Hey guys/gals I just signed up for this forum last week but have been following this website for a year now. I have been working on my truck for over a year now and just wanted to share some pictures with you guys to see what you thought. I have a full set of autometer gauges coming in and a complete gasket kit ordered as well. Beingactive duty military time is limited but its getting there....Cheers.....

gearys 5600 · 12-04-2011, 01:05 AM

Lookin good !!

**fakerwade** · 12-04-2011, 02:46 AM

Looks real good,,,,maybe tell us a little more about what you've done. (pictures don't always tell the whole story, ya know?)

robs_c10 · 12-04-2011, 03:54 AM

Well I original bought it to drive around and enjoy. Well I then decided to build the engine in it so she could be a beast on the streat. One thing lead to the next and it turned into a frame off restoration. Thing so far:
Rear suspension completely redone. Shocks, c-notch, lowering springs.
Cab was all rusted so I found this one for 300. Did the vin swap. Working on new seals.
Changed it from column to floor shift.
All new gauges
Going to do carpet
Have touched front end yet. But plan on spindles, springs, shocks.
Engine is a built 355 out of a 89 silverado. I called summit and told them what I wanted and they built a package which I have not yet drove on the street.
Don't know what else. Lately it's been deciding on things to do as I go and when I have money....

Did you replace the floor in the cab or is it just painted up nice?

robs_c10 · 12-04-2011, 06:28 PM

I had to replace the drivers side corner section.... Then painted it up nice...

Very nice, keep up the good work

**67cheby** · 12-05-2011, 11:39 AM

cool project , i like the wheels Boyd's ?

robs_c10 · 12-05-2011, 03:40 PM

Yeah their boyd's. Believe it or not they actually came with the truck. Favorite part of the truck. well for now. LOL

robs_c10 · 12-10-2011, 05:57 PM

Just got finished with painting the door. Not to bad for a spray can. I am finding out that painting in the winter time is a pain in the but. One quick trip to homedepot for a propane heater did the trick. However keeping the garage closed to paint is a high you dont need. So went back to homedepot and have a new respirator now which is awesome.

robs_c10 · 12-29-2011, 01:02 PM

Ok as I said in a different post I am on back order for some dang parts so I went on with what I had avaliable. Finished both doors except linkage, and windows "waiting on vent window gaskets", finished gauge bezel except "waiting on speedo", and now i am doing the heat shied/sound material. Man doing this is very time consuming but will be nice when I am finished. The work continues and I have carpet already but need to get it out of the box and get it in once I am finished with the shield.

robs_c10 · 12-29-2011, 01:04 PM

And the last set of pictures I have...More to come when I get the carpet in and other things completed as well.

808_67C10 · 12-29-2011, 03:17 PM

I like that black with the white face guages... looks sick!!!

robs_c10 · 12-29-2011, 05:21 PM

Thanks brother. I was hesitant about it at first but like the almost finished outcome.

I think I am gonna do the same thing... ha ha

I just realized you were in Hanford... I was at NAS Lemoore about 9-10 years ago...

robs_c10 · 01-05-2012, 07:02 PM

Do it up man. All those gauges plus speedo as you see it ran me 500 shipped through egauges.com which I thought was a smokin deal. Oh yeah I have been working on tht base since early 2000.

robs_c10 · 04-04-2012, 11:14 AM

Some updated pictures from my build. The bed is almost complete and ready to put back on frame. Just some other minor work underneath and then undercoat which is on its way. Then some other images from other side jobs I completed when it was too late around the neighborhood to be grinding.

robs_c10 · 04-04-2012, 11:16 AM

These fenders were cut for I would imagine some really big rims and tires. So I brought them back to factory look.

aussie67c10 · 04-26-2012, 10:57 AM

Looking good keep up the good work

Bromax · 04-27-2012, 10:14 PM

Agreed the gauges are ridiculously cool. good look.

robs_c10 · 04-28-2012, 12:42 AM

Thanks man... I can't wait to see them all working... Hopefully in a few weeks...
