1985 Chevy C10 Silverado restoration.

It has been a while. Since I have lurked on this forum, but I am back now. And want to show you the results of my 3 year project. I have brought this old girl back to life! (Not that she was ever dead.) Here are some before and after photos for you to enjoy. Thanks for looking.

That is one nice looking truck. Rallys and stock grille look 100% better.

Thanks, I hated that bent up billet grille since the day I got that truck. Other than changeing the rims to Rallyes, and painting, putting on a stock grille was one of the biggest cosmetic improvements I have ever made.

I like 2 tone as long as the top isn't painted the same color as the bottom. Mine was blue with this dark ugly gray on the bottom and top. What other plans have you got for it?

I plan on installing some headers, as well putting in a 700r4 transmission. As for cosmetics go I will probaly change my door panels, and instrument bezel with cleaner examples.

I am quite proud, it was worth the 3+ years, especially knowing many peoples projects take much longer.
