Nice.

Steve, there you are

, see if you notice anything different,

Steve I can't thank you enough it's better than expected, everything is coming together, the wife is painting the license plates and I just happened to have another cleaner set of identical chevy license frames in my collection, best of all Delmo is sending me a matching rear sports bumper as we speak to replace the Barden bumper (that practically jumped off by itself)

. BTW Steve don't tell anyone that I made you look at my photo album when I picked up the truck.

And don't forget to stop by the "C/10 Ranch" when you're in town!

I figured that was a given.

Welcome to this side of the tracks.

That has to be one of the cleanest original trucks I've seen.

Why Alan old buddy, now did you think I was kidding when I told you I wanted you to build me a truck last month like yours??? after your truck kicked my poor "Gumby's" butt in the ToTM contest last month.

What would I take from your 66' Joe? something like your 63' grill, your wheels, and your "Martinez" license Plate frame maybe?

Oh I almost forgot! I'd also would want your restored "Uncle Kevin Hernandez" tilt and steering wheel.

pestwagon · 05-10-2012, 04:54 AM

Man Rene, looks sooooo much better with the old bumper off. I could never find a painted (not chrome) rear bumper....hard to find item. Its gonna be a sweet truck.

Really glad you go t it. My arm is healing REAL quick too....Peace bro!

**ChiefRocka** · 05-10-2012, 10:13 AM

Awesome score !!

Wait....did I hear my buddy Dino is giving away a '63 grill ?

Thanks Steve, Del shipped the painted bumper yesterday so I should have it on tomorrow, plus Del is hooking me up with something else real nice for the truck!

Keep on healing and when you're ready we'll meet and take the wife's out for lunch.

Thanks Chief, I think this truck will look "Killer" with a 63' grill.

John Gilbert · 05-10-2012, 12:24 PM

Those aren't hard to find, i've got one broke down in my driveway... So that's what you call that powdery stuff on top of the rust huh? I think mines got more than yours.

Sorry, I'm in kind of a mean mood this morning. Maybe I'll email Street Trucks, and see the WTF happened to the C10 Get-together story I turned in.

Nice truck...

John, thanks for the complement on the truck, and who knows maybe the story will come out before the next C/10 Club Get-together,

Take care and give my regards to "Stinky Chavez"

Version 2 might be nicer.

Also might be done faster than the 5 years it took me to build this one.

Gumby was one of the one's that I was concerned about. Very nice!!
