I should have spent more money on mine for big wheels, Wade your truck is just plain NASTY!!!

rwade · 01-05-2014, 01:45 AM

Thank you Ben. I love the way your truck is coming along, looks great! We have some friends in high point, NC, next time we go ill have to see if I can check it out in person.

Take care, Wade

Haha, on a serious note you have a beautiful truck!

rwade · 01-05-2014, 05:19 PM

Thank you. I appreciate it.

**GAc10boy** · 01-05-2014, 11:07 PM

Wow! Just seeing this. As a younger guy who got into trucks during the mini truckin phase (thank goodness I'm over that), I'm now a little older and appreciate the amazing stylistic cues of these "factory looking" trucks slammed on some big wheels. The trim, body lines, etc., on these trucks are just pure genius! Constantly amazed.

Such a killer looking truck! One of my favorites on the board.

rwade · 01-05-2014, 11:17 PM

Thank you so much. About 20 years ago I use to shave all the chrome, now I love it! Guess taste change, but I'm glad I came around! LOL!

That's exactly the way I was. Glad I've "grown up" a little.

69 blue coupe · 02-06-2014, 07:12 PM

Wow! I have a long way to go killer truck

69 blue coupe · 02-06-2014, 07:14 PM

Also how to go about getting 24 on the rear with a metal bed

rwade · 02-06-2014, 10:33 PM

I love your truck! Love the color, is the bottom green? Factory color? As far as the 24's on the rear with a steel floor, you'll have to cut it and make a metal bridge cover or raise the whole thing. I think the first option would be way easier at the point your at.

Wade

mud.man.rj · 02-06-2014, 10:42 PM

Killer truck, didn't expect it to be that nice of a setup with that wheel size, you did an amazing job.

rwade · 02-06-2014, 10:48 PM

Thank you, I appreciate it

Wade

mud.man.rj · 02-06-2014, 11:00 PM

What..it is us who appreciate that you shared with us, just love the rear width and tuck of those wheels. Thanks again.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the board (this is my first post) but have been poking around here for a few weeks. I got the itch to build another Hot Rod and it crossed my mind about doing a old skool C-10. I've always loved these trucks but have always built cars, so with that being said... I started searching to see what was out there and it led me to this site. I had an idea in my head about what I wanted to build then I ran across your truck Wade and all I can say is WOW!!! We are on the same page and have a lot of the same ideas for what a cool truck should be. Just wanted to say awesome truck and now I need to start searching for a truck...

69 blue coupe · 02-07-2014, 12:08 AM

Yea the bottom is green, it's the factory color green plan on having it painted back original green and white. Dude I can't stop looking at your truck you've really inspired me thanks!

big_al_71 · 02-07-2014, 07:32 AM

I just seen this thread for the first time and I am blown away as to how bad ass this truck is.

congrats!!!!! keep the pictures coming....

rwade · 02-09-2014, 12:57 AM

Thank you guys for all the compliments, I sincerely appreciate them. I've gotten a lot of ideas and inspiration from you guys as well.

King Cary · 02-15-2014, 12:55 AM

Hey Wade, do you have anymore pictures of your truck? Also do you have full exhaust to the rear of your truck, or did you run dumps farther up stream?

FRANKENSTEINC10 · 02-15-2014, 09:04 AM
