Hey, whats up? I got a 1975 Chevy C10 I've been working on for a while. I got the truck for my 16th birthday and I've been working on it ever since. What I've done on it so far is raised it (previous owner decided to slam it), swapped some suspension components, body work, repainted, and did a custom sound system. I am currently working on the interior and getting all the final details (trim, emblems, etc.). I'm planning on adding some engine mods (carb, intake manifold, headers, and a new muffler), new rims (Coys, Foose, or Eagle Alloys), and maybe a nice drop. It has a GM Goodwrench 350 engine in it and I think it has the 350 transmission as well.

Old suspension was useless. Front springs were cut so they didn't work, all shocks were shot, rear-end has a flip kit that I was able to save.

yeah, I was planning on bagging it after I got my new rims. At the moment I'm not going to be able to do any more modifications to it because I got t-boned in it, so I have to fix that.

Sound deadener, insulation, and installation items are all Second Skin products. The deadener is the regular Damplifier product, the insulation is the regular Heatwave product, and their adhesive.

Thanks a lot man, I was debating whether to go with silver or black, but I fell in love with the silver.
