First custom build 63 c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Lemondrop63 · 08-23-2007, 06:45 AM

This is my first custom build. I haven't worked on it for over a year. (car accident), but I'm back on it again. The truck was a lowrider with hydraulics, it was a 30/30 truck (looks good from 30 ft. @30mph). so I thought I'd redo it, but somewhere it turned into a full custom build. But now I'm thinking air bags with 20" rear and 18" front wheels. Let me know what you think.

Welcome !!!

I really like the hydros. And yes all hardline. I have a close friend, that does alot of custom hardline apps. He's (Mr. Hardline) been in several magazines, he wants to actuality wants to build custom pumps too.

layinrocker65 · 08-24-2007, 03:09 PM

yep thats it. I started to notice a bondo crack in the bottom of one of the doors. thats what started all of this. I found (no joke) bondo up to 3/4 thick in several places. I asked the guy I bought it from, he admitted to using several gal of bondo and seven gals of urafill primer. But I bought the truck just like you see it here with 2 pro hopper pumps,wheels, 283 bored 060 over new exhaust, front power disc brakes, ididit tilt steering, tube a arms, chromed engine, everything but 4 batteries for the hydos and a finished interior for $1000 NO CRAP!

Stepside65 · 08-24-2007, 06:51 PM

Gonna be an awesome truck when you're done. Keep up the good work man.

hewlett2002000 · 08-24-2007, 07:11 PM

The doors are taking forever. to get them to tuck into the cab,I had to cut off the front and back of each door, then the front of the drivers door went to the back of the passenger door adn the back drivers went to front passengers door. Then I had to do the same for the cab. It's alot of fab, but it's different than most others.

Lemondrop63 · 09-07-2007, 06:54 AM

I hate to be a cheap ass ,but does anyone have a set of beat up correct stepside fenders. I'm going to slightly mod them anyway.

laidout · 09-07-2007, 09:51 PM

if you find fenders what would you want for the fenders you have they would look sweet on my dads 72

72BlckButy · 09-07-2007, 11:17 PM
