Chevguy7's C10 Winter Build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chevguy7 · 01-03-2008, 07:49 PM

I have had my truck for 4 years and am just starting to work on it. My parents bought the truck for me as a high school graduation present. I hope to have it done by mid spring. When it is done it will have front disc brakes, ECE drop components, headers, 2.5" dual exhaust, and rear gas tank. I am going to try and do most of the work myself and I am only 22. Here are a few pictures so far.

Good luck on the build... Be sure to keep us posted.

I haven't been doing a whole lot of work on the truck but here are a few update pictures of what has been done.

I bought a replacement passenger door a little over a month ago at one of our regional meets. The one that was on my truck is beyond what I want to do for repairs. Thanks to Ackattack, another member on here, for the door. I bought a set of ralley wheels this weekend for $200. They are in great condition with just a few scratches on the trim rings.

A few updates on my build. I got my drop kit from ECE a couple weeks ago and started tearing apart my front suspension and installing the new brake booster, master cylinder, and proportioning valve. Also started working on the drip rail to get rid of the rust there.

Looking good just keep plugging away at it and before you know it you'll be done.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 05-05-2008, 04:06 AM

Looking great keep up the hard work and before long itll be a sweet ride...

chevguy7 · 06-09-2008, 03:59 PM

I'm just about finished with the front suspension and brakes. I will post some pics of it tonight or tomorrow when I get a chance.

chevguy7 · 06-12-2008, 12:57 AM

Here are a couple updates. The whole front suspension is back together and the rotors are on.

chevguy7 · 06-23-2008, 07:57 PM

I am on vacation this week so I should be able to get a lot done on the truck. The front suspension is all back together. I started tearing apart the rear this morning and will post some pics soon.

chevguy7 · 06-27-2008, 04:04 PM

A couple of my buddies came over yesterday and helped me pull the bed off so I could get to a few things on the rear suspension a little better and also touch up the frame. All of the suspension is now done with a 3.5/5 drop from Early Classic. I also started filling in the drip rail yesterday.

chevguy7 · 06-27-2008, 04:06 PM

Pics of the drip rail.

Builds always seem to take longer than you think they will. I have not had any updates in a while so here are a few. The suspension is completedly done and I was able to drive it out of the garage last week. My primer came last week and the the base and clear came today. Paint should be this weekend. Here are some pictures.
