Re: My 73 c10 project.....

that bike's frame is begging for that blue paint to match the truck...but you would have to make special brackets in the bed to carry it....that would be the icing on the cake

Re: My 73 c10 project.....

Looks good bro!!!

I have 1 question though from what I read nobody has asked but how do you move both of the trucks without scraping? because I know your working on getting the bags and stuff still set up right?

Sorry I just was looking at the picture and thinking I wonder how he doesn't scrap up the frame and what not while moving the truck around.

thanks....

is funny you asked that the neighbor next door asked me the same thing lol..... i have the front and rear bags in place and i have a piece of line hooked to each one of them to a T and ball valve on the center that hooks up right to my house compressor hose to inflate the bags is just a temp thing until i get all the air ride stuff in place. just for moving around purposes.

Haha that's funny, well I started thinking about it I was like he has to have it set up somehow, cause I know he's not scrapping that frame and paint up just to move it, and when I stopped trying to think of how you did it, my mind said just ask him, well so I did haha.

Re: My 73 c10 project.....

dude, i hope you dont accidentally cause wrecks...if a guy like me came driving down your road, i'd slam on brakes thinking there was a show going on i didnt know about!

line 'em up....lay them out....24/7....

i like the idea with the driveway...if you ever sell your house, the buyer can keep it like that or add grass back easily...good move
