**N2TRUX** · 10-15-2007, 11:18 PM

Oh yeah, I like it.......:happy:

gringoloco · 10-16-2007, 01:07 AM

Super clean. Looks good without being over-the-top. Perfect

C10-Driver · 10-16-2007, 10:38 AM

Thanks for the compliments guys. I love that "Smily" N2TRUX. I haven't seen that one before.

PDomes7277 · 10-17-2007, 09:27 PM

Looking Sharp

Chevyman63 · 10-17-2007, 10:35 PM

That is SWEET!!

truknut · 10-18-2007, 10:44 PM

Great lookin' truck Geoff. Thanks for sending me the pics earlier. I think I'm going to paint mine that color instead of my factory med. olive. But I'll have side markers and the upper chrome w/white top. So it won't a twin. LOL.

space · 11-02-2007, 11:15 AM

Do you have any interior pics?

Thanks truknut. Looks like there's a few that are taken with this color. bad6772 says he has the paint already but his is a longbox so it will be a little different as well. Can't wait to see yours with the white top. It should look great.

I will be doing a leather interior this winter... Seat, door panels, headliner, behind the seat, kick panels with speakers, etc. My plan is to do a light to medium tan with black accents. I did a bit of a temporary thing for the remainder of this season - painted the factory door panels and found a custom-fit seat cover that looked pretty good. Here are some pics.

wugunguy · 11-03-2007, 12:56 AM

no, no, no, there is something totally wrong with this truck......

wugunguy · 11-03-2007, 12:57 AM

It's not in my driveway

sorry about that

wugunguy · 11-03-2007, 12:59 AM

Seriously though, that has to be one of the cleanest

/nicest

trucks I've seen. I hope my turns out something like that when I get done, or if I get done.

Congrats on a job well done

moneyeater · 11-09-2007, 11:59 AM

Wow what a great truck!Super smooth!

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 11-09-2007, 01:14 PM

Very sweeeeeet, ouch! I think I have a toothache .... too much candy but worth it.

esll.

C10-Driver · 11-09-2007, 03:51 PM

Thanks guys. I wanted to build something that was super "clean" so a lot of time went into the engine compartment and other areas to hide things. When I first bought the truck I never expected for a minute that I would take it as far as I did but overall I'm happy with the way it turned out.

1sik7t2 · 11-09-2007, 04:21 PM

it's unanimous, WE ALL LOVE YOUR TRUCK the color, omg it's terrific very, very nice not a bad ride for a nuck' LOL KEEP IT UP

C10-Driver · 11-09-2007, 10:04 PM

Can't wait to see those pics bad6772. That silver mist pearl you mixed in should really make the color "pop" in the sun.
