done. |

Re: 75 Dually build
So the Dually got taken out to it's second show and came away a winner for it's category! Good times with good friends, and a nice plaque to top it all off.

Re: 75 Dually build
So I posted this on Facebook last night and asked the question if they thought the red and silver combo on this C10 would look good on the dually? The comments I got back were very positive. I have both of these colors in the shop right now. I just need to finish up the body work and shoot it.
Your thoughts? |

Re: 75 Dually build
I like the red and silver as well. It has the factory feel with the two tone, but is custom because they are not factory colors.

Re: 75 Dually build
Congrats on the plaque! I dig the two tone...our trucks are just too big for one color.

Re: 75 Dually build

Re: 75 Dually build
Did another video (because I was bored) on the Dually over the holiday weekend. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I tried using a iPad with all of my build pics in a slideshow as a show prop instead of the photo book everyone uses. It seemed like a good idea, but it was too bright outside to see it.

Re: 75 Dually build
I use Microsoft Movie Maker. I believe it is a free download for Windows 8/10 users. I like it because it is easy to use and edit my stuff. Plus once your done you just click a button at the top and it will publish it in YouTube. Nice bit of software.

Re: 75 Dually build
We started a weekly drive-in group on Facebook, and each week we go to a different Drive-in in and around our area. Tonight was fun at an old time drive-in in Lubbock called Miss Ann's. We even had Dustin from Gas Monkey Garage come hang out with us. He brought out a new ride he has been working on, the white truck you see here.
Great fun and the Dually was a blast. Love the looks it gets from "normal people". The husbands want to come look at it, but their wives are like no! Too funny! |

Re: 75 Dually build
Love the video, with the different angles and some music. I went through Lubbock on my way to Austin and back to Montana this past week and was hoping to see your truck somewhere, but it didn't happen.

Not really any new updates so far. I'm trying to get psyched up to start on the balance of the body work (which actually isn't really that much). The roof and the drivers door need some attention before I can throw some paint on it. I have been working more on the door positions and body gaps lately. |

The dash was a 2 part deal. First I have a 61 cab and it was super rusty, but the dash was in amazing shape, so I took it out after doing a ton of measurements and dropped it in my ride. Part 2 of this was a buddy had done this type of dash swap in his C10, but his was the later 64-66 dash and was the main inspiration for my swap. On your ride go ahead and just do it. The big thing you have to consider is the AC setup and all the wiring can be a big mess, but if your into fab work then it is a must do! |

Re: 75 Dually build
So I have been staring at the ugly bed light on my truck for some time now knowing that it had to go. So last night I got busy and pulled the lamp, made the small sheet metal plugs to fill in the holes, and then filled in the work with filler and the line where the roof meets the lower cab body work. Really straight forward stuff, and it only took a couple of hours from start to finish. I will do some additional blocking and then shoot some primer when I'm happy with the final results.
Next is the main roof panel with all those hail dents... Just not looking forward to it, and Lubbock just started into a heat wave where the temps are going to be over 100 degrees and humid (humidity this high is not normal for our region). Ah well if it was easy.... |

Re: 75 Dually build
Nice work on the light removal. It has been hotter than satan's ***hole here for about 3 weeks. The humidity has been high too. It always is though. It is 97* still. I'm really looking forward to July and August. Haha
