Just wrapping up my 67 C10 long bed. Last thing to ad next week is power steering..
What do you think?

Mmorgan32 · 10-02-2015, 12:52 AM

So sick. I love slammed long beds. In my opinion it needs to be low or lifted. What did you do to get it to sit like that low?

Codez67Chevy · 10-02-2015, 10:01 AM

That looks sweet. Nice job.

I'm not a fan of lowriders or wire wheels but that truck is really nice and I can appreciate the hard work and the blood sweat and tears that was required to get that truck that nice. Great job you should be commended. Jim

I was thinking almost the exact same.
Definite talent and design capabilities.
Looks very nice. You should be proud.
Have fun...don t. ....

I don't usually like long beds BUT that is one nice truck!

71swb4x4 · 10-04-2015, 10:32 AM

Big Kev-O · 10-05-2015, 11:33 AM

That looks evil!

Love that red paint and black wheels.

Davidf · 10-05-2015, 11:46 AM

Not my style/taste, but looks like some good quality work went into that truck. If you like it, that is all that matters.

cooperhw · 10-05-2015, 11:49 AM

I dig it. Looks great. Now enjoy.

**michael bustamante** · 10-05-2015, 01:31 PM

68 Stepper · 10-05-2015, 02:50 PM

I like your style, great work!

67ChevyRedneck · 10-05-2015, 02:55 PM

I like it.

I can't quite read what it says on the door... is it something in German?

Areohbe · 10-05-2015, 03:26 PM

As stated above, not a big fan of Daytons or other similar wheels, but your truck is an exception. I feel a kinship since I also have a long bed

67ChevyRedneck · 10-05-2015, 04:43 PM

Ah, I see it now, "Advantage" is the large script.

Areohbe · 10-05-2015, 07:52 PM

Hi there Guys,
Here is a bit about the truck. I did the standard 5 lug conversion with power disc brakes in front and drums in the rear. As for the stance i went with the guys at BCFAB for the the level 3 airbag kit. The guys there are really good to work with and are on it if you have any questions about the installation, which I did as I have never installed an air bag system. I usually go with static drops. I did use the C-notch kit from CPP and went with the CPP 2 1/2" drop spindles with all new tie rods and ball joints. I went with the level 3 system because I wanted to use the Accuair VU4 manifold along with the AVS 7 switch hand held controller. The wheels are 20" Dayton style knock offs. The truck is running a 350 with a mild cam and headers with a 700r4 trans.

I never really thought of myself as a lowrider as I have been just building them the way I want them to look. But If the shoe fits I shall wear it

Here is a couple others I have built in the past couple years.

Areohbe · 10-05-2015, 08:05 PM

Maybe this will work...

BCOWANWHEELS · 10-05-2015, 08:49 PM

rims and tires don't fit,nice body though.

Dave in Ozark · 10-05-2015, 10:35 PM

I like it a lot. I do not like the how far the rear wheels sit into the bed. Build thread?

Edit: maybe it is the angle but the third and fifth pic seem to show different gaps between the wheel and the bed
