Re: Birth of a C10

Another update!

Didnt get alot done since the holidays are here but did remembered to grab my smoking pipe while i was at my dads house on Christmas and he also gave me one of his many dash compass's he has:



And i did make it out to the local pick-n-pull and while snooping around picked up some small stuff,the previous owner took the front clip apart but never put all the bolts back in so i snagged some off a couple diffrent 60-66's trucks, then i found a washer bottle and bracket on a gmc , then pulled some jeep door checks/stops, and last thing i grabbed was a window gun rack:


while the washer bottle bracket and gun rack paint was drying i installed the Jeep Cherokee door checks, i used the front door checks because they have a shorter throw then the rear ones, or the stock ones so they help from getting the door dents(smiley face's) and will hold the truck door open on a hill but the front jeep checks have the double postion bumps and i didnt want the first position at all so i ground the first bump off:

Here you can see how the front jeep checks hold the door back from getting a dent you can see the difference with the existing dent from when the stock ones were in:


when i was done with that i bolted the washer bottle on:


last thing i did was cut down the gun rack and drill new mounting holes and mounted it:


Since here in California i dont think its legal to drive around with my shotgun in the window i just put my trusty baseball bat in and will use the top of the rack for my fishing pole
