Rio Rancho, NM 66 C-10 finished project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

66GTO66C10 · 05-18-2011, 07:54 PM

After 16 months my frame off resto project is done. It was an enjoyable project and the week I finished it, I put it in the Rio Rancho "Park N The Park" car show and took 2nd place in custom trucks 55-80 class. The competition was tough with close to 75 vehicles in that class. This truck was used in the rape scene in the movie "Suspect Zero" filmed here in Albuquerque. This is the finished product. Since I can only upload 5 photos at t time, I'll repost from the beginning next.
Thanks for looking.

This is what I started with.

66GTO66C10 · 05-18-2011, 08:04 PM

I made my own rotisserie

66GTO66C10 · 05-18-2011, 08:10 PM

My rolling chassis after sandblasting and complete rebuild.

66GTO66C10 · 05-18-2011, 08:14 PM

New floor pans, everything in Transtar epoxy primer sealer.

Great build!!!!

66GTO66C10 · 05-18-2011, 08:20 PM

Finally going together. FatMat sound deadener makes it nice and quiet.

66GTO66C10 · 05-18-2011, 08:24 PM

Body, bed, and door alignment.

66GTO66C10 · 05-18-2011, 08:33 PM

HID headlights, LED park, turn, brake, backup, interior lights. House of color Pavo Purple paint. Heavy silver base with metallic color shows a different color from every angle. The camera makes it look bluish, but it is purple.

beautiful truck! ( I wanna see more pics of the scooter!)

ralf · 05-18-2011, 08:37 PM

That is one great build! How do you find time to mow the grass?

66GTO66C10 · 05-18-2011, 10:35 PM

Thanks. I moved from Ohio 12 years ago. I do not miss cutting the grass. The first thing I did when I bought this house was zero-scape my entire yard. Sold the lawn mower, snow blower, weed wacker, and leaf rakes. Wind and dust is my enemy now.

trevota · 05-18-2011, 10:45 PM

wow awesome job, when can i drop off my truck for you to do? lol

markeb01 · 05-18-2011, 10:53 PM

Very nice. That's a lot of work in a relatively short amount of time. I hope enjoy driving it as much as building it.

**rideblue00** · 05-18-2011, 11:05 PM

Awesome! Its taken me 20 years to just get the cab floor fixed and in primer...lol. Im not too swift. Love the paint booth. I would like to do the same. As far as i can tell you really taxed your rotisserie with the frame on it. its saggin a little. Movie pics? Looks great!

66GTO66C10 · 05-19-2011, 12:08 AM

Thanks everyone. Yes the rotisserie was a little underpowered for such a long frame, but it lived through the process. It handled the bed and cab great. $300 in materials sure beats $1k and up to buy one that I may only use once or twice more.

jimmydean · 05-19-2011, 01:38 AM

Nice work! I wish I could turn mine out that fast.
