outside getting some fresh air

NICE! But I know you're holding out on us! You drove it out of the garage didn't you? Where's the video? We want to hear this thing chopping! :metal::metal::metal:

Re: off it goes
 

Great.... Now it's ruined. Sunlight, dust, & dirty tires. Happens every time.

Re: off it goes
 

Wicked, I probably shouldn't get close to it, I'd drown it in drool

Re: off it goes
 

I like the license plate

my buddy had a video on his phone but it sucked, lol...there is air in the power steering and it was making a helluva noise, need to get all the air out of the system. I will get a good video once everything is set up properly...

Re: off it goes
 

lol, thanks

Re: off it goes
 

thanks...I had a few in mind but when with that one

Re: off it goes
 

"Ah just a few little things here and there":lol:

Glad to see it under its own power. Congratulations on sticking it out. The truck is beautiful. It was my favorite C-10 before you bought it, and now its my double favorite. I'm glad you kept the original look and paint color(ish), just took it to a whole new level. I doubt I'll ever get to see the truck in person, but thank you for sharing your journey with us. I've enjoyed seeing it come together.

Re: off it goes
 

thanks so much...never say never, hopefully when life gets back to somewhat normal for us all I can get to some shows in the US, I'm glad you and everyone that followed enjoyed growing old with me as I built the damn thing, lol

Re: off it goes
 

I would love to see it sometime. I'm ready for normal life as well. This virus has really screwed things up.

Re: off it goes
 

still have to change out the rubber intake tube connector for an all black one as soon as it arrives....

Re: off it goes
 

I love this truck!
Do you ever wish you had chrome plated the bumpers?
I know they are highly modified.
Maybe plating them wasn’t even possible.

Re: off it goes
 

The test drive video was awesome! Glad you were able to get it out! Great work!

Re: off it goes
 

Thanks so much...No, from day 1 that’s was one of the things I liked about the truck was the painted bumpers, so chroming them never was in the plans. They are heavily modified so it would of been rough to do, they are narrowed side to side, they are tucked in, both ends were cut off and reworked to fit the body better, they were also smoothed with no bolt heads,

Re: off it goes
 

Thanks man.... still some bugs and a few things to tweak but we’re getting there

Re: off it goes
 

The short test drive on IG looked promising. Congrats!

Re: off it goes
 

thanks, it ran spectacular and sounds amazing...

Re: off it goes
 

Your truck is a work of art. So many details you wouldn’t notice unless you know what you’re looking for or in my case followed along with the build thread haha.

Re: off it goes
 

Why is there no video link here? :(

Re: off it goes
 

It's 2020...we're lucky he chooses to post anything here to be honest. Lots of folks posting to Instagram rather than the forum these days. Instagram is my only "social" media account because so many of the builds I was following here had the photos on Instagram first and eventually they stopped posting here period. Unfortunately for me, I'm taking a break from Instagram so I missed the video too :waah:

Re: off it goes
 

I'm sure you mentioned at some point, but I've forgotten -- Where's the battery hidden?

Re: off it goes
 

I don't understand the trend to move builds to social media vs forums. Forums are just a cleaner way to present the information. I do have an IG account that I look at once in a while.

Re: off it goes
 

too true!.. I listen to "C10 talk" (podcast) and it is funny how he mentions background story lines as "back in the old forum days" (meaning this forum). i'm like: "whadda ya mean- old forum days" :lol: :lol:

I assume that the conversion is due to the convenience of FB and IG on your phone as opposed to having to "log on" to the internet... but I for one am an old hold out & going to stay true to the forum! :metal:

Re: off it goes
 

I push the same number of buttons to get to IG as I do this forum (and 2 others). IG does not capture the depth of things forums like this can. I asked a builder many people follow a question about the trailer fenders he uses for his dually set-ups. Instead of any type of answer, he 'liked' my post. Wow, that helped.

I'll admit, IG is wearing on me these days. I can't stand FB & the commonalities are more & more evident every day. I especially dislike the every 4th post advertisements constantly advertising some music/rap video.
