First custom build 63 c10
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.
handmade solid tailgate,window to show off hydro. pumps. fenched plate (still need to make rollpan) Rounded bed corners fenched taillight into fender.And yes that is a 72 fender(it was on the truck when I got it) I'm thinking now of getting the correct fenders. raised floor, sunk fuel. 4 batteries each side sunk into floor and two hydo prmps in front of gate window

Re: First custom build 63 c10
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!

Re: First custom build 63 c10
Thanks It has taking a long time to even get this far. 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.
