I was just looking through your pictures you posted yesterday man, I just laughed so hard cause your bed looks like mine, just got everything thrown in the back as if its storage compartment lol I had to clean mine, but it still has my seats and trim sitting in the back and some ramps, haha the beauty of owning a truck for me a long bed at that lol

thanks! and not getting the motor :waah: had a crap day at the parts house, I went to get the motor and ran into so many problems with picking it up it was ridiculous long story short they wanted like 300 more and i said no and asked for my money back but they wanted to work out a deal that ended with me spending more and so a little of this :m3: turned into this :m6::cuss::banghead:which ended with me doing this :m2::censored: and getting a supposed full refund that they couldn't give me today so tomorrow I have to drive back to town 30 miles for... It could have been worse though

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build

No I get burnt to easily when it comes to the truck, instead I will put the money into wheels and interior or bunch of other small stuff like euro lens covers or repainting engine bay, new drums or discs idk endless possibilities and keep doing everything else and save up money for another motor from somewhere else, maybe even get a nice built one with a bunch of goodies in it... gears are turning once again.

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
 

That sounds awesome!!!!!! Built motors are good motors of course!! Yeah I know the possibilities are endless best believe me I understand fully

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
 

its a 41 chevy pickup. but I added a vent window I saw one with it at a show once and It was a cool mod that broke up the glass and plainish door

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
 

Haha, yeah I always said that I wouldn't get addicted yeah I was wrong, there's still a few more I'd like to get. I still want to get a half sleeve, get another one on my chest, and and if I ever feel crazy enough I want to get done on my side.

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
 

Looks like a great project! would you mind if I steel the spare tire rig? I have an extra deep dish rally and it would look good in bed like that. Going to tarp bed but would look nice if someone looked in! Thanks for the idea!!!!!

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
 

:no: :lol: i do not care go for it man! and thanks for the kind words.

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
