My turn for a build up post!! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sixty8c10 · 12-02-2006, 08:13 AM

got another update, hes got the caddy lights molded in

**Boog** · 12-02-2006, 08:42 AM

Look out there 68. You are liable to have an all out double throwdown custom by the time you get back.

What's next, top chop?

**Palf70Step** · 12-02-2006, 08:56 AM

Looking Good!! I agree with Boog

bgangsta999 · 12-02-2006, 10:09 AM

looks like its going great man! If you see a guy by the name of Sgt Harvey tell him Hankey said whats up! He's a flight ops guy. Truck looks awesome!

roj2323 · 12-02-2006, 08:42 PM

looks awsome and it's nice to see a body man that isin't afraid to take and send you pictures as the work progresses. i imagine it's givng you some major peice of mind. btw i apsolutly love the shaved fire wall. it's nice to see one without the screwy looking 1/4in bumpout that doesn't match side for side.

Josh

ps. The caddy lights look sweet!

Want to sell that center seat in the bed or are you planning a seat swap? Oh and great work so far. The caddy lights are sweet!! I have a set but they do not look to good in a step side.

sixty8c10 · 12-03-2006, 04:34 AM

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I am excited about every step closer to completion it gets. Though it has slowed down quite a bit.

No top choppin here.

Is SGT Harvey over here, or on his way? I am a Blackhawk crewchief so I know most of the OPS guys pretty well. Nevermind he is here.

I searched for a long time to find a body shop to do this to my truck, I am very particular when it comes to my truck. I want to see everything, and know exactly what is being used.

Yes, a seat swap is in the works, that particular seat is not mine, though it came out of another truck he is working on.

68GMC454 · 12-03-2006, 10:42 AM

nice truck..keep your head down over there,,and thanks for all you do...

sixty8c10 · 12-10-2006, 07:09 AM

here a new update for y'all
he's been working on the dash:

ghackett1 · 12-10-2006, 08:17 AM

I just love the way some body shops cover the motor to protect it from overspray and sanding dust!!! Anyway, That is going to be one awesome ride. Congrats on the progress and can't wait to see it finished!

sixty8c10 · 12-21-2006, 06:11 AM

Okay I have a decision to make, and I need some help with this one.
Roll pan or bumper?
Here is some update pics with the tailgate.
without bumper

with bumper resting on exaust pipes

What is your opinion?

**Palf70Step** · 12-21-2006, 06:28 AM

Bumper. YES

It looks very classy with those Caddy taillights!

panhandler62 · 12-21-2006, 09:13 AM

I like bumpers

el curioso · 12-21-2006, 09:34 AM

bumper gives it a more of a classic custom look. Hope that made sense??

Bumper all the way! Just about every custom I ever see built has the roll-pan.

I say dare to be different!

The truck is looking awesome!

Are you going to have it bagged or just a conventional drop?

Get back soon, & thanks for what you are doing over there. I know that I for one appreciate the kind of sacrifices that you servicemen are making for liberty.

God bless,
Buddy

poorboy · 12-21-2006, 10:58 AM

I would go with the bumper and a hidden hitch. Thanks for the service for our country.

sixty8c10 · 12-21-2006, 11:12 AM

I thought I was already different, I am keeping it a long bed...lol

Yes its getting bags, hidden hitch is already in the plans

Keep them opinions coming.

My opinion, turn the keys over to me.

OK you can keep the 68, I'll let you give me the Blazer

Hey you did ask for opinions

even terrible ones.

CPNEJR · 12-21-2006, 04:58 PM

awesome truck...especially like the caddy lights.

kyull67 · 12-21-2006, 05:54 PM

Keep the bumper but do something with those tailpipes.

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-21-2006, 06:01 PM

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet Progress

sixty8c10 · 12-22-2006, 04:03 AM

palf70 thanks, but no

The exhaust will be completely redone at a later time.

So far the bumpers have it, which is good cause I like it myself.

sixty8c10 · 02-16-2007, 09:18 AM

WOW... it has been a long time since I put anything up here. I am back in the states now.. at home visiting my kids and my truck....then its of to Louisiana again. My truck is still in the shop, they have torn it back down to clean and paint the frame. Then it will be going back together again for paint.
I asked the guys over in photoshop to hook me up with an inspiration photo. That's enough rambling here's a photo a few days old...hope fully I will be able to get another before I leave here for Louisiana again.

**Boog** · 02-17-2007, 09:15 AM

Hey 68. Welcome back. Home for long this time? Everytime you post a pic of the progress the trucks torn down farther. LOL Ah but you'll be smelling some paint before long I'll bet. You are ahead of me!
