Great job!

I hate the rubber lines with the hose clamps, and I am not very good at bending steel fuel lines.

Thank you sir it has been a labor of love. I enjoy this truck a lot more than my S-10 I raced.

Not for nuthin, if your front tires are that far back in the well, your front upper a arms are swapped side-side. Had it happen myself. Easy to fix. Check it out befor you send ti to alignment. Neat ol truck!

I am going to have to look into this.

Finally got my bumper brackets, so now I have a license plate light. Now I just need a tailgate.

TK1636 · 12-29-2021, 10:30 PM

Finally got my tailgate and rims. Also got the posi put in,now I can drive it and enjoy it!

TK1636 · 12-29-2021, 10:32 PM

New engine from smeding, more horse power and more reliable. Just a little expensive but I don't see my self getting rid of these truck.

Great looking truck. I really like the exhaust work. Were you able to use the factory transmission crossmember?

TK1636 · 03-05-2022, 10:21 AM

I used the crossmembers from POL, as I wanted to tuck the exhaust up as much as possible.

Try to launch the truck over the weekend, probably going to need slicks.

I stalled up and then punched it, then had to feather the throttle but still spun.

No stall just feathering the throttle pedal but still spun a little

I really like your truck. You've done a lot to overcome what time did to beat on it. Very clean work. I hope you are really enjoying driving it.

I am enjoying it very much, just not enjoying the gas prices right now. There is going to be a big truck show next Saturday in my town so i will be taking it out for that and getting a ton of pictures with other truck.

TK1636 · 03-18-2022, 02:22 PM

Had a small C-10 truck show in my small town, people from Phoenix and Tucson came down.

TK1636 · 03-18-2022, 02:32 PM

Mine still has a way to go to look as good as the other trucks. I wanted to get mine running and drive able before I start doing the body work.

That's a cool build, it's looking good. Drive the wheels off it now.
