Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Nice truck you have their sir. I wish I could find a C10 of that year group around here but it seems we are riddled with the K series. Nothing against them, I have a K30 that I want to build. After seeing all these cool lowered C10's I want to find one to build.

I will probably take the truck to the NSRA show in OKC in April.
That's if the weather cooperates this year.

Nice man. Im really checking out the interior pictures. If I do half of what your dad did my 78 will be totally acceptable for me. All I need is dash pad, door panels, carper or rubber dash guage panel etc oh, and new seat lol. But till then its a cool Rat Rod, right?

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
This was a fun project, glad I got to be part of it. Justin bought all the right parts and they all fit great. It was nice to work on a truck that was not all hacked up and destroyed by the previous owners. Justin always amazes me by making a perfect truck even better. I cant wait to see what he has for future plans on this truck.

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Thanks guys! I am happy with the way it turned out.

Just a few more small things then time to fire & tune.

Then a good detail cleaning.

It was a fun (yet cold) weekend... I have feeling back in my toes finally!

I love them! They fit nice, they adjusted out very easily, the hood fits as good or better as it did before & they are very smooth to open & close.

They also will allow you to have you hood open at different heights which was important to me too. I don't like my hood open fully at shows, I like it open more even with the top of the cab.
