I noticed the slant of the rear tailgate and love the fact that he didn't mold it shut. Fit and finish is outstanding.

OARNGESI · 07-14-2009, 05:55 AM

I really like this one especially the dash

prostreetC-10 · 07-14-2009, 09:57 AM

I'll also add that I think that is the most perfect chop job on the cab. Can't believe know no has mentioned that. Seems like most people think they must take a bunch of inches off since they are going to the trouble. This is maybe 1-2 inches at the most. Looks like he took it out of the bottom of the cab and just brought the window down. Super nice. I just walked out and looked at my truck in the garage........yes I would trade him straight up!!!!! lol

**lks dcvn** · 07-14-2009, 10:10 AM

I saw this one at the Goodguys show over the weekend...I kept walking around it and noticing all the little things that added up to a very nice ride.

Agree on the top...the drip rails were shaved and it was a clean ride.

I found the front grill interesting as well - I kept trying to figure out if I liked the look or not - I got a shot of it close up on the camera at home...yes - I keep forgetting to post them.

pix of the build...

**lks dcvn** · 07-14-2009, 10:18 AM

few more...

Slick67 · 07-14-2009, 11:37 AM

The bed is not aligned with the cab, is it missing some mounting rubber??? Awesome build, true craftsmanship!!!!!

m6z · 07-14-2009, 03:46 PM

I really like the gas filler.

oldblue1968chevy · 07-14-2009, 04:09 PM

man i like the solid bumper..

67ChevyRedneck · 07-14-2009, 04:22 PM

WOW! I'd be proud of that!!!

I have to admit that this is probably the only chopped top 67-72 that I've actually thought the chop looked good on.

Just have to toss in that I don't like the wheel choice at all either, but love the rest of it!

arm51 · 07-14-2009, 04:32 PM

I LOVE THAT TRUCK think it would marry me lol

on a serious note that dash is the really nice

Actually...if you look at the pic where he is actually driving it, the bed is perfectly aligned. It's when he is laying frame that something must flex a bit. Isn't it funny how something can be so beautiful and yet each of other have little things about it we don't like? It's called "taste" and for each of us it's a little different. That is what's sooooo cool about these trucks. They give us an incredible canvas to paint our own picture!!!

**N2TRUX** · 07-14-2009, 08:30 PM

With out being negative in any way, lets see how many mods have been done. What I see at a glance from front to back-

Front bumper- Bolts shaved, sucked in and trimmed up.
Headlights- Bezel shaved, light recessed
Sidemarker- Shaved
Cowl-Filled
Windshield-Glass flush fit, posts laid back
Roof- Crown sectioned
Cab-B pillar leaned forward, top chopped
Door- Handle/lock shaved, one piece glass
Gas filler-Shaved
Bed- Floor/wheel wells raised, Tailgate laid forward
Rear Bumper- Shaved, license plate recess filled, sucked in and trimmed up
Tail lights- Flushed
Tailgate- Smoothed, license plate bucket added.

OK, so what did I miss?

The front bed panel has what looks like the inside skin from a tailgate vs. the bed panel (the recessed area looks very similar like a tailgate vs. the front bed panel).
Rear bumper has the 'gravel shield' area as a continuation of the bumper vs. separate pieces.
Dash (obviously not stock).

chevjayfsd · 07-14-2009, 08:38 PM

I love it... Lots of nice subtleties... It wouldn't be the first thing I would do, but if I had a second truck, I wouldn't mind it!

**N2TRUX** · 07-14-2009, 08:44 PM

Oh, and I forgot to mention the side molding. I can't see it clear enough, but it looks like something is going on there too.

hchad18 · 07-14-2009, 09:03 PM

I can appreciate the work that's put into it. Its a nice truck.

1956cameo · 07-14-2009, 09:21 PM

Phenomenal craftsmanship! Definately the most original 67-72 custom job I have seen in a very long time.

I checked out the rest of his pics on Hub Garage and it also looks as if maybe the bed floor and inner fenders are from an 88-98?

Gorgeous truck!
Really diggin' the canted b-pillar treatment and tailgate/reared. Really lend to a feeling of motion while the truck is standing still.

Definately needs to be more trucks like this!!!

I think it's been lowered a little bit. Also I'm pretty sure those wheels aren't stock...

I had to do a double take to see if it had burb tail light lenses. Lots of time put into it!

heavy71chevy · 07-15-2009, 06:57 AM

its not my kinda look for a c-10 but a thumbsup for the fab work...The angles remind me of an elcamino for some reason
