I appreciate it yall! Patina certainly makes me happy, mainly because working in a garage you end up with all kinds of random stuff bumping it, so to not have to worry is real nice

Right! I originally was going to leave everything all original / worn, but I since have replaced the grill emblem, door emblem and fender emblem with new repops, and honestly the contrast is rather nice having some clean new chrome

I vote wheel cover.

I voted on IG also.

I like the hub caps! I prefer seeing some of the white wheel, looks great against the paint color

[Shifty One]

Hubba-bubba caps all the way! The only thing I'd consider would be some old school slotted mags if you can find a set.

[chewychevy67]

I'm always partial to the 67-68 po1 caps. More uncommon and they look great.

Its been a bit since Ive been on here - my apologies to those who follow along!

Ive had a lot of personal issues that just have prevented me from getting in the garage regularly, along with side jobs and stuff around the house needing sorted (building a deck is terrible - I hate wood!) and the brakes giving me the issues they were was quite demotivating. Especially since I work on my own, so getting someone over to help bleed, while it may sound simple, in my case can be difficult. BUT I plan to soon get on this, and get the roof painted and hopefully have it on the road. I hope to have more updates for yall soon.

Hope it gets better Kyle....

BTW, we're waiting here with baited breath...(yes, I know it's normally "bated", but I need to brush my teeth).....

Hope everything is ok. Can’t wait to see the roof get painted.

Hoping to have the roof done soon, really motivated after a bit of some time off, those brakes that I was fighting were really taking the wind from me. Soon!

Though the videos are much better - here are some pics.

I finally took the truck on a drive, the first drive for this body in about two years, and the first drive for this chassis/motor in about 10 years. It felt amazing to drive this truck. It has been so long since I have driven a C10, let alone this one, it just was probably the best feeling I could have. Took it one street over (I have no radiator fan, the place I ordered from keeps telling me "next week" every time). So I will install the mechanical and just keep off the AC for now when I take longer drives and do some shakedown. Cant wait to paint the roof, install the back window and maybe do some pinstriping to it. Excited is an understatement!
