Most trends come and go.

I know one thing that will never go out of style and that is a slammed c10 2wd of any year. You can always remove parts like trim and mirrors and shave parts or leave it stock, but when you start adding exterior bolt on parts you are dealing with something that sooner or later will be going out of style (with the exception of sun visors and spot lights on old trucks). I have owned more than 10 pickups in the last 10 years and have removed 3 fiberglass shells, 1 old aluminum shell, 4 sets of mud flaps, 1 plastic bedliner, and 3 sets of huge aluminum running boards. I love buying old trucks with bolt on exterior parts because when I get home it gives me something to do and instant pleasure in seeing the vehicle transform into something I like more.

I know it is only my opinion but I have never seen one truck that looked better because it had a fiberglass sun visor, or 25 lights mounted all over it. If you want a bolt on part for function that is one thing but if you want it for style save your money and buy a set of speaker brackets from bigblock73. They will never go out of style.

why? Are you buying his truck?

pilzy1 · 08-20-2009, 04:51 PM

I dig the stance! The headliner is pretty awesome, you NEVER see anything like that in a car, very cool.

The bumper is no big deal, buy it and change it.

ratty 46 · 08-20-2009, 05:09 PM

I like the stance ...... the interior add ons & the rear tailgate trim ...... as for the bumper - its TEXAS & isn't everything bigger in Tx??

If you contemplating the purchase ..... I'd go for it - looks good.

i bought the truck all stock with a trashed interior, all the pics i posted are of the truck right before i sold it.

ratty 46 · 08-20-2009, 05:19 PM

Well ........ I'm sure the purchaser was happy with what he got - I would have been!!

Nice two-tone also. That brown is the color of my 78 steppy all over.

yea the old man bought it didnt know what to think on how low it was, he thought i was crazy. i took him for a ride in it and he couldnt believe how nice it rode.

ratty 46 · 08-20-2009, 05:32 PM

I'm gathering ideas & parts now ...... my 78 was bought from a nice old lady thats husband had passed 6 yrs. prior. It only has 89K miles & has been garaged since new. The glass is sooooo clear I can't stand it. I feel as if I'm in a fish bowl. It looks like the vent windows were never opened - no wind noise. It has late model add-on air & rides & drives super. I only need to add a lowering kit & a bigger set of skins.
As soon as my boy resizes pix I'll post them.
It also has a "classic" like new plaid tan interior.
