Its been a while since I posted but wanted to show you guys how my truck is coming along. Its a 66 c-10, 2" Z'ed frame, 1.5" crossmember section, 3" drop spindles, monster notch in the rear, custom watts-link, and bagged at all four corners.

Here are some paint pics before clear coat

some frame pics

Still need to do a couple of things to the frame before the body goes back on. Hope you guys like it.

I think he better...looks good...someday I will have to put my truck under the knife and pimp the **** out of it....

How much lift @ the axle are you getting with the bags located where there at ??

I like the paint.... kinda looks like old-school LO LO patterns

DM310 · 09-10-2007, 11:21 PM

Thanks guys.... Yeah I still need to finish a couple of things and one of them was reinforcing the trailing arms. I also want to add some cross bars to the rear notch. I will take some new pics of the cab soon as it has the clear coat on it.

NF65Fleetside · 09-10-2007, 09:21 PM

was wondering when you were going to post here, love the way the frame came along, cant wait to see more pics of the body paint....those boys are gonna spray my ride when it gets to that stage.

David Flores · 09-10-2007, 09:24 PM

Paint isn't my taste, but still sick
