Re: Owen's C10
good lord that is going to look sick! This is my favorite build to watch right now. And I agree about the ease of steel wheels. I switched from polishing aluminum wheels to wiping off steel wheels about 5 years ago and will never go back! Front cap looks great too after CLR, but I'd be curious to see what the truck looks like with the correct year caps. Any reason you're going with these instead? Keep up the good work. I think this truck will be big when it's done.

Re: Owen's C10
Moose your truck is coming along nicely. It will be one hell of a cruiser when she's done! Nice progress!

Re: Owen's C10
Moose, I gotta be honest with ya. When I saw the truck you were starting with, never expected you to have the ability to do the things you've done. Why did you even spend the initial 100 dollars, you could have just as easily got to the same point starting with an old thrown out in the street metal wire bird cage. Incredible workmanship dude.

Re: Owen's C10
i can't believe i've missed this build thread until now. just read every post. WOW! i have a soft spot for 67 dark aqua poly. thanks for all the great pics along the way. i had a 67 with original 511 dark aqua. i spent a lot of intimate hours buffing with clr. and i have to say you have recreated the black primer fade extremely well. nicely done!!
i was also wondering if you had considered 67 caps. although the red ring wouldn't quite match, and the blue bowties sure look nice.

Re: Owen's C10
heavy a.f.! the rear tires are 42 lbs, the wheels are heavier still, I'm guessing 50-60lbs

Re: Owen's C10
The ol' farmtruck took a brief peek outside while I cleaned up the shop. Still waiting on the axles to show up, I also upgraded to 30 spline axles so now I need a new carrier...hope to have a rolling chassis soon.

Re: Owen's C10
took my two new rear tubs and made them into one...now I need two more. I may chop some out of the height of them once I figure out the floor height.. the gas mig is so much better!
