Newer member pictures - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Good afternoon to everyone! Moderators: If I posted this incorrectly, I'm new, so please take corrective action and place this in the appropriate area.

Thought I would post some pictures of my 69 Custom 10, since I finally got it back together after I joined the forum. I dropped the front 2", the rear 1.5", added 6 bolt disc brakes to the front, moved the exhaust to exit in the rear with bowtie tips, changed wheels to 10 fin Vectors, made a hidden ashtray cup holder, and refinished the oak bed. I have a few other laundry list items along with the "refresh" from the original restoration in 1998.

The last pictures are "before" pictures, the three top ones are "after" pictures.

This is a great forum for tons of information, and I'd like to thank everyone for tolerating another member and for the networking of these pickups!

firefighterchevy · 02-21-2015, 12:49 AM

Thanks for the compliments so far. I will post more pictures as I take them.

Here is some pictures of the cup holder, in open and closed positions, as well as one installed in a 4 speed pickup to show shifter clearance.

Instead of taking up space here with duplicate info, here is the link to follow my cup holder build:

nice truck, where did you get the cupholder?

firefighterchevy · 02-21-2015, 05:57 AM

Thanks. After hours of searching online and reading forums, I gave up finding the cup holder I wanted or plans for one, so I built it myself. I put a link in this forum, you can find my step by step instructions to build your own.

Nice truck! What else is in the garage? Just curious...

firefighterchevy · 02-22-2015, 09:08 PM

The current shop list: my 69 Chevy Custom 10, a 2014 Mustang GT 5.0, a 2006 Mustang GT, a 1998 Dodge Durango Kenne Bell supercharged 360 with 67,000 miles, a 1989 Mustang LX 25th anniversary convertible with 36,000 miles, a piece of crap 1960 Ford panel delivery, and a 1963 Ford Falcon 2 door Sprint awaiting restoration. Stock does rotate occasionally, depends on the project.

I finally got back to work on the pickup a little today. Here are some more pictures I took. Only thing i modified today was the radio antenna. It looked out of place at it's stock height, so I cut it down to cab height. I'll add some more pictures after it's cleaned up.

Finally got some pictures of it cleaned top to bottom. Threw a picture of the freshly refinished oak box in too. Thanks for the compliments everyone. I, as most of you folks on the site, am proud and happy to have this toy to enjoy.
