Your GMC is definitely going to be nice.
You guys coming to Kansas Goodguys this year?
It's only a week away,...

Actually this year we are not going to KC.. We are going to check out the Relaxed Atmosphere All Star Event.. KC was a GREAT show and we will miss it, especially Oklahoma Joes Ribs! but we are all truck guys here and want to check out the All Star deal..

Yeah,... I wish both shows weren't on the same date.
Kansas Speedway is so close for us,... that we hate to miss it.

I can't believe nobody commented on the camaro with the MONSTER ProCharger...

Yea I spotted it, but was too busy hatin' to comment

...what's the yellow super car, a Noble? Very cool shop.

Been hammering away on the truck... I mounted the S10 brake booster and brake pedal, I used the original pedal pad so it didn't look exactly a S10 pedal... I also modified the S10 gas pedal and mounted it.. I will change the pedal pad to fit the look of the truck.. The 32" Lokar shifter is in, I just have to close off the tunnel where I cut it to clear the trans.. I made a mount for the ECM and mounted it to the right side of the firewall... Late last night I fabbed up some running board mounts and got the right board hanging.. My goal is to get the bed on this weekend and start wiring and plumbing.. I am waiting for my steering column to get here too so I get get the steering checked off the list..

Alan's Classic · 08-26-2011, 08:01 AM

Is the steering wheel going to stay that close to the dash permanently? Not criticizing, just curious...

No No No... I am using a aftermarket hot rod column... Thats just to push it around..

**LEEVON** · 08-26-2011, 04:14 PM

Damn. 6 days and you're about to drive the truck. Thanks for making us all feel completely helpless!!!

Nice ride. I've been checking the thread all along hoping you'd be back.

65Pickup · 08-27-2011, 02:16 AM

What's the story on the radio, factory original?? The radio plate looks very cool.

jeep534 · 08-27-2011, 09:04 AM

I was wondering if you had to raise the floor of the bed to clear the structuture for the air bags.... really cool truck

entourageguy · 08-29-2011, 05:49 PM

Very nice !

Layedoutsonoma91 · 08-29-2011, 05:54 PM

Do the running boards lay flat on the ground? Did you sink the cab into them any? And any more pictures of your body mounts? I am in that stage of my build now and i want to get mine laying the running boards. I have a bagged frame ready to go. Your truck is amazing! It is exactly what I want!! Awesome job!

Thanks my man.. Running boards are about an inch off the ground. The back of the front fenders are flat on the ground.. The rear can still come down a little from where its at in the pics.. I will get some mount pics next time I have it on the rack.. I hardly have any money in the swap.. Not worth buying the kits they sell if you can weld..

texas56 · 08-30-2011, 07:29 PM

lookin good!

c10addict · 09-07-2011, 02:22 PM

Had a minor set back.. Programmer did not remove the VATS out of my computer so the truck starts runs for two seconds and shuts off.. Sent the computer back this morning.. If it wasn't for this I would be driving the truck by now! I am leaving this afternoon for vacation at Lake Hartwell GA then straight to Indy Goodguys.. Hopefully when I get back it will be ready to rock and roll! Stay tuned..

Alan's Classic · 09-07-2011, 02:32 PM

That sucks about the computer. Is lake hartwell as far south as your going? If you head thru Ball Ground let me know. I'm about an hour due north of Atlanta on I-575 just 10 minutes south of Jasper. Have a great time.

Maybe next time.

It is hard to pass them up. I wish I had more property and money I'd buy them all.

I had to stop searching CL because I'd see so many I want.
