I deleted my other thread that had this truck in it, and created its own. It is my 1968 C10 truck that i bought as a project for my dad and me wile I was in Iraq in 2006.
When I bought it off eBay
Last time I was in Kentucky
Right now, the outside is painted with a base coat black and no clear, and then the pinstriping is done in red. It has a '69 doghouse on it, but I put a '72 all chrome grille and billet insert on it. The wheels are staggered camaro rallyes (15x8's in the rear, 15x7's in the front) that have been powdercoated, added a beauty ring and a chrome center cap to them. My pops also put a brand new suspension from Southern KY Classics under it including a disc brake conversion, new shocks, springs, and drop spindles. The trucks has been lowered 5" all around. It was the lowest we could go without having to notch the frame. I bought the Sir Micheal's roll pan and tailgate skin for it, and we have yet to replace the tailgate, but the pan is on. The powerplant is an LS1 and 4L60E with a 12 bolt rear and 3:73 gears. Exhaust is 3" custom into Magnaflow stage II mufflers. Intake is from a 2001 Chevy Silverado. Computer and harness were redone by Howell Engineering.
Here are some before and after pics. The truck is no where near finished, but is on the back burner until I get the Ranger finished and I move back home. (August '11)
