Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver
Talk to a local body shop or look into your local body shop supply store. You can get them and put them on with a stud gun.

Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver
Hells yeah. They are porterbuilt. Thanks guys. The powder turned out good. I need to sell my suburban front clip. I unfortunately sold my spare bed, but I kept the cab. I'm still kicking around few ideas. I want a fuel injected setup, but don't have the cash for that yet. I have the gold one to tinker with and drive in the mean time.

Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver
Been collecting some parts. Trade my caddy rollpan for a blazer bumper, fenders and core support. Only thing left for me to get rid of is my 91 front clip. I've been trading and selling all my spare parts. I need to clean out my freaking garage, buy spindles, and start some more assembly.

Also got another pair of drop spindles and shocks. I used the last setup on the gold truck. I will fab up shock mounts as well.

Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver
Those seats look awesome. I wanted lowbacks like that but could never find any.

Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver
I have been watching these on Craigslist for a few months. They were a steal.. 350 bucks.

Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver
Got the console refurbished. It turned out respectable for a mid 30's year old plastic/ fiberglass mess.

Re: 75 C10 shortwide driver
Old hardware. New..
![]() Finished product. I wet sanded the entire thing with red scotch brite and soap. I did a lot of scraping as well. I painted the bowtie with the gold that the truck is getting painted. I also spent a bunch of time getting the excess paint off the metal trim piece. It looks good unless you look really close. I may look for a new one. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Posted via Mobile Device |
