Yes, what'd you use to remove it?

A couple of shots from the drop member...

NorCal · 10-12-2015, 02:06 PM

...and the notch got worked on over the weekend as well. I'll try and get back here and update it more often. Slowly but surely... placed the back wheels to see how it's going to look.

Color looks almost exactly like yours, could be? I'll have to check...

I'm curious to know what it is. Mine just says special order fleet colour. No paint code. But it looks a lot like yours. I'm trying to find out what my code would be, pretty sure it's the 505 but not 100% sure.

Looking awesome! I'm actually quite jealous. I wish I had the stones to cut mine up.

mcmlxix · 10-16-2015, 06:53 AM

What are the specs on the wheels and who makes them?

bk04z66 · 10-17-2015, 03:21 PM

Lookin good, more info on the wheels, do they have nubs that will fit original Hub caps?

smbrouss70 · 07-11-2016, 12:53 PM

Looks like you have some updates to fill us in on!

NorCal · 02-15-2017, 12:06 PM

Just updating this thread... Modern Vintage Systems harness, Boyd Welding fuel tank, Kev's Classics column, Dakota Digital gauges

NorCal · 02-15-2017, 12:19 PM

A few photos from last summer. Did a small event with JohnyG and a bunch of other C10 Club guys, then it was at the Brothers show... then pretty much went into hibernation until recently.

NorCal · 02-15-2017, 12:22 PM

Recently decided to jump back into it and give it a facelift, i'm just too fond of that '67 front end... goodbye to the '71/'72 grille and goodbye to the green patina and the "Tortuga" nickname given by Ronnie (c10talk)

1971 GMC Jimmy 2wd · 02-15-2017, 07:28 PM

Did you have to raise the bed at all to make the porterbilt and accuser fit and work?

Chulisohombre · 02-16-2017, 07:57 PM

LOoks crazy. Looks to be a lot of chop in the bed to get things to fit.

mcmlxix · 02-17-2017, 07:11 AM

You never said who makes the wheels and what the specs were...
