Looking good. Did you use paint or vinyl for the door handles?

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

It's gloss black paint,same as grill,grill moldings and front bumper..thanks

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

truck looks great!!! what size are your tires?

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

They are the 15x7 rallys,tire size I honestly couldn't tell you..they are just on there for the rollers while being painted..I'm going with a black 20" mesh style wheel when I get it back..just waiting to get it back to get the measurements for the back spacing

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

thanks...im lookin to put whitewalls on my 15x8 rallys like you have...the black 20s are gona look sick

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

Killer build like the shaved look myself. How come you didn't shave the tail lights? And where did you get your phantom grill and do you like how it fits and looks I want to buy one like that

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

thamks man!..I like the shaved look also,i just wanted to keep the handles and taillights factory..i bought the grill off amazon,surprisingly the grill fits awesome..

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

What kit is that and how much that cost?

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

I bought it used for $750..it is a kb racing hot side for the 99-11 trucks..the guy I bought it from said that I'd have go notch the frame for the down pipe..but it clears find with out notching..

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

That is an awesome price on that turbo, and your truck is looking killer!! Are you going to run a carb?

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

Thanks..That was just for the hot side of the turbo kit,not including turbo...I'm not going carb,I'm leaving it fuel injected

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

More parts came in,I also bought new inner fenders and had them sprayed black

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

Looks super mean!

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

If you don't mind me asking did you just weld those holes up where trim used to be because mine was missing trim when I bought it and I want close them up the right way but without a lot of filler or fiberglass. Thanks and truck looks sweet btw nice job man.

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

Very good job. Looking really nice

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

Such a cool looking truck.

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

Yea I just welded the holes up from the trim screws...thanks for the compliments guys,I'm ready to get this thing atleast fired up soon...

Here are a few pics of intercooler/radiator mock up..im still up in the air on painting the intercooler black..there will also be a big trans cooler in front of the IC..that will be black to if I go that route..I think if I don't paint them they will stick out like a sore thumb behind the black grill..

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

IMO in no way is an intercooler a "sore thumb" lol. your truck is awesome. Maybe its kind of ricer but I like the way my transmission cooler looks behind the grill. I even get compliments.

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

looks badass!!! how does the crossover pipe fit from the pass side header to the manifold and how much ground clearance is any pics of it?

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

Motor and trans are in for the last time!..

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

It's been awhile since I've posted on here...I've been real busy,the truck has came a long way..there has been a lot of changes.. Here is a video of how it sits now..the rear diff is out getting built at the moment.
