What makes it unique or custom?

What are your personal touches that make the truck yours?

Feel free to post pictures.

My 1980 big ten is rebuilt and painted front to back and looks brand new like it was in 1980.

My 74' has pearl parchment interior. I can't seem to find any info on it or and dye to dye the stupid arm rests.

1981Sturgis · 12-12-2012, 03:34 PM

Made my own fender emblems. Surfaced them on the computer, then had the CNC guys machine them.

And I too have a shovelhead.

**Corts60** · 12-12-2012, 04:19 PM

Mine is a diesel short box 1/2 ton with bucket seats, all factory. Aftermarket wise it has a gear venders overdrive. I get 23 MPG. That's how I'm unique.

And I'm probably the only active member on this board running an Olds diesel.

A CUCV actually running on the road around here is unique in itself, but we also put our shop logo on the side.

zaccaglin · 12-12-2012, 06:55 PM

Origional paint code paint job and original interior with small custom camo accents here and there. Also some one ton features on it being that it's a 3/4.

CoggedBelt75 · 12-13-2012, 12:34 AM

My personal touch......

maxxxy · 12-12-2012, 08:47 PM

Since I started the thread, I should probably add something.

I haven't added any personal touches to my truck yet to make it mine, but I will when I will when I get it going down the road!

One thing that I haven't seen a lot of is my conversion to 5 x 4.75" wheel bolt pattern.

*mrhino* · 12-12-2012, 10:04 PM

How did you paint the gmc so perfectly???

*mrhino* · 12-14-2012, 08:26 AM

lots of tedious taping with fine-line tape. I sprayed it with a single stage paint. I did the front free hand with a brush. then cleared over both

meter swinger · 12-14-2012, 10:21 AM

1. Its ugly.
2. I traded a ford for it.

Cummins engine with NV5600 6 speed transmission behind it. On top of that is a Gear Vendors.

Custom paint job.

Full power Italian leather Cadillac 60 Series seats. Only a handful of these seats were ever produced. And yes, they're extremely comfortable..

king-918 · 12-12-2012, 11:05 PM

What makes mine unique is the fact that I have more parts for it in my house then on the truck. But I love it

454 1/2 ton. Bonanza (not Silverado) with PW/PL, tilt and cruise. PO ordered it that way.

**oldman3** · 12-13-2012, 03:45 PM

I think mine being made into a roadster, the custom interior and many other small custom items, make it unique....Jim

maxxxy · 12-13-2012, 04:14 PM

Oldman that interior is clean!!!!

**oldman3** · 12-13-2012, 04:22 PM
