It was the best of times...my 66 C10 interior transformation (lots-o-pics!) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BIG CTY · 07-18-2008, 11:20 PM

It was the WORST of times a couple weeks back, but the new tranny is in and I'm back on the road. What you are about to see took a total of three months. It shouldnt have taken that long, but the guy I had doing it is a ridiculous procrastinator and take on WAY to many projects at one time. But he's good, and his prices are phenominal. So I rolled with the punches.

Now to the purists, I could not care less about keeping my truck original. I have 2 all originial numbers/matching/protecto plate/window sticker cars (69 Impala and 70 Monte Carlo) so my truck is gonna be whatever I feel like doing to it. I like to have a mixture of old and new school, but I have ALOT of new now. This started as just a radio and 6x9's, but morphed into what you are about to see. I had some horrible racing seats in my truck before. I scored some FREE leather power seats from an 02 Accord to replace them. I'll go ahead and let the pics (before and after style) speak now!

There is a 10" subwoofer inside this armrest/console.

BIG CTY · 07-18-2008, 11:21 PM

Clear signal lenses, painted the letters yellow, new grill, bumper, headlights, HID's

No, I'm not a Steelers fan! I am however trying to stay with yellow, black, stainless/chrome, and tiny amounts of white. The system sounds fantastic, and I'm happy with how it turned out. Tell me what you think!

72BlckButy · 07-18-2008, 11:39 PM

Wow... you've done a lot of work lately! I like all of the mods.

The center console turned out great and I like the refreshed front end.

You know it! Just one though, a JL Audio W3. I was a non-believer in one 10" making any noise, but matted to an old school Rockford Fosgate Punch 200 that 10 is getting busy!

msgross · 07-19-2008, 09:44 PM

I agree, I have a single 10" Kicker solo-baric and it pounds like two 10's.

nice truck

Hoods69BadBowTie · 07-20-2008, 01:35 PM

Wow that looks great. It turned out awesome great work!

subalternnavert · 07-20-2008, 09:29 PM

That is sweet. Maybe I'll try something like that for mine.

JayG · 07-20-2008, 09:58 PM

Nice work!

get me on the road · 07-20-2008, 10:39 PM

Looks very nice! Are you going to put something where the keys dangle to protect the paint? I think if you taped off an area, like a small rectangle, and sprayed it with that bed liner in an aresol, it would look good. Just my 2 cents.

flyboy · 07-21-2008, 01:28 AM

I love the console and dash...great work!!!

Yeah, I need to address that. I usually dont have stuff dangling like that, but I got a keychain garage door opener and changed my locks on the house. Good suggestion, thanks!

**Yukon Jack** · 07-21-2008, 10:58 AM

Seats look awful comfy. I think the interior is very nice and the most important thing is it is just how you want it - that is all that is really important.

**slepysal** · 07-21-2008, 01:20 PM

CLEAN !!! Very well planed out !

Alan's Classic · 07-21-2008, 10:29 PM
