Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks fellas!
![]() Played with PS a bit more- stuck some Coy's on the truck, exactly like what I had on the Blazer. If I go this route again, it will be with a twist- unlike anything anyone else has. Of course, that's what I thought when i put the Coy's on the Blazer, now they're everywhere...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Nice truck brotha, and thank you for removing the 90's step side bed. The way the cab and bed flow together (especially on a fleet side) is one of the most beautiful lines on these trucks. Why anybody would put a newer bed on I don't know, great job thus far keep us posted!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I think the cast center ttII's would look really nice on your truck and would be my vote. What size you looking to go with.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks! I dunno, though. Thinking of doing something a little different..

Hm, maybe something like that. I'm thinking a flat or 'matte' finish, deep dish, and pancaked center caps, ala trans am racers of the '70s... Quote:
Thanks- think I'll be leaning somewhere close to this direction. Time (and money) will tell... Thanks! Don't know about CTC, but we will be headed out to GG Lonestar in a few weeks- gotta fix a small tranny leak first...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Was reminded, by the fact that we're headed to GoodGuys Lonestar Nats in a couple of weeks, that I had done some work on the truck in preparation for the trip, but had failed to update. Here's some crappy cell phone pics of the insulation I installed last week. It is from a guy I found on the HAMB, who goes by the name lobucrod. The insulation is supposed to cut down 97% of radiant heat up to 450*. From the difference I can feel on the firewall and floorboards, where it used to burn your feet, now exhibits no temperature change; I'd say it works- and quite well. I love finding cheap alternatives that actually perform...

Also check around Google for reviews. Couldn't find a bad thing written about it, and can't find anything bad to say myself. Good stuff- and cheap. ![]()

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks for the link its early today and I must be slow but did you buy 2 40 sq. ft. rolls and one big roll of tape? This looks to be a nice cheap alternative to dynamat. I'm very interested.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I just ordered some also. I have fat mat down now (almost done anyway) and will lay this over it. BTW, nothing wrong with bright shiny wheels on a patina truck either. Just saying...

They suggest taping the seams. I suppose you could do the edges too- I just ran mine out to the edges of the panels... Posted via Mobile Device
