Dunno the exact color, but I picked it to look as close as I could to what it was before. It might be a bit more of a lighter blue, but not sure yet.

Reziel_1983 · 10-01-2013, 08:16 PM

Thanks, I think the color is actually the factory light blue color from the 73-80 trucks.

Chug · 10-15-2013, 08:02 AM

Here's my 82 lwb 350/350. Lowered 3/5 on 22x9.5. My dad bought it brand new and ran his lawn service out of it for 25 years! No major dents or rust anywhere on the truck!! I love it!!http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1381838273

Reziel_1983 · 10-17-2013, 04:10 PM

Thanks man, Brownwood is located pretty much in the center of Texas. About an hour's drive from Abilene. It's a smaller city.

Ahh okay reason I was asking this past weekend I was in a town called brownfield that was about an hr outside of Lubbock so I was wondering it if was maybe close to you.

Reziel_1983 · 10-19-2013, 02:10 PM

I know it's kind of sudden, but I have decided to trade the truck for a 98 trans am, so I'll have to end the build! Here are some pics of the car.

Chug · 10-19-2013, 03:04 PM

Oh nooo!!! Man!!! I hate to see the c10 go, but I'm sure you got a good deal...

Reziel_1983 · 09-10-2017, 06:41 PM

why the HELL did I trade this truck?? haha!

LT7A · 09-15-2017, 08:32 PM

I wondered that myself. You had just got it into a nice driver. Well, I also have a TA so no judgement here. Once you have a truck you always want one after that. Especially if you had a square, you always gotta have one. So buy a cheap one and start over.

LT7A · 09-15-2017, 08:37 PM

A question: I saw your tachometer in the early pictures. Was it installed with the pivoting arrangement? I.e. it moved back and forth with the auto-trans shifter?

Reziel_1983 · 09-06-2023, 11:08 PM

Been a long time since I've been on here. Lots happened since I was an idiot and got rid of this truck... graduated college, been working in IT for the past ~9 years, got married, bought a house, sold it, bought another one... and... tomorrow I'll FINALLY be getting another one of these trucks. I'm excited to start working on it! I'll take some pictures when I can.

Welcome back! Can never go to long without owning one. It truly is a C10 virus.

Reziel_1983 · 09-11-2023, 10:58 PM

Well I finally got the truck and took a picture of it. Maybe I'll start a build thread for it someday soon. It definitely needs a lot of work. For now, here it is.
