Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I know your truck, seen it here before and on instagram, but this is the first time I've gone through your entire build thread. In short, wow! Awesome truck, and awesome incremental progress with details along the way to get it there. This is a top notch build thread and build.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Chris I made a round trip to check it out today but I did have to work on the GTO as well. Man you realize the last time I saw your truck was before you went out west at the RR streetrods show in Bossier, a really long time ago. I've seen you but not the truck since then. Wow it's come a long way. It's in good hands now. Wish you were here today.

![]() We worked on the GTO & Ratchet's Blazer, all while waiting for various coats of primer or paint to dry. Can't leave out my wonderful wife Brandi either, she kept us fed (very well!) and supplied with beer so that we could keep going without stopping. We were multi-tasking like I've never seen before! I just haven't had time to post up pictures.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
It's gonna be too nice to drive, Chris.
I especially love the way you made the LS look retro. The air cleaner is the cherry on top.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Yeah the engine bay is looking real good, great job for sure, but that defrost vent is killing me gringo.....
![]() Curious, do you have a clamp for your e-brake cable so it doesn't mar up your pretty new inner fender? Seriously guys, great job, that HRF never looked so good. ![]() ![]()

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
All back together, just needs the A/C charged, a couple of wires connected, and to change out an O2 sensor that crapped out. Oh yeah, she needs a bath too, but it'll probably be driving in the rain leaving my house, so I'll clean it up once we get there. So who's coming out to Lebanon, TN this weekend for the Southeastern Truck Nationals to see Gringo's famous truck for it's first big show appearance?
