Hirohata c10? What do you think? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sergioperez · 02-24-2010, 10:12 AM

Thinking on a Custom style c10..... Chopped top, Cadillac sombrero´s, Slammed... maybe an ultimate cruiser...

jchav62 · 02-24-2010, 11:47 AM

Welcome!

Sounds like a great plan... cool pic...

66coffin · 02-24-2010, 11:53 AM

looks killer like that, i also want to run painted caps (call me crazy) i think they are cool and different! nice stance on that too..... do it!! oh ya, post a build thread.

61TWUK · 02-24-2010, 12:07 PM

I like it... but its also a BBW 61' so that helps!!! haha

Welcome to the forums from Kansas City, KS. Keep us posted on your project.

Welcome from the inland Northwest. You've got my vote, that is a killer concept. I've thought about an early Corvette style cove on the side of mine. It's a stepside so the Buick trim wouldn't work, but it sure looks great on a fleetside. That chop looks perfect. Is it real, or a photoshop effort?

sergioperez · 02-24-2010, 08:07 PM

Thanks for the welcome! Maybe a 2 or 3 years project ( on a budget!! ) Yeap markeb01 it´s actually a 20 minutes of Corel Photo Paint work. Planning on a modified chassis ( not air bags ) 235 inline 6, three on the tree, nothing special about the trans/engine combo, 15 x 7 steelies with cadillac sombrero hubcaps and 205/70/15 wide white walls, 59/60 chevrolet dash and steering wheel and many more i think...

sergioperez · 02-24-2010, 08:09 PM

By the way, do you have any pics of 60-66 Kustom style trucks? Thanks!

glendale · 02-24-2010, 08:14 PM

Great idea... cool theme. Do It!

Dinos63 · 02-27-2010, 11:14 AM

Duuude soo sic!!!

**N2TRUX** · 02-27-2010, 11:38 AM

I don't really like it because I love the stock lines. With that said, I think it needs lakes and skirts to pull it off...

sergioperez · 02-27-2010, 04:25 PM

Thanks guys!

Thank you Dinos for let me use your picture!

Jonz that ´s a really extreme ride! Such a body work!!

N2trux maybe you´re right with the fender skirts!! The exhaust is going to be behind the front wheel

Thanks again!

jonzcustomshop · 02-27-2010, 05:27 PM

the skirts make it look more like the hirohata... now you need a slight taildragger stance to the rear...not much, maybe just an inch or two.

jonzcustomshop · 02-27-2010, 05:31 PM

...

sergioperez · 02-27-2010, 06:13 PM

Yep! the tail must be lower...

chevytrucknut · 02-27-2010, 06:54 PM

I like them both, but I vote for the first pic. Welcome to the group.

**Corts60** · 02-27-2010, 10:42 PM

I totally dig the first pic! Welcome from Astoria!

astrochimp · 02-28-2010, 05:38 PM

More black to cover part of the fender skirt?

Yeah, not thats more like it. You talking Fenton style cut outs in the front wheel well or....?

sergioperez · 02-28-2010, 10:32 PM

Astrochimp - Something like this?

N2trux - I really love this kind of exhaust, don´t know how this style is called...

Yesterday I´d bought a set of 63-64 cadillac hubcaps , I know they´re not sombrero´s but it´s almost impossible to find them here in Argentina. Next week I´ll be buying the 59-60 chevrolet dash ( if the owner wants to, not sure ). I already have the gauges. I must find a newer chassis because the original is in really bad shape and by the other hand I don´t like torsion bar system...
And then, I will have to start repairing it...

Thanks again everybody!

Oh I forgot, what about appletons?
