80 c10 tow mater
Hello. I've been watching these boards for awhile now and I finally decided to chime in. My neighbor sold me this sweet deal for 1500. His wife forced him to sell because he has too many cars.
Its a 1980 C10. LT1 from 94 Camaro. powder coated everything. and a few other things that i'll be writing about later. this weekend, i ripped out the interior. tomorrow i'll be ripping out the 6 thats in there now. the plan is to move the body onto that chassis. i want to paint it the same color. my son has a tow mater (a character from the movie cars) and he wants me to keep it that same color. so thats the theme i'm going for.

Re: 80 c10 tow mater
thats a steal. That truck is gonna be sweet. seems to sit real high on its current frame. Digging the wheels and tires....
I like the color choice with the dark tint it really pops
