Ramhorns with an old pair of glass packs.

It has a nice deep rumble.

Jwill41 · 08-08-2003, 11:02 AM

lookin good!

Bill72BB · 08-08-2003, 11:04 AM

Randy ; Looks great ,I bet garage space is getting kinda slim around your place .

Like the new look : real Navy

dubie · 08-08-2003, 11:08 AM

Do you happen to know what length of glasspacks bud?

*Randy70C-10* · 08-08-2003, 11:14 AM

"Real Navy"

lol
Tim, I think they're 18", I'll measure them when I get home from work. Hmmmmm, sounds like a good excuse to leave early.

**CPNE** · 08-08-2003, 11:16 AM

I'd say spend the $$ on a haircut and forget the drop

GMC's just scream "work me, I'm a truck d@mn it!". Leave the lowering to those "sissy" Chevys.

*Randy70C-10* · 08-08-2003, 11:25 AM

LOL, maybe I'll just save my money. I'm not getting a hair cut.

haha
It does sit nice, and now that I think about it, if I lower it I won't be able to haul my big Harley in it. Hmmmm, maybe I'll put a bigger engine in it. A 502 would be the sh!t.

**CPNE** · 08-08-2003, 11:28 AM

Okay, keep the hair but don't fall prey to the lowering crowd. They all claim it's part of making it "their own" but how different is it if everyone's doing it? Just because one lemming jumps the cliff and everyone follows, doesn't mean you have too!

*Randy70C-10* · 08-08-2003, 11:32 AM

I'm afraid I've already jumped.

My stepside has been lowered 4 inches. My wife and I installed the new springs last night. (throw me a rope)

haha

**CPNE** · 08-08-2003, 11:36 AM

Yes I know, but I still have faith that you have some redeeming qualities and are able to learn from your "mistakes".

*Randy70C-10* · 08-08-2003, 11:47 AM

LOL, someone told me that stepside were mean't to be hotrods. I'll try to be good.

71-longbed · 08-08-2003, 02:19 PM

very sharp lookin truck randy .....any plans for it ..other than driving that sweet thang

pickupman · 08-08-2003, 04:08 PM

Randy, I am glad you are pleased with the truck. I don't remember it looking that good when it was here. LOL. Hey, it was nice meeting you and your family.
Bill

rambler · 08-08-2003, 05:09 PM

very nice truck!

*Randy70C-10* · 08-08-2003, 06:37 PM

Thanks guys! It was great to meet you too Bill. Thanks again for hooking me up with this truck. It cleaned up nicely, and "Nu Finish" does wonders.

Plans for it will be to just leave it as is for now. I'll eventually fix the small rust spots and re-paint it most likely the same color. It's really growing on me.

casey · 08-08-2003, 06:51 PM

Don't change your name to quick, I think the wifes got her eye one that one, Her and the young one photograph well with that truck LOL

*Randy70C-10* · 08-08-2003, 07:54 PM

Funny you should mention that, because actually the "C-10" is now hers. I'm still keeping the name though. I'd have alot of posting to catch up again.

fast71 · 08-08-2003, 11:11 PM

very nice ride!!!

casey · 08-09-2003, 11:08 AM

Hey Randy if you changed your name, and started with 0 post you wouldn't be trustworthy till you were back up to say 1000 posts or something. LMAO

*Randy70C-10* · 08-09-2003, 03:24 PM

Yeah, I'd be a stranger again for sure. We'd have to start another word game on the general discussion board. lol

dubie · 08-11-2003, 11:19 AM

did you get any engine and interior pics yet???

**JIMs70GMC** · 08-11-2003, 11:31 AM

Went and checked it out yesterday. It's a real nice truck and sounds good. Has a nice list of options too.

*Randy70C-10* · 08-11-2003, 11:47 AM

I'll get interior pics this afternoon (honest)

lol, I forgot about them.

Jim and I looked it over yesteray, and as far as we could tell it's all original.
