Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Well Friday night I went to a local cruise that they have every friday. I made it home just in the nick of time before the stormy weekend rain started. Sunday there was a car show that I wanted to go to so saturday night I got the truck show ready. Wake up sunday morning and boy it was pouring all day so obviously the show was cancelled on the bright side now the truck has the cover on and is ready for the next show. here are some crappy cell pictures from the end result

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Ok, .. All you know you're my buddy, right ??

BUT --

Have you ever pictured this truck with a bright red interior? Say .. Red 71-72 buckets and a console with the billet cupholder insert? Or even custom leather buckets??

.. just a thought

you are my buddy...Not a bad idea at all but I am not doing anything else in the interior other than maybe re upholster the bench seat in black leather. There are some small things that I may change but this one truck is a wrap for now.


I am sure you seen the red interior of my old 65 el camino? I am a fan of red.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

drove the truck saturday to do a few errands and I snapped a couple of picts when I got home. It is such a pleasure to drive this truck after the air ride it rode good before but now it is even better. Many people have asked about the ride quality of bags, there is no doubt in my mind after having both that bags is the way to go.
