Here's my GMC/S10 build - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sgtusmc · 12-08-2008, 03:30 PM

I ordered some door panels from Roddoor last week (they should be in today) so I took my doors off so my son could paint them. I cut out the stencil and he painted and wet sanded them. Not to bad for an eight year old. Here's the outcome.

Those doors are just awesome.

Tell the little guy job well done.

sgtusmc · 12-10-2008, 01:12 AM

I got my door panels yesterday from Rod Doors. I havn't installed them yet because I'm going with power windows (they havn't come in yet). I also want to move the door handles to another spot because there design insert is right on top of both the window and door handles. I thought I share picks of them straight out the box. They are a little pricy but well worth it. I'll buy them again if I ever build another truck.

Lookin Good!

Q-BALL · 12-10-2008, 01:08 PM

thank you for an informative build write up ....lots of good ideas shared ....thanks again

sgtusmc · 01-06-2009, 02:35 PM

I buffed out my white wall tires that came with the s10 I bought. However, 2 of the tires had wider white walls than the others. I had some white wall paint I bought on ebay a while back and decided to give it a shot. I buffed out the letters on the black wall and painted away. Now I have three more to go. We plan on buy'n some new wheels for it, so these will be our stocks.

50adrod · 01-06-2009, 03:14 PM

I allways wondered how those panels were made, I wish they made more styles for our trucks. I like those but see them a lot. I may use them anyway.

how are they attached to the door? do they have clips on the back side?

BIG CHEVY 3600 · 01-06-2009, 07:11 PM

All this in 6 months? Do you ever sleep????

sgtusmc · 01-06-2009, 07:49 PM

Hey Big Chevy, I'll catch up on sleep when I die. I wouldn't have gotten this far this quick if it weren't for my son bugging every day about the finish date on his truck. I use the build for therapy too, when I get flashbacks from Iraq. I go out to the garage and find something to do on my boy's truck. Helps to be alone out in the garage sometimes.

BIG CHEVY 3600 · 01-06-2009, 08:10 PM

My son and I are also working on HIS truck. He's in college so I don't get the pressure but the escape to the garage is great therapy too.

You are not the only one who uses it for therapy and stress relief. I have a Valvoline poster in my garage, shows a pair of legs under a 70 SS Chevelle with the text "Some people have shrinks, I have my garage". BTW thanks for your service.

I love the military theme to this build. Thank you for what you did for our country an God Bless America!

I also like that you and your son are involved in this together. What a great dad!

sgtusmc · 01-13-2009, 10:10 PM

Here's a pic I took yesterday. I was gonna wet sand my running boards but it was to cold, I think it was in the 60's...LOL

junkman1jmc · 01-13-2009, 10:14 PM

that looks really good . i hope mine turns out that good

68chevy68 · 01-14-2009, 12:19 AM

Semper fi, Do or Die, OOORAAHHHHH!. I like it. 60's!!!! I miss Cali. It has been nice here in Arkansas though. This has been one mild winter so far knock on wood.

Daniel U · 01-15-2009, 12:33 PM

When are you cruising my way? It was in the 80's this week over here!

sgtusmc · 01-15-2009, 02:02 PM

Daniel, we were thinking of shoting down to Pismo this weekend and letting my little guy tear up the dunes on his dirtbike. I don't think I'm ready to get the GMC that far from the garage thou. I still have alot of wire'n and bolts to torque down. Hopefully by summer I'll have it closer to being done. Whats the word on your truck man? Do you think you'll have it finish by summertime? That thing is gonna win a sh!tload of awards when you get it done.

1LoC10 · 01-15-2009, 02:09 PM

looks great

nuke1 · 01-16-2009, 01:59 AM

Swifty · 01-18-2009, 12:49 AM

packrat42 · 01-20-2009, 11:27 PM

That truck looks GREAT. I just read the whole build and that was a really good thing that you did for your son. I have a lil girl and I hope that I can share that same experience some day.

slimneverdies · 01-21-2009, 12:30 AM

sgtusmc · 02-24-2009, 05:14 PM

Here's some new pic's of my son's heap. This month makes it one year since we bought it. I bought a 54 Cadallac front bumper for it. Hopefully it gets here soon. I can't wait to finish up the front.

junkman1jmc · 02-24-2009, 06:49 PM

I just love this interior, and the whole theme, especially the shifter and floor mats. What are you going to use for ballast in the rear to offset the Caddy bumper!!!
