I tried to get a picture of every C10 I saw (good or bad). Here they are in no particular order.

The top was chopped and the door was cut almost in half and the lower half was welded up smooth.

ooooooooooo i was thinkin something like that lol looks good

dooce · 06-19-2009, 05:16 AM

I think the Ford is my favorite one. Got any more pics?

D13 · 06-19-2009, 05:44 AM

Well I appreciate the skill and work invloved, but none of these really fit my personality. The only ones of those that looks right are the red 71? and the last one (and that needs to be un-lowered). None of them would survive my daily commute. Gotta admit the dark silver/red caught my eye, but the wheels - no... can't have any inner fenders left, and gravel roads would destroy it.
I will be soo happy when the stupidly large wheel fad is over, and we can get back to trucks that look like trucks not confused cars.

This was great though, now I know I don't want a full width tube type grille. I do like the 88-91 fronts and I guess I'll have to get a couple more (I have 2 already but have more trucks than that...).

Thanks for the photos, always nice to see other's approaches.

silvereagle07 · 06-19-2009, 07:12 AM

Thanks for sharing the pics. Some of those trucks are awesome. I always enjoy seeing the old Chevys at carshow ans seeing all the work that goes into them.

JohnC · 06-19-2009, 08:43 AM

Yeah great looking pics. Looks like the show was a good one, and a good turn out of older trucks.

Oops, how did that get in there? There where a couple of nice old fords but not many.

menace121978 · 06-19-2009, 10:26 AM

wow thanks dv8customs! more to add to the collection. my 2 favorites are the 2 white ones. and the black primer w/ red interior and wheels. looks like a good showing... wish there was a show like that here.

smashingchuck · 06-19-2009, 11:03 AM

Some nice rides. The Ford is my favorite as well.

dv8customs · 06-19-2009, 11:04 AM

The black one wasn't just primer. I am not sure if it was paint with a flat clear or what but it had a hint of metal flake in it that I think was in the clear. I am kind of partial to the last white one myself but I think my favorite was the maroon one with the blower on it.

lbrtzmr · 06-19-2009, 03:27 PM

heres mine

80chevyshortbox · 06-19-2009, 03:55 PM

looks like there were lots of really nice trucks there. the nice ones im my opinion is the blue one and also the truck in the last pic. thanks for the pics.

dv8customs · 06-19-2009, 04:16 PM

For those that haven't seen my build thread, this is my truck...

nice truck man it looks great. i love your build thread, you are doing a great job on the truck i love the fenders.

glock35ipsc · 06-19-2009, 04:39 PM

Great pics! The blue 70 with a 67 front clip is a board members truck, I can't remember his name right off, but I have a TON of pics from his build thread saved on this computer. I drew a lot of inspiration from that build for my 68 build. It was also in an issue of Classic Trucks magazine.

JohnC · 06-19-2009, 04:40 PM

That's one thing I do like when someone lowers it that much is raise the entire bed floor. It looks cool man great job!!
