Thanks guys!
I am very happy with the way the wheels look on the truck.
I looked at several other wheels choices but kept coming back to the Vintecs. I think the wheel fits the style of the truck perfectly.

What size rims and tires are you running? Not sure if you said it and I just missed it.

JWall · 11-13-2013, 12:48 PM

Wheel/Tire Specs are:

Billet Specialties Vintecs with Nitto NT555 Tires
Front: 20x8.5 with 5.25 backspacing with 255/35/20
Rear: 20x10 with 5.5 backspacing with 275/35/20

Nice truck you have their sir. I wish I could find a C10 of that year group around here but it seems we are riddled with the K series. Nothing against them, I have a K30 that I want to build. After seeing all these cool lowered C10's I want to find one to build.

Preview of parts I compiled for the winter to do list...

I will probably take the truck to the NSRA show in OKC in April.
That's if the weather cooperates this year.

Beautiful! Just outstanding!

bigpetie · 11-30-2013, 04:14 PM

Beautiful! TRUCK !

Bennett68C10 · 12-05-2013, 06:43 AM

Beautiful truck, wheels look great on there. Love the color too

Old School Low · 12-05-2013, 02:39 PM

Nice man. Im really checking out the interior pictures. If I do half of what your dad did my 78 will be totally acceptable for me. All I need is dash pad, door panels, carper or rubber dash guage panel etc oh, and new seat lol. But till then its a cool Rat Rod, right?

Nice Pics!!

Looks great

Low Elco · 12-09-2013, 09:16 AM

Just gorgeous. Beautiful work!

LOW1TON · 12-09-2013, 09:43 AM

This was a fun project, glad I got to be part of it. Justin bought all the right parts and they all fit great. It was nice to work on a truck that was not all hacked up and destroyed by the previous owners. Justin always amazes me by making a perfect truck even better. I cant wait to see what he has for future plans on this truck.

JWall · 12-09-2013, 05:55 PM

Thanks guys! I am happy with the way it turned out.

Just a few more small things then time to fire & tune.

Then a good detail cleaning.

Thanks Jack!
It was a fun (yet cold) weekend... I have feeling back in my toes finally!

JWall · 12-15-2013, 05:10 PM

Got the truck finished up & home.
Still a few small things I want to do but I am very pleased with how it turned out.
Thanks again to LOW1TON & REDRAT!

How do you like the hinges?

I love them! They fit nice, they adjusted out very easily, the hood fits as good or better as it did before & they are very smooth to open & close.

They also will allow you to have you hood open at different heights which was important to me too. I don't like my hood open fully at shows, I like it open more even with the top of the cab.

baclay9 · 12-15-2013, 05:23 PM

Look really good man. They are proud of them but they sure are nice. Get what you pay for. Engine looks great too!
