Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

you sneaky bastard! haha how is Colorado? are you ready to move out there yet?

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

That was sneaky of Dennis. Oh, ya...he will be looking for a job next week. We haven't met up yet but I did get 2 funny calls from him today.
The first: Him "We are in Ft. Collins."
Me "Too bad you can't see the mountains today with the clouds."
Him "I can see them, they are gorgeous."
Me "Umm, dude, there is 2 more taller rows behind those ones."
:eek: That shocked him. :lol:

The 2nd was just to express his shock that it just up and started raining out of no where. My only response was "Welcome to Colorado."

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

hahaha i can just imagine the call! i hope to come out to the next get together with one of my trucks!

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Little Update on the truck!

So Dennis and i went to the painters house to pick up the cab so we could shave the fire wall and pull the glass, strip the door jams. Since i do not have to many pictures of the truck laid out or any pictures of the truck in general i took a few! don't mind the back ground our painter was cleaning stuff out.

i will be getting a drop member soon to get her laid out all the way!

Also be thanks to Dennis for all of his help! He is the man! He pulled the glass like he does it for a living!

also thanks to KrazyRay for a great deal on a front end a few months ago and now a dual headlight core support since i changed my mind. I shaved the stainless trim off of the front end so core support should be painted by tomorrow!

Dennis always looks like he's ready to go to work :)

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Hahaha Dennis is always down to work or have a pepsi and some tri tip!

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

:lol: did someone say pepsi! looks awesome bro!!! i'm glad your happy and you got to finally see some paint! all your efforts and hard work are starting to pay off;) and i do agree the pics just don't do the color justice. its amazing to say the least

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

what did you do for the seems just clean them up and mig away or what??

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Correct just like Dennis's truck to keep the metal from lifting or causing any sort of body work from cracking.

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

awesome build, I just subscribed! by the way, I love the color!

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

:metal:!!! any updates on this bad boy today???!!!

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Thanks guys for the compliments!

No updates I am trying to think of things to do before I leave! I will be getting the fenders all ready for the custom inner fenders and tire clearance.

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

The cab is back off to the painters i am off to Mississippi for a month and a half next saturday. Hopefully when i'm back the bed and maybe the cab will be painted!

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

:metal: right on dude!! i'm glad to see he came by and picked it back up;) did he finish the passenger side of the bed yet?

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

so you did just mig up the cab seem on the back above the window correct

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Yeah that is exactly what i did! There are a few different ways to do it but my paint prefers welding to prevent any body work failure do to shrinkage.
