Just wanted to introduce myself.
Just wanted to say hi. I have been poking around the forums and really enjoy reading all the great write ups as well as seeing the progress on all these fantastic trucks. I have a few plans for mine, I just picked up a 72 C10 short box. I already have the ECE 4/6 drop kit on the way. I will see what happens from there. Anyways thank you for the great forum!
Here it is as I bought it. ![]()

Re: Just wanted to introduce myself.
Can you give better pictures of the front bumper and details. I really like the look of it. Thanks.

Re: Just wanted to introduce myself.
I have removed the "turbo emblem that the PO put on it. It sucks though, I think I lost 11 HP from removal.

Re: Just wanted to introduce myself.
The steering wheel didn't have a horn cover so I designed one myself to cut. I did design it after others I saw on the internet...
Here is the 3D model... ![]() And then I 3D printed it to see how it will look... ![]() Hopefully I can get this milled soon. And yes those are my feet! ![]()

Re: Just wanted to introduce myself.
I like the horn button idea! Looking forward to seeing progress.
BTW, the loss of hp will be easier to deal with than the poor aesthetics of an ugly emblem. ![]()
