Love this truck. Gives me inspiration on mine.

Sorry if I missed it but what size rear tire are you running? I assumed I would go 4.11s in my t56 and never dreamed I would need 4.56s. Guess I need to do some research.

trkfrk · 03-20-2016, 11:54 PM

Loving my new gears! I have put almost 2,500 miles on the truck already without my interior done yet lol..

We're planing on going to the Brothers show in California July 10th, we can't wait. Hopefully have my interior done by then.

I haven't worked on the truck to much lately, but I have been able to get the garage back into shape. No more Home Depot chipping blue finish lol.

trkfrk · 03-20-2016, 11:58 PM

A lot of grinding

trkfrk · 03-21-2016, 12:04 AM

No color, just clear coat, Acrylic Urethane Sealer.

trkfrk · 03-21-2016, 12:11 AM

Still need to do second coat.

Hi.
Nice truck.

Sorry I missed you.. There were a lot of nice rides there. I plan on going Saturday.

Finished up the second coat on the garage floor this morning. I can't wait to get my truck back into the garage.

HARDCORECASH · 03-22-2016, 12:53 PM

Garage looks great!!! Where did you buy the clear coat from??? If the concrete is fairly new without any paint or stains could you get away with just pressure washing??? Or should you grind the surface no matter what??? My garage floor is only 2 1/2 years old. Thanks for the help.

I purchased all of the material from Concrete and Accesories here in Vegas. They specialize in concerte materials for contractors (industrial strength). I sanded the concrete down to expose the rock and to remove the blue Home Depot finish that was on the floor. The nice thing about grinding the floor was guaranteed removal of any stains/grease marks in the concrete.

Very nice work on the garage floor!

Nothing better than trucking to the Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show and hanging out with good friends. Truck ran amazing and did over 500 miles.

Still can't figure out how to post more than one pic at a time with iPad.

It was really cool to see so many C10's there. Everyone I met and talked to, were really cool. I'm really looking forward to the Brothers show July 10th. My goal is to have my interior finished by then.

trkfrk · 05-25-2016, 06:42 PM

Now the real fun begins. I still haven't decided if I'm going to go through the fire wall or kick panel with the hoses.

Very nice!

I like the kick panel idea too but I'm not sure how it's done....

**derotoreut** · 05-25-2016, 07:58 PM

Go through the kick panel so you can show me how you did it.

That's where I want to go through when I'm to that point. Good luck with it. Truck is looking awesome.
