Re: Roadster Shop / Craftsman C-10 Muscle Truck Build
I love this truck! Killer plans for a quick build. Honestly, I wish Craftsman tools were still 100% American made but it's cool they sponsored this American made project.

Very impressive that Roadster Shop has become the size that it is in less than 10 years.

Very cool build, but I would paint it GM 503 light green... but I'm biased.

Re: Roadster Shop / Craftsman C-10 Muscle Truck Build
As promised, some more pics of the truck!

With chassis assembly coming together, we can begin the process of addressing the bed and cab.

With the assortment of Dynacorn panels and trim parts available, we have a nice, clean starting point to build upon.









With the new shortbed together, we create the opening in the bed floor to clearance the rear kickup and the cover panel.





New wheel tubs:

Great work. Looking good. Gotta say though, that tailgate needs to go. It cheapens the build. I know they're a sponsor, but come on now

I don't know that I would say it 'cheapens' the build, we did it to replicate the CHEVROLET letters normally stamped on the tailgate: not to create more/less visual impact...it will also be painted, not left bright metal like that...

I guess that's the cool thing about these trucks...everyone would do it differently!

Re: Roadster Shop / Craftsman C-10 Muscle Truck Build
...and time for some gratuitous chassis/motor pics. Hope that's ok with everyone...





The stealthy looking motor is courtesy of Don Hardy Race cars: LS3 based, 376c.i. making 550hp.
